Update on remote starter
Just to update everyone about that remote starter I got. (the "oem" one) well I got thinking about it today and decided to give it another shot and trying to get it to work. I knew I had the install correct, that was a cake walk, but the remote still wouldn't turn the car on. After many people telling me I had to have the remote feature turned on in the computer I refused to believe it. So I went out and read the directions over and over. I registered the remote correctly after about 5 trys and what do you know, IT WORKS. The only downfall is when you open the door the car shuts off. kind of a security feature I guess.

Shuts off to make you start the car, thus confirming you actually have fastkey fob, so someone can't just hop in and drive? That would be my guess. (assuming this is on a fastkey equipped RA? I don't know whether all trims in US have fastkey?)

yes I have the fast key RA, I don't mind that I have to restart it. atleast the car will be warm in these Wisconsin winters. I can't believe the dealership wanted 130 something bucks to do this.

what is the part number for the remote start that you got, ive been looking into this myself and the dealer says its unavailable for the ra. They don't even have a remote start in their computer for the lancer. I knew they were full of crap !!!

tell them they're stupid as hell and should be fired.
OH yeah and whatever you hear about "you have to take it to the dealer to have the remote start feature enabled, no no no full of ****, I installed it without the dealers help"

I have a '11 RA with a remote start function. I too don't like that it shuts down after unlocking or opening the doors. After some searching, there are reports that this is a safety feature that can be turned off. Though, I don't know enough about remote starters to even know where to look for this option. Any pointers on where I should start looking?
