I'm looking into installing a command start into my 06' hatch with a manual trans. Has anyone put one in? or has a link for a how to?, any info. would be great.
Thanks in advance. :P

You mean a remote start?
Then yes, I have a remote start on my car, but it's an automatic. I'm not entirely sure if they work for manuals just because of the possibility of coming out of gear on startup or something (I remember the guy telling me something of caution but that was like 2 years ago, so I can't remember).
But man does it make a difference! I live in AZ and it gets hot, obviously, so letting it cool down for like 3 mins gets it nice pretty quick.
The search function is your friend.......
I am using Page Guard 8000. Comes with remote start function, shock and noise sensor, valet mode, turn on aircon remotely, ...etc.

Yes, a remote start sorry. I'm bidding on a compustar 2 way. Do any of you folks have pictures of your install?, I'm looking into how to do the clutch bypass relay and well... how to properly install one. Years ago I worked for a couple of car audio shops and sold these to many people, problem is that I never payed enough attention as to how they are installed. I also have to purchace a transponder bypass, I hope they are better in quality than the ones we used to install, if you bumped the steering collum enough or just in the right spot teh "ring" would move and the car wouldn't start...
The other thing is I have a $100.00 burning a hole in my pocket and I'm hopeing to install a remote start with this $100.00 or find somethig else woth while to purchase, preferably something geared towards winter driving. ( I already have new winter grips and steelies and a car warmer)... :)
i dont think it is easily doable in a manual, unless you know how to depress the clutch to start it and not have it coast away i know the E brake but pushing in the clutch to start it, if bypassed means it will lurch forward when it cranks because it is in gear

The remote starter also HAS to be for a manual trans ONLY!.
And it is easy when a person has the proper parts and instructions. :)
It is easy, and obviously you understand the procedure. Whe I installed mine I used a relay, since the output of the unit was 500 mA, but was told later that I could have just hooked that output direct. Check out http://www.the12volt.com they have great information there, and the forum members are awesome, they can answer any questions you may have and there are many diagrams available.
Thanks. :) I'll be buying one of these also. http://ifar.ca/en/products/flashlink_se ... rride-all/
Well I bought this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... 0289267195
And this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... 0265334070
Wish me luck. :lol:
Clint,
I don't see that the RS you bought is for a manual transmission. It will usually state that it is for manual, otherwise you will not be able to put it in ready mode and it would be a dangerous install. Also are you sure you need a transponder bypass? My 08 hatch did not have a transponder key
I checked it out on Compustar.org http://www.compustar.com/main.htm , it says it is compatible. As for the transponder I guess I'll just have to wait and see, the info I got for a few of the local stereo shops was that it needed one, if I do not need it it will be up for sale I guess.
I'm not too worried.
I do have a big favor to ask though, if it's possible I'd like to see pictures of our members remote start installs, I'd like to see where everything is wired from.
If the bypass isn't needed I'll use the money to upgrade it to a two way starter!, gotta love Compustar!.
Ignition Harness, is on the left of the steering whell column. The Bypass has to be installed on the transponder module, under the ignition. Lock and Unlock feature is located right between the handbrake and the shifter...you have to get the center console out to get to it....nothing hard.
Great!, thanks. I plan on posting pics of the install.
Need help! :lol: I need to know exactly which wires are used to flash teh park lights, I have my relays ready to go but I have 3 different wiring diagrams telling me 3 different colors of wires to use. I'm hopeing to tap into them at the plug on the drivers side kick but I need to know if it's the thicker purple wire and thicker brown or skinny purple and brown/white, they tell me to use the purple wire at he kick but theirs 3 of them...
other than that it's all going well, I'm taking lots of pics along the way. :)
Just test the wires with a volt meter before you tap them. You should ALWAYS check a wire before you tap. I think it is a + on the brown and purple so ground on end of a meter and probe the wires with the other end with the parking lights on, then off to verify the voltage change. By the way always use a volt/ohm meter to probe, not a test light!
So I was up till 3am last night wiring. I can't thank you all enough for all this great information, I'm not kidding...Thanks you.
So I took some progression pictures along the way.
I'm quite proud of myself for throwing myself into this, gets me out of my comfort zone and helps me learn new things.
So here's the spaghetti.

