how a remote starter works?
thinking of one for my 91 during winter where i have to pre-start the car and warm up my windows.
how does it work?
i know i dont leave a key in the ignition when parked, but once i remote start it, can i drive w/o the key or do i have to shut it off and start it again with the key?
thanks guys,
Carlos

well...you could if you wanted to install it wrong, but it isnt a very good idea.. my HS english teacher remote started his car in gear one time and it drove straight into someone else's parked car....lol
plus, if you dont put the safety features in, someone can just jump in ur car and drive away without the key

how does it know how long to keep the starter going? Or do you hold the remote button down to make the starter go (like turning the key), then just let go when it gets running?

i wish someone would invent a system which uses todays technology of user ID (like the merc SL500 which doesnt require a key, but rather a transmitter you carry and the car senses it and allows u to turn the "switch" to start the car) and auto starting.
u have ur transmitter in ur pocket, you walk towards ur car and when u get within a certain programable range, the car starts on its own.

The Viper (as all DEI) remote starts learn the RPM through the tach sense wire. Using the tach wire also prevents someone getting into the car and flooring it. With the Tach sensing it would shut down the car as soon as 3500 RPM was hit, preventing an over rev situation.
BTW I use DEI (viper) remote starters on all my cars, but I hook them up correctly with a tach input and neutral safety input being used.

new cars have a lot of safety features that you probably do not want, Cadillac remote start features make it so you are inaccessible to the inside of the vehicle, ie. the windows have to be all the way up, doors locked, trans in park, etc, etc, etc and the moment you open the door it shuts off. they also use the passkey system in the SRX which all you do is get into the car and push a button to start it and shut it off, the remote stays in your pocket the whole time.

also, how does it work with Turbo Timers? If you don't have the key in won't the Turbo Timer "see" there isn't a key and then start counting down to turn off the car?

the system is installed right...and it still shuts off when overreved.....so lets not assume that no one else can do it right...there are two options for a reason

both work just fine..not sure why you think timers are not a useful of a device in FC's...wire it right and they work just fine..

Voltage set is for installers too lame to spend the extra time to do it right.

The only cars that you want to use a turbo timer on is for cars that have only oil cooler turbos.
On a FC a Turbo timer is just rice. Rice= something that the owner thinks looks cool, but serves no real performance or mechanical purpose.
