remote start / spare key

[AaronI1]

is there a cheaper way of getting a spare key for my transponder box thing for the remote start? i just found out that the keys from the dealer are like $35 and $85ish to code it. i find that pretty ghey.

[kimletrim]

You can code the key yourself. There are instructions in your owner's manual.

[AaronI1]

like, do i have to physically get the key from mitsu? or can i buy like a cheapy pos from like home depot. im never gonna see it since its in the transponder thing.

[Terenus]

I got a quote the other day from SCM that it's like 40 bucks for key and 110 for remote and 85 to reprogram.

lol... home depot
there's a chip inside the key
yea... home depot sure carries that

[AaronI1]

haha, i just want to go the cheapest route.

[kimletrim]

Didn't your car come with two keys? Cheapest route would be to use the second key.

[AaronI1]

yeah, it did come with 2 keys. i just dont want to be f'd if i were to ever lose my originals.

[b00stedPin0y]

I just got a brand new key with the programming done from HB Mitsu for 79, great price. Â*All the other dealerships I went to really overpriced. Â*I believe I have seen some companies that have bypass modules for remote start alarms for cars such as our evos. Â*Sorry I couldnt find the website though

[verano]

^^ yeah i paid around $80.00 at HB Mitsu and that was 2005...i guess they have not changed the price yet :)

[AaronI1]

wait, 80 for the key and programming? i called 2 dealerships and they're charging like 40 something for the key, and like 90ish for the programming. am i getting some bs quotes?

[Terenus]

Anyone know how to program the remote?

ROFL, there's only instructions for the key.

[Terenus]

Ok...I think this will also solve the problem with the JDM IX key remote. You have to get it programed by MUT-III or what I'm thinking is Evoscan. I'll look into that.

[RPD_FKTARD]

.... i programmed my own 2 extra spare keys.. the info is in the manual man...

You obviously are brain dead Lewis. I am talking about the, let me spell it out for you "R" "E" "M" "O" "T" "E". Thanks and have a nice day.

[kimletrim]

Damn, I didn't know you had to have the remote programmed.

[RPD_FKTARD]

no you dont... Terenus just like to go offtopic of what the original poster intend to ask.. lol

[AaronI1]

wait, so i can just buy the blank and program it my self?

[Evolution22plus1]

cost me $100 for the spare key for my remote start...

[RPD_FKTARD]

wait, so i can just buy the blank and program it my self?

blank key from mitsu dealer, yes if you have 2 working keys.

[kimletrim]

wait, so i can just buy the blank and program it my self?

[AaronI1]

so in the transponder box thingy, does the key need to be cut? Â*or the programming is sufficient enough? Â*why do i need the two working keys? Â*sorry for the 20 questions.

aaron

[kimletrim]

The owner's manual is your friend. Read it. The ignition cut is sourced to your key, not the door lock/unlock fob.

aaron

key need to be cut... because you'd have to stick it into the ignition and turn it to ready state to program it
uncut keys wont turn.

[AaronI1]

thanks rpd for answering my question rather than telling me to search and check this and that.

[jccc]

any other aftermarket alarm that carries remote start?

[nicklulu]

you can use a key tranponder copier specifically for auto alarms. Its copies the code from the key, so you dont need any at all for the alarm. Check Compustar's site, and DEI's. But im gonna tell you, it will be alomost the same price if more for that module.

[g1ovan13]

ANY BODY HERE KNOW WHERE I CAN GET A REMOTE START FOR MY EVO???

[Mr-Evo]

Best buy? Circuit City? or the hole in the wall stereo places!

DO you know anybody who is willing to install the remote starter?I asked around and they dont want to install it. (manual gear)

[Mr-Evo]

I got mine done at a san diego shop.

I got mine done in SD so thats the only person i would know who will do it but it was also my dad's friend so he might have done it cuz its a friend. What you can try is have a bestbuy/circuity city employee come by after their shift and install it for you at your house.

I'll try that.tnx fro the info.

[AaronI1]

Got mine installed in walnut at a shop called Car Audio Craftsmen. They do a pretty good job. Its on Nogales near amar.

