[s-cars] Remote Starter

[Doug Landaeta]

I thought that was the case. A friend is putting one in a Toyota and there
are quite a lot of wiring connections to be made, including hood switch, and
door locks, etc. There are only a few units made for a manual trans. His was
made in Korea, but printed bilingual in French, so I think it was from a
Canadian Supplier.

The added benefit might be a remote key fob that actually has a decent range
compared to the IR key remote. I really don’t mind going out and starting
her up, I make it a habit never to drive off before 50 degrees C.
