Remote START sa Car OK BA TO?

[Bundat]

This was one funny and sad experience with the auto-start car alarm :lol:
I was in a car accessory shop mga 2 months ago and there was this corolla having a new HU installed in his car. The car was equipped with an auto start car alarm. So nung kinakabit na yung HU nya may nag park na starex right in front of the car na may binibili din sa shop. Then after a few minutes, the owner of the corolla accidentally sat on the remote of his car (eh naka 1st gear un auto tapos handbrake down kase sagabal nga naman yung handbrake up sa mekaniko na nagkakabit ng HU).... there it went, nag auto start then headon sa starex :oops: whew... napagastos tuloy ng 3k yung owner ng corolla for the bumper of the starex :cry:

So if you're planning on installing an auto-start feature in your car, always remember the simple ABC - Always Be Careful. Safety First ika nga!

may narinig na rin akong balitang ganyan. kilala nyo si michael flores? yung dancer dati na naging artista sa tgis. napanood ko dati sa isang interview niya yung auto niya may auto start. tapos may nangtrip yata sa kanya nilagay sa 1st gear. e naka park sya face front sa wall. yon pag start nya banga sa wall yung auto nya. wawa naman....

ingat na lang. siguraduhin nyung nasa neutral yung auto niyo.

Yung Silicon Alarm ng Honda City, Hindi magsta-start if hindi nakahandbrake, naka park or neutral. Automatic rin aandar yung aircon after 5 seconds after engine idling speed stabilizes.

Ang alam ko sa remote start at least warm up lang, particularly sa mga diesel engine at d talaga actuall cranking. Kung ganun nga ad if u left ur car at 1st gear, d naman dapat tumakbo un. Stall lang dapat ang engine. Lalo pa pag naka parking break.

Very useful ang remote start sa cold climates (as in yung mga nag bebelow zero). You can leave your heater on then start the car malayo ka pa lang. Pag pasok mo sa kotse sarap, mainit na! Nung nasa Minnesota ako, how i wished AVIS would give me a car with remote start.

Siguro useful din satin dito. You can leave your A/C on. Start the car malayo ka pa lang, then malamig na sa loob ng oto pagpasok mo. Specially kung madalas ka magpark sa mga uncovered areas.

tanong lang po, pag auto start b? bubukas n dn agad pinto mo? kc kung ganun bka masalisihan k! psensya n po sa stupid question ko.. curious lng po

[kenshinx]

*yudyin,

Hindi dapat bumukas ang pinto ng kotse. AFAIK, remote start systems are added on the alarm system, so you use the unassigned botton/s dun sa remote (normally combination of bottons). Nung magpakabit ako ng alarms sa blue lazer natanong ko yan, meron sila kaya lang namahalan ako sa 1700 :-)

pag start nya banga sa wall yung auto nya. wawa naman....

ingat na lang. siguraduhin nyung nasa neutral yung auto niyo.

aray!

yung honda ko may ganito. kaya maganda sya ilagay sa mga A/T lang talaga. kasi lagi lang yun nasa park or neutral.

wow nabuhay ang thread! lol 2002 pa ito ah...like almost 6yrs na.

anyways, marami nang lumipas na mga kaganapan and since then I have installed a few remote starts na on my honda civics. I think about 3 or 4 civics since then.

zero issues naman so far. ang binili kong remote start ay iyong sa Ebay. about 2000 pesos complete na. alarm, remote entry, remote start, etc. ang dali lang mag install pala kala ko ay mahirap. first time ko ay medyo nahirapan ng kaunti pero after noon ay madali na lang.


usually iyong mga bagong remote start ay may mga safety features like when it starts it will not accelerate if not in neutral, or if you don't press the brake pedal, or if the door is open, or if the keys are not in the car, or if you don't have the seatbelts or if the hood is open.

there's a lot of ways to put security for a safety remote start...i guess if you are buying an alarm you might as well have this since the newer ones ay may kasama nang ganiring module

Yung remote start ok na ok sa akin iyan. Mahilig kasi ako gumamit ng cabin heater sa umaga on my way to school. Hindi naman gagana yung heater unless mainit na yung makina. Hehehe. Ok na pang warm up ito remote start. Papaandarin ko na yung sasakyan habang naliligo ako.

You need to warm up a car in the Philippines? Sorry, no harm intended. I'm trying to imagine it and I can't help but giggle.... Me, if there's no frost, ice, snow, or if standing water outside is liquid, I just drive and go.

I agree. An autostart is good for cold weather. By that I mean biting cold weather.

The remote start is a standard accessory in my 3.2 strada a/t. This coupled with "automatic aircon on" option, I find it useful to cool my cabin when parked under the sun before I ride it, although, I don't use it frequently. Other than that, parang novelty lang ito, imo. I still can't think of other situations where it will be of great use. BTW, the auto start of my strada will start only if the shifter is in P.