[RPD_FKTARD]

ultrastarters.com from ultraflip :D

[silvrEVOIXn818]

I had mine done @ Galaxy AutoSound.Â* They do great work!Â* Had them do 5 systems, 3 alarms and all my tint over the years.Â* I would recommend them highly!Â* They're located in Northridge, on Nordhoff and Reseda.

[nicklulu]

http://www.andrusaudio.com/..... for manual tranny the best one you can get that its design for stick is compustar. they are an authorized dealer.

[silvrEVOIXn818]

I dont know if any of you guys have this as well, but a buddy of mine tripped out cause I dont have to press in the clutch to start. Kinda cool ;)

[AaronI1]

wow, my old thread was revived :laugh:

[silvrEVOIXn818]

lol... my bad! I dont read that far back!

[nicklulu]

^^^ what remote start do you have?



ya he revived it

[silvrEVOIXn818]

aaahhhh I got it many years ago, but if I remember correctly it's a COMMANDO. w/ remote start, windows...etc. this alarm is on my second car now. O0

[nicklulu]

do you have a remote start on your evo?

[AaronI1]

No need to appologize dude, just didnt think it was still there.

[AaronI1]

python 1090 w/remote start

[nicklulu]

do you have any issue that it start by itself once in a while???

[AaronI1]

not at all. works sweet. but one time, i dont know how, but while the engine was on, it tried to restart again so it made that $h!tty starter grind. i was in pain :'(

[silvrEVOIXn818]

NOT ever! Â*Galaxy Autosound is my shop. Â*I have been going thru them since I was 16 and I can only remember having 1 issue w/ my stereo, and he always takes care of nething he does. Â*Never had ne issues w/ any of my alarms. Â*I love this one! Â*Its so much easier to warm up my car while I am still getting ready for work! Â*O0

[nicklulu]

the anti grid should have kicked in not inless if you were stepping on the brakes at the same time you were turning the key. So someone installed it for you on a manul tranny? sweet! I know because of liability issues most of installers wont do it. sweet.

[AaronI1]

Yeah, they did take forever though. they never worked on a lancer or a evo i guess. but at the end, everything turned out sweet. nick, are you looking into a 2 way alarm/remote start?

[nicklulu]

looking, just looking :D

hi,how much did you pay for the remote start.?can you help me pls?

[AaronI1]

I paid an arm and leg for this alarm, but you can find many around 2-3 bills. installation was around a bill. good work

[silvrEVOIXn818]

I paid $450 for everything, windows, etc. but thats w/ love! I might be able to get you a discount as well. My advice... Do your homework. I can look into it if you like. O0

which alarm do you have?

AAron, how long does your battery last? (on the remote)

[AaronI1]

um, i charge it like every 4-5 days just to be safe.Â* lasts around 5 days i guess.Â* i got lazy and didnt charge my alarm remote so i was f'd one time leaving work since i didnt know where the kill switch was.Â* installers hid it sick.Â* took me like 3 minutes to find it. :buck2:Â*

[nicklulu]

lol, what kind of battery does use? it comes with a charger.

[AaronI1]

i dunno, its built in. but it does come with a charger.

[nicklulu]

ok... thanks.... an arm and a leg and i need to charge the romote once a week. but remoted start priceless. O0

[AaronI1]

yeah, the keychain replacement remote is like 2 bills for my alarm. so dont lose or break your shit

[silvrEVOIXn818]

What are you guys talkin about when it comes to charging your remote??? I dont have to charge anything... I just replace the battery, thats it! The battery lasts a good while. 4-6 months, maybe longer!

[nicklulu]

^^^ what alarm system do you have???? he has the python 1090.

[AaronI1]

i have a built in battery in my remote. no replacable batteries O0

[silvrEVOIXn818]

answer on page two, but so you dont have to scroll back...COMMANDO O0

[AaronI1]

the reason why the battery last that long is because the screen to the remote is full color lcd.Â* so there are animations to each command/function. and my alarm is for sure a way newer model than yours so i figure most remotes now are all rechargable like mine.

[silvrEVOIXn818]

oic

[nicklulu]

Ahhh! sorry I didnt know it was on the evo. I thought it was on your first car. sorry

[silvrEVOIXn818]

on its secondÂ* :mitsu: O0Â* but yes it is like 5 years old!Â* And still works like a charm!Â* It has the lcd screen but not in color.
