So, to get the OEM buzzer to work you would need to hook up the trigger to a specialized driver circuit which would power the OEM.buzzer. Or something like that.

Thanks for the info.
I guess I should stick with mini piezo then.

sorry I had been meaning to give my updates on my findings, been busy.

I have a question to you guys. well I live in MI so its pretty cold out here.
Sometimes when I try to remote start. it tries to ignite twice and fails, then horn beeps. I click on the start remotely a second time, then car starts. I'm trying to deduce if
1) remote start system is crappy
2) remote start brain not rated for cold temp
3) i did not do a top notch job on soldering
4) solder is crappy not rated for cold temp
5) I did not wire correctly
6) relays are crappy not rated for cold temp.
7) FRS starter motor is crappy. it takes longer to crank in cold weathers?
8) I placed the brain and relays above hd1, ed2 area; so close to the outside. is that causing this?

do you guys exhibit similar condition and which do you guys think is the biggest contender

Same thing happens to me occasionally when its cold, but not every cold day. I thought it was because of wire splicer I used on clutch wire not making good contact + vibration by ignition of engine, but my second guess would be the brain unit.

I have put mine today!

nice! Welcome aboard How easy/hard for you to complete?

More of my issues. 2 days ago I opened the trunk via remote fob to put groceries, for some reason it turned on my radio. I though it'd shut it off after I pressed the off button on the fob, but it did not. still I thought maybe it is on a timer or something and will shut off in few, but it did not.
I thought all the kinks were gone. have to look at the wiring I suppose.

Lol this does that for some reason. I couldn't figure it out why it does that so I gave up. Now, I use trunk release only if I have to drive it after trunk use. In case of just getting some stuff out of trunk, I open driver side and use button on the dash. It is not as convenient as OEM trunk release, but not a big deal for me.

1- sorry if my respon is in french, but it will be more accurate.

2- j'ai tout fais installer chez Radio d'auto Martin. Le technicien a pris environ 5,5 heures de travail pour accomplir la tâche.

C'était la première fois qu'il installait un Easy Go système. Selon lui, le kit était très bien monté. Il y avait beaucoup de connections à faire selon son opinion. Il dit aussi que le système était conçu pour une transmission automatique , car il n'y avait aucun moyen de bypasser la voiture pour installer le démarreur à distance.

L'installation de la poignée a été le plus difficile , car le tuto de Cheetah ne disait pas comment le faire. Il fallait enlever un petit panneau sur l'extrémité de la portière.

La commande de la poignée fonctionne. Bien. Le color match est cool.

Je n'ai pas installé le détecteur de choc, car il partira tout le temps.

Il y a un morceau que ne m'ai pas installé, car il est reconnu pour démarrer des incendies dans la voiture. Je l'identifierai dans un édit prochainement.

Le démarreur à distance ne fonctionne pas. Je prend encore celui installé par le concessionnaire lors de l'achat.

Le bouton ouvre-valise a fonctionné seulement lors de l'installation. J'irai faire vérifier cela dans le futur.

oh wow remote start does not work huh.

what piece did you not install that you think will cause fire?

Maybe try another tech?

The fuse tap

well you kindda need that to get +12V and a fuse. did you hook the (+) elsewhere? like ignition cable? otherwise it would not function...

[nunonuna]

Bypass for clutch was posted few pages back. If you don't do it, remote start function does not work for MT.

What is the thing that could start a fire that you avoid install? As far as I remember, only a shock sensor and door handle can be skipped. Other components of the kit are required in order to work.

See above; the fuse tap!

Sorry I missed it.

Yeah that fuse tap is necessary unless your tech found other solution.

Edit/update: I suspect this caused by brain unit not cranking long enough when its cold. One day in last week, it was about 13°F & I tried to turn my car by remote starter, but it failed. So I went in the car and tried to start it while clutch and brake are pushed, but still failed for several times(This means that the clutch bypass was not the reason for doing it). I thought my battery went dead for a second but it was not dead.

While I was stuck at parking lot of work, I took the spare key out of immobilizer box and put the key in and turned it to ignition and held it until it started. Boom it started.

I think when it is cold temp out side, the engine requires slightly longer cranking time, but it seems like brain unit just cuts the power sooner right before it starts about (0.5 second early). I thought this brain unit will hold the cranking until engine starts, but my experience tells me it doesn't.

Does anyone know if we can adjust cranking time of brain unit?? or is it not adjustable?