And where I left it last night. All I have left (hopefully) is to solder in the tach wire and mount the hood pin, and of course a serious tidy of all the wires and brain.

:shock:
Atleast now we can all see what it looks like taken apart.
I unbolted and pulled out the fusebox for accessability (2 nuts, easy), and removed all the pannels around the steering wheel and under it just so I could have the best view possible, and of course the drivers seat (also easy).
Make sure you have your 10mm wrench (for dash pannels) and 12mm socket (for the 4 seat bolts), all your wiring tools and alot of patience.
holy crap, keep it up and then make a how to and put in the how to section!!!!

When you are done making connections, I would wrap your harnesses and wires with good quality electrical tape and maybe some wire loom. That will give it a factory look, no one will be able to tell just by looking under the dash..Quote:

This is driving me nucking futs! :x . I know I must have hooked one or more of the wires to the wrong spot.
I tested for tach today and at idle it's at 1 volt or a touch over and as I rev it up the volts (AC) increase.
but I press the button on the side of the unit to learn tach and it does nothing, I can get it to click the relays signaling it's in or out of valet mode, but then it tells me I have the key in the ignition... and i don't.
If anyone it willing to talk to me on the phone I'd gradly call them (Anywhere in Canada or the US).
Or just post if you know what I'm doing wrong. :roll: I need a drink but I can't I gotta go work 12 hours of night shift now, but I log on here at work too.
Oh yeah, my tach wire is connected to the white wire at the coil.

Clint,
You cannot get tach signal from the coil on a modern engine. Here is a quote from a install site.
"The "new" style electronic ignition systems (aka "waste spark" systems )is whole different world. This system is computer controlled and basically uses three sensors ( 7 x Crankshaft position sensor, 24 x Crankshaft sensor and camshaft position sensor) to calculate engine rpm, when to fire the injector solenoids and how much to advance/retard spark among other things. So there really is no "tach wire" per se.
The three sensors typically are two "hall effect" and one "reluctance pickup" (the 7 X crank sensor which is the HEART of the system without which the engine will NOT start). So it probably is not a good idea to try to tap one of these signals to use as the tach signal. Probably the best way to "create" a tach wire is to pick off one of the fuel injector solenoid signals ( any one will do)right at the Power train control module ( aka "the computer"). This way there's no need to go through the firewall. However, you must be absolutely sure of the correct wire for as we know, a screwed up 'computer" replacement is huge bucks. Undoubtably, the best way to get it right is to have the actual service manual for the vehicle which will give the computer connector signals and pin outs. Basically, each injector solenoid has 2 wires. One wire is "common" ( the same color at each solenoid) and is tied to +12V through usually a 20 amp fuse labeled INJ/COIL in the fuse panel. Each individual other wire on each solenoid goes through the harness and back to the computer which switches (pulses) that wire to ground to activate the injector at a frequency proportional to engine RPM . So all you need to do is tie on to one of these wires ( identified by the service manual) and bingo, there's your "tach signal".
But like I said I got it at the plug at the firewall on the inside. If you need more help post on http://www.the12volt.com and these guys are experts and probably installed you exact system in an Aveo before.
I will change it today, thank you.
I just installed my remote start today, went better then I thought it would. It took about 3 hours to do but that was without power door locks and a factory keyless entry system so it was pretty easy. The instructions that came with mine said to tap the gray tach wire at the ECM. But when I removed the back cover of the connector, there were 5 or 6 gray wires and I didn't have access to service info to find out which one it was. So i just tapped the signal wire on the #4 injector. Now all I need is some actuators for power locks and i'll be all set.
any updates, i wana install one too, do i need a transponder (i have a 04 aveo, manual, with power everything)?
