Installing a remote starter kit

[ashby1108]

Morning guys,
I’m just about to go and start installing a remote starter kit.
I’ve tried everywhere to find the wiring diagram and even paid for Emanuel which was utter rubbish.

I have the 1.3 multijet doblo.
Has any one else installed one of these or know where I can buy a decent Manuel?

Thanks in advance

Hi

What is it supposed to control?

What is the scope of the kit in your hand (according to instructions)


What model Doblo..

There are at least 5 scenarios

So, is this a kit which allows the vehicle's engine to be started remotely? Say perhaps whilst you are eating your breakfast in the kitchen so it can warm up before you go out to it? I ask because somewhere deep in the misty fug which constitutes my memory these days, is surfacing a thought that you commit an offence by leaving a vehicle with it's engine running unattended?

Or are we talking about a sophisticated remote starter actuator. The only type of remote starter I've used is a simple switch which bridges the starter solenoid so you can more easily crank the engine when working on it. The thought of starting any vehicle's engine when not there so you can immediately "kill" it if something goes "pear shaped" is something I would be avoiding like the plague.

I’m with Jock on this. I’m unsure of the legalities here, unattended engine running as Jock points out. What about the insurance? Does this effect anything? Personally, and only my take, this is something that’s not really needed. Just my thoughts.

That wouldn't be a lot of use to me - I leave mine parked on a slope in gear.

Can you imagine....

Simple answer
Go outside... Start the van.... Then go and eat your breakfast...... Simples
Will save you money and less hastle with insurance company
That's what I do

The only issue I have is the van won't allow me to lock the doors with my second remote fob while the engine is running, good job I have a secure drive so not to concerned

There is not much to installing a remote starter,
Relay to switch on the ignition, another to crank the car and a sensor to detect when the car is running to stop the cranking!
Obviously if you have a manual car you need to also check if it is not ingear and if it has a transponder in the keyfob then you need to bypass that or the car will never start.

It is possible that MODERN remote starters have all the needed security bypass included, who knows, did you mention the brand of remote starter you have?

Remote starting is cool, I have had it on many cars and bikes.
Most of the wiring can be got from behind the ignition key.


Best of luck, but check the laws in your area or just own the risk..
