Great breakdown! One day I hope to be able to do this on my own. I'm having a friend of my brothers' whose installed a remote start for him before. I had decided, kinda late and last minute to want to get a remote start finally for my wife's car. I hope he does a good job. It's gonna be slightly over a week after her birthday. But she doesn't know I'm doing it, so I hope she's pleasantly surprised and pleased. 🤗🤗

Scientists say there's no real proof that there's a "left and right brain" for knowledge but it's evidentally clear that some people are very mechanical and many are not.. because those people are crafty and musical and stuff like that.

Very nice video. Well done. I just pulled an 8 year old Bulldog unit out that's been collecting dust. As an engineer, I'm trying to test this out before I install it. I don't know the theory of operation but it my mind the constant power should be the power source that the bulldog supplies to send the starter relay 12v as well as powers the accessories, such as the blower motor, and also powers the parking lights. I have it on my bench and can't get 12V out of anything. The only thing I have connected is constant 12v and ground. If anyone has a clue, let me know. I'm about to dump it as faulty. Maybe my head is faulty.

@jacksonkeithley7

Жыл бұрын

In a basic sense, the Remote Starter Module simply tells the car to turn on, so most of the power is handled through the factory system itself. The exceptions are for parking lights (used to show the status of the RS when you attempt to start with the remote) and possibly door locks (if your RS is equipped to lock and unlock the vehicle). The other items you listed are all powered through various accessory channels within the vehicle. Most connections on the RS are safety things, such as the hood pin, trunk latch, and typically the door latches

You are definitely correct the Compustar Manual seems a bit confusing, with Positive and negatives on the wiring diagram but, I'm going to order one for my 2001 Nissan Sentra and I too shall make a video. I know this is an old video but, my only recommendation would be to put a fuse at the battery on your blue wire so that if anything grounded out along the way it would pop the fuse before it melted the wire and possibly start a fire. IE -- from rubbing or anything like that.

Hi. Thank you the video was very informative. Quick questions. You must use a key to unlock the steering wheel. What happens if the key is chipped? As in in there is two chips now. If you don't use the remote start is the chip bypassed anyway? Must you use one key if you do and another if you don't? Contused.

@TheCousinDan

2 жыл бұрын

The system will work with multiple keys present. Rental car companies do this a lot for some unknown reason. They put both factory keys on the same keychain and it works fine. You do this and you will always bypass the immobilizer, but another chipped key won't hurt anything

@91litesho

2 жыл бұрын

Once a bypass is installed, especially the type that he used which is universal and has an actual chipped key within it from that point it doesn't make a difference whether you have another chipped key in the ignition or have a key made at your local home Depot or Lowe's or whatever. Any key at that point will work to unlock your steering wheel and be able to drive the vehicle whether chipped or not because the "installed" chipped key will always be sending a signal to the lock cylinder, unless the module goes bad or the transponding ring moves away from the ignition enough to cause an interruption

Blue wire is absolutely wrong…anytime you grab power from any source (ie. battery) fuse must be within a few inches. What do you think would happen if your un-fused blue wire rubbed on the radiator support with engine vibration? Short would cause excessive heat…then fire

Instead of sacrificing a key for the bypass, or having to buy a new key, could you use two keys, and keep one in the ignition, lock it, then use the remote start?

@TheCousinDan

2 жыл бұрын

Yeah, probably. But then all a thief has to do is smash the window and he has your car. I'd rather it be hidden way under the dash in a little non-descript box...and then you still have to have a key to physically turn the ignition column as well.

So when you use the remote start to warm up, when you get in the car to put the key in, does it automatically shuts off so you can start using the key? Or do you press the brakes?
