I have a DEI stand-alone remote start in my car (551T or something to the effect). Anyhow, it's working and it is activated with a negative pulse from my Alpine alarm. I hit one of my remote buttons (channel 4), remote start activates, disables my alarm's impact and something else, then starts the car.

Problem: If I set my alarm off, the remote start keeps working :( . Actually, the car stalls because my alarm cuts the fuel when it goes off but the remote start then tries to start the car a bunch of times. The alarm stops going off 1 minute later then the car starts up again :mad:

I was thinking that I could use the alarm to cut the ground to the remote start. The DEI is stupid and if the ground returned, the remote wouldn't try to re-start.

Any other suggestions? I am leaving it like this for now because it works. You still can't technically steal the car because you can't turn the wheel and can't use the brakes. Also, the car doesn't run because it gets no gas.

so instead of doing a fuel cut why don't you change it to an ignition cut that will effectivly do the same thing
and rewire the ignition feed of your remotestart on the other side of your ignition kill

The DEI remote start is shutting down because it is not getting fuel to run. The 551 will try to restart 3 times. I will not because we have no fuel going because of your alarm system.

If you preformed a shut down diagonstics of the 551 I am not sure if it would show the reason why it shut off. If it did however I am guesing it would trouble code 3, low or no RPM.


Do a simple ignition or starter kill, problem solved [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

Ignition kill ... would PROBABLY work but the stupid DEI would just try to re-start again until it fails 3 times ( I thought more ).

I like fuel kill because it's away from the front of the car ... and it's easy.

if you prefer it that way you can feed your fuel wire from the remote start by adding an additional relay onto your ignition output and feed your fuel killed wire
