has anyone rewired the pannic button to turn on there remote start?

 

at the current moment... i believe its not possible... if someone else has done it.. i would be interested... cause i have had people come into my shop and ask about it...

 

It's not possible. There is no remote start for a stock scion. Remember when you bought your car, and the dealer went through all that crap about the key having a chip in it, and when you turn the key in the ignition, the chip sends a signal to the engine telling it to turn on. If that chip doesn't tell the enging to turn on, it won't. The remote turn on thingy is like 600 bucks because they hardwire another chip into your system.

BUT...........I have heard about hitting the unlock button three times, it turns on.......I think?

 

well this thread is old but basically your dealer is partially lying to you. yes you have a chip in your key.

However you can still put in a RS system for fairly cheap. all youll need is a bypass module ($50) and one of your existing keys (free) and then whatever RS/alarm combo you want ($100-600). Its very easy to do (for the experianced installer)

if you have a manual then your out of luck as most shopd will not touch your car

 

That's why I haven't gone back to my dealership seince I bought the car.hehe

 

i just got a avital alarm and remote start with the combo it cost me 480 with install but i ran into problems beacuse they didnt finishthe job the only think they have to do is hook up the remote start so last night i was driving and i knowticed my lights didnt turn on and my gas gage was ____ed up it said it was empty and my check engine turn on 2day ohh yea and they stole my glass pipe ot of my car ____in putos!!!!!

 

i think its possible. just get a remote starter, a bypass module (it requires a spare key - valet key), then trace down the wire that sends out a signal when panic is hit, should be easy to do. the remote sensor is on the driver's side back seat above the speaker. then take that wire, and you might have to reverse the signal with a relay or turn a steady signal into a pulse etc. and connect it to the remote starters wired input for activation.

in theory sounds super easy

 

spare keys are like 85 bucks! or so i'm told

 

^easy concept? ARe you fricken nuts? Doesnt sound the least bit easy to me. I want remote start!!! its still possible on manual right?

 

Yes you can have remote start on a manual. well I do but it wasn't installed at a shop. you will need a clutch bypass and nutral sensor. or just the clutch bypass but you better remember everytime to make sure your car isn't in gear.,

 

Did you do it yourself?
Where do you get those sensors?
And how much?

 

you can make a clutch bypass with a relay. all you have to do is connect it to the clutch safety switch. then relay it up to send a ground to that wire

 

hitting the unlock button on the stock remote will turn the engine on?? what! haha mine doesn't do that! damnit..>=( ...where did u hear this from??

 

i hope you're being sarcastic......

 

haha yah I was dude, I know our car doesn't do that.

 

You can add aremote start to your stock key. You would hit the lock button 3 times and the car would start . You do need a bypass for your key or you can spend a bit more and buy a bypass that learns the info in your key. We do Manual remote starts all of the time. Just find a Compustar Dealer they have a unit that is programmed for Manual trans RS. The reason Viper does not offer this is because 50% of there dealers could not handling installing them.

 

okay, lol.

sraudio: how much does it cost for that? the final cost - installation and parts.

 

yah...could you please tell us a place where we can go...or post a link to a site that carries it?? I live in southern cali so if u kno of any shops out here that can do that or sell that part..please let me know!!!
