Remote starter

[Conn SVX]

Anyone have a remote starter on the SVX? Is it causing any problems with the alarm and door locks?
Has anyone put one on a manual tranny automobile any make ? If so what were the results. Like or dislike ?

I put one in a Sunfire ( NOT mine LOL.. )The difference I noted in putting one in a stick shift, was the extra sensing wire for the dome light. To "ARM" the remote starter, you had to be in neutral, parking brake set, and then open the door. Then shut it off. It kept running until you closed the door. That let you know that it was "ARMED"..

I would assume that that was to ensure that you couldn't start it in gear, (bypassing the clutch switch). I guess that as much as an automatic disables the starter in all selector ranges except for Park and Neutral, the dome light thing and run on on the stick shift install was an equivalent safety feature. Also, some automatics won't let you take the keys out unless the shifter is in Park.

Kinda like how you can't shift out of Park in an SVX without putting your foot on the brake pedal, manufacturers put in certain safety protocols into the ignition system, and remote starter manufacturers replace them with their own criteria.

For less than fifteen bucks, a complete wiring guide for wiring remote starters and stereos in an SVX.. other years available at a similar price.

Python makes the one I am looking at! You stop the car ,foot on brake,car in N.put e brake on. Take foot off brake, press remote button. Lights flash 5 times. Turn off key, car still runs. Leave car, lock doors ,car stops running. If anyone unlocks the door it cancels the remote start function.

Check with Shane Hobson here in New Zealand, he got one fitted on his SVX.

I will share of course. Still waiting to hear from remote starter people . Especially 5 speed on any car.

I have a question about the factory security system is there a wire on the system for [Factory Alarm Disarm] and [Factory Alarm Rearm]
The remote start harness has 2 wire if they do that I have to hook up.


Remote Start Primary Harness (H1), 9-pin harness:

• H1/1 (Light Green/Black): [Factory Alarm Disarm] security system

• H1/2 (Green/White): [Factory Alarm Rearm] security system

I had an autostarter/ 2-way on my SVX that I still kept after converting to manual. Had removed NSS so it could start without the clutch being engaged. NJ doesn't have anything in the much of safety testing anymore so that was fine. You do lose cruise control however.

It's arguably more dangerous with that route since you could start in gear by accident. Had it that way for about a year, then someone started my car with the remote by accident, and then the car rammed into the garage door.

The new starters are designed for stick shift. viper I believe is one.. You set brake and place in N and get out of car running. When you lock the door it shuts off. If you unlock the door before you remote start it won't remote start. That proves to the remote that the car will not move when started i do not understand the above mention of factory security system wiring?

I had one on my old lifted gl. No fancy switches hooked up, so if I tried to start it while it was in gear it would move. If it was in low and previously warmed up, it would start and drive off at two miles an hour. Had it hooked to the brake light switch so if you forgot to put in the key, it would shut off when you hit the foot brake. I'll be putting this in my svx at some point.

My current 97 has one installed. i don't even bother with the svx alarm because i have the lock hooked up to the remote but i'm guessing that you could set the wiring up in a way that it would disarm the alarm. probably would have to wire into the alarm wiring though because it doesn't turn off the alarm when just unlocking the doors i can tell you that much. when my alarm is enabled i can remote start no problem but when unlocking the doors i have like 30 seconds to put the key in the ignition or alarm will go off.
