hi guys

I have a alarm system and the remote doesn't seem to operate as it should.

thought randomly it works fine.

I assumed it was the battery, but when I replaced it it was still the same.

anyone have a rough idea of what may be the issue or is it simply the fact my remote is stuffed?

If there is anymore information I need to share to assist with someone helping me.

please let me know.

Regards

Sloane

I have the smae problem wuth my remote.

I used to try changing the battery, I now just crack the shits and tap the remote on something...... lol not the best fix, but it makes me feel better :)

If any one knows a way to fix this issue,I would also be greatful for the information.

yeah mate had the exact problem with a customers car at work. pulled it apart and found two dry solder joints. resolder them and it worked like a treat. if you are good with a solder iron then give it a go cos if you take else where they will tell you to replace the remote.

Same god damn problem with me aswell!

Curse the previous owner who had to install a shitty eBay alarm grrr !!

Solder it aye? Hmm.

And what if that doesnt work lol ?

I played around with the 2 dials in the remote..

Didnt do anything for me.

Don't touch it unless you have a back up plan if you stuff it up lol

I notice its been working fine when I point remote to engine direction :ermm:

I remember I've got a Spare Remote but its at a relatives so will have to pick it up.

I lurk on a huge list of forums, lol.

And your dead right, dont try to fix the remote if you dont have a fail-safe plan, that's just asking for trouble, and will put you into a bad situation.

With my previous car, someone installed a cheap ebay POS alarm, and wired it in quite stupidly, so I had the car towed (became unstartable) to an auto electrician and set him to task to remove the mess and set the car back to stock.

He did this, and then I went and got a proper alarm system installed in the car.

hey guys

stupid remote not working again

i tried my spare remote to see if it worked and didn't do anything either....

now I'm getting all sorts of weird beeping and basically have no friggin central locking meaning i need to open door via the key.....

and to start my car now I have to put key in ignition

set the alarm off then press remote to disable immobiliser and alarm (only time it seems to work)

just to start my car!!!! :sleep:

I'm going to ring the installers tomorrow who installed the alarm about the issues I'm having.

I got this installed on 25th January 2008

spent about $2200 at their workshop

Just curious as to whether they should fix this issue under a warranty?

Can some please verify that.

If all goes down the drain I will be seeing Chris Rogers.

    • I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.
    • Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.
    • Yeah that's what I meant, permanently connected not manual
    • Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.
    • There was a good video somewhere, maybe Kurzgesagt that linked physical activity to ADHD/Anxiety/Insomnia etc. Basically the body WILL spend energy doing something if you don't spend it doing anything physical. It isn't fun, but I personally have noticed I've never been overthinky, or unable to sleep if I'm physically exhausted from doing a lot. The musings around it seem to indicate that this is one of the reasons/mechanism that physical activity improves mental health/wellbeing etc, by more or less not using that 'extra' energy to overthink, be anxious, inflammation, etc. There's also the fact that every obnoxious exerciser ever says it's great and helps which is extremely annoying. Like people who say the same thing about travel being the best thing ever. I mean, they clearly are, but blah. I started doing a LITTLE myself (think 3x15min per week) and honestly did notice the benefits, aiming at life quality when older. Which is sooner than you think. Getting something into your routine that you can actually make a routine has helped me at least. This post brought to you by procrastination between sets.
