Magical Switch

[wolverine]

WTF? i have appoligised for using that term, whats the problem? i said i will use the proper term next time, and i don't get on here and bag ppl for how they use certain terms. Get over it and talk about cars, i think thats wat this forum is about?

your apology included "what is the problem with the word......"

perhaps this is why a few people have a problem with it?

[Brycey]

wow it looks like a pretty handy device.. considering the reaction to this topic i wonder why its relatively unheard of / why so many s2's didnt come with a remote when imported

Please keep it ontopic fellas, enough of the racial slurr talk, and if it offends people that much I can change it and update all the posts, ok?

I have a S2 but cant see any special "magic" button near the accelerator. There are a whole heap of wires to the right of the accelerator - possibly the thing has been hidden or disabled? Or was it just a factory option?

Had me thinking, how many "magic" buttons can a car have? So many little tricks with our awesome wagons

[evil_weevil]

aussie - australian

kiwi - new zealander

pom - english

yank - american

jap - japanese

whats the problem seriously!?!?!?!?!?!?!

abreviated guys - gees its da intawebz!

[Ska]

Those are all fine, it was a word that is mainly used as a racial derogitory expression of the japanese race.

ANYWAY, Back on topic, my S1 doesnt have it, and I should know, I took my whole freaken dash off!

[Duncan]

yeah mine has it, never tried to use it though and I assume it wont work now I've got an alarm installed locally

Here's another remote starter you could have got with your Stagea...

[Lil_Bobby_260]

Im under the impression it is illegal to have one in ur car?

Or is it okay as long as you have a failsafe making sure your car is in neutral (or park)?

I know friends who have them on their motorbikes due to having dry sumps etc.... but are you allowed to have them under ADR?

PS Bloody hope mine has one...

[jippa]

they are illegal but the odds of being caught are quite slim i would say, probably could say it was the turbo timer

[xRHETTx]

Ahh turbo timers are illegal as well, anything that lets the car run without the keys in the ignition isn't legal.

[Lil_Bobby_260]

Guess its like the xenons. If i buy a car and it turns out its got em, i figure ive paid for them and i want the choice of using them. Its a risk i'd happily take. Not that it is cold enough here in sunny QLD to warrant needing to warm ur car up. Getting ur air con running for a few minutes before u get in, maybe...?

Do the stageas with this remote start come with a failsafe fitted?

[ステージア]

You can start the car remotely (from up to 300m away), but the park brake must be on and be in park. But as soon as you open the door, the engine shuts down.

Stagecoach, if your car in fact does have one, you will need to have the fob (see various pics in thread) & the ppl who fit the mandatory immobiliser for compliance will no doubt make it inoperable (whether intentional or not) So chances are pretty thin.

Good luck anyways!

[iijj]

Is an immobiliser fitment mandatory??? In all states??? Would like to find out b4 my car is ready to come home!!! I asked the shop in Brissie and they said there was no immob fitted and that it would have to be fitted after compliance was approved and car was picked up... know any sites which list what cars, or even S2 Stageas have to have done during compliance. They don't even change the oil anymore!!!

Its funny what you find in the cars you buy.

I have an R30 with a neat little fuelump cut out switch, hidden away under the carpet.

Also my S1 came with a piece of wire hanging off the fuse behind the coin tray. Who knows what that was for.

On the subject of racial slurs, I'm a Pommie Bastard and you can call me anything, but dont call me late for breakfast. LO F#^%#L

[Lil_Bobby_260]

or a liberty driver, apparently :-)
