So check this out... I got a mid 90s R50 Pathfinder I'm finishing up. Its an over-landing vehicle and has a slight lift, winch plate (building a bumper), and a 4-way integrated camera system with alarm trigger/alarm input movement sensor, and so on. I'm looking at the Viper as I want a 2-way with RPM display and stuff . Do you think that would be a good fit? I'm also planning some sort of actuator to raise the hand brake and kick it out of gear, then verify that it is indeed out of gear, then activate a relay allowing it to start. That's not something I've seen done before and should be interesting.

[@absoluteelectronix7991]

I got a compustar 920S for my daughter's 2009 VW Tiguan. She only has one key fob. I'm trying to figure out the best way to get it to stay running. The remote start works when the key is in the ignition, but stops after 2 seconds if it's not. I don't know exactly how to do the wiring wrap trick with the ignition and the key or if I even can do that without some kind of bypass. I don't know if there's any (reasonably priced) bypasses that work without needing a second key. I've started by ordering a second keyfob that I don't plan on cutting. I'll just swap the keyed half while programming the new one. Any advice?

[@chrisk19791]

@@absoluteelectronix7991 I figured the key wrap procedure out. It works perfectly. I'm stuck on two last things. This is a 2009 Volkswagen Tiguan. When I remotely start it, the oem key fob won't unlock the doors. I have to turn off the vehicle with the remote start before the oem will work. The second thing is that I'd really like to hook up the hood pin, but I've given up trying to fish the wire through the firewall. Do you think there's anything under the dash I could connect the hood pin wire to that would properly disable the remote start when the hood is open? Edit: BTW, if you were wondering, I obtained the second oem key fob - that was how I was able to get the key wrap procedure to work. I used 14g wire to wrap the top half portion of the key about 6 times. I zip tied it and created a loop. I made contact with the metal on the key with exposed wire and taped it. I wrapped the black plastic base of the ignition three times with the wiring and zip tied it.

Just because you have a new battery doesn’t mean it was charged properly in the beginning AND if it’s been killed too many times it will not hold a consistent charge. You need to test battery and not assume it’s good. All signs lead to bad battery since it won’t die for a few days
