Valet switch
Im looking for the tread or info on how to cripple my rx when Im giving the keys to some valet. I know it has something to do with the CU but that’s all
Thanks PS searched with no luck |
I do not think there is one with a stock ECU . With some after market ones you can lower the rev limiter.

I believe rob robinette thought up something like this. take a look at his site

I'm so paranoid about door dings I just park it myself in a place where no one else can nail it and walk. |
can the power fc do that? seems like it does just about everything else.

you could get a boost controller, and turn it waaaaaaaaaaaay down before you hand the keys over. i like ron's idea also.

with a haltech. this was hitman's way to do a valet switch, well more of a way to not be able to start the car. --->
use the Aux RPM Limit. Hide the switch or put a key switch on the car, and set the rev limit to 2500rpm or so. The sneaky way to do it which is good for anti-theft, is to make a dongle (connector with internal wiring) that fits on the Spare A/D connector. With the Aux RPM Limit set at 300rpm the thief will start the car but it will stall, and it will take them ages to find what is going wrong because the dongle will look like it should be there. Just remove it to return to normal use. |

pull a fuse from under the hood and keep it with you. that always works. But on second thought why would you ant valet to drive it anyway?
hmm could you set the turbo timer to 5 min and take the keys with you then he'd have 5 min to park it? just a thought. |
