Hey guys, just wondering if anyone has this remote (it has a button for lock, unlock, and trunk), or if everyone has the same remote i do (no trunk button).

Would this remote even work for us? Have to wire some kind of receiver for the trunk. Any ideas?

here's the link to the remote on ebay:

would be nice but i'm thinkin that unless you have one allready or at least the wireing that it would be useless.since you have to go to a dealership to program the key...you prob have to buy the reciever from them also...and knowing them it's prob a bit pricey.i'll just stick with the little lever next to my seat than have to spend over $100 so i can push a button

 

that looks like its for the galant or something.. not the lancer... hmmmmm...

 

Good point. But this is LANCERFORUMS! We should have the answers to everything... especially how to program our remotes!! DAMNIT!

 

Since there is no solenoid installed in the Lancer how are you gonna pop the trunk?

I recently installed a solenoid, since I hate manual stuff other than car tranny's, and have done many in the past.

Click Here to order a solenoid. Its only $27.95 and worth every penny.

Obviously to trigger it remotely you need to install an alarm or keyless entry system with a spare channel.

If anyone wants to do a remote car start on a manual transmission ask away. Its great in the winter.

Best alarm, remote start in the world. At least I think so...

 

I saw that same remote on there but didnt buy it because i never heard of anyone having a trunk button. I think im going to consider that remote start, but for an auto.

 

I think that's actually the perfect answer. Damn. I wouldn't have explained it nearly that good. Curse you!

 

it definatly is a galant remote i know that fur sure

 

Ahh Hobie

To gain the respect from such a knowledgeable person is extremely honorable.

Thanks, any questions let me know. I have done custom work for a while, engines are new to me but I am catching up.

 

damn dood, that remote start kicks *** i have one too, but it's not that technological. mine:

click the button twice and it starts lol

but yea, it's nice to have in the winter and it's better for the car too.

Is it possible the Galant keyless entry system (with remote trunk release on the FOB) is the same one used in the lancer? If I was , I'd grab off the shelf parts already made for things "out of sight" that don't directly address performance. Sooo, I invested a whole $10 in the Galant fob with remote trunk button, and hoping there is a channel for it's control in the receiving unit. (wishful thinking?) I was hoping to add a solenoid in the trunk and a relay if necessary, but hopefully the controls are there and they can use galant programming instructions.. That's my logic at least, albeit possible hugely Flawed! Any comments? anyone here of this being done to a 'stock' system (I already have remote entry). Thanks:

 

A little confused here... What is a solenoid? That Viper alarms says only automatic trannys. I'm guessing to start a manual it would have to be in neutral in the first place. Just wondering because I'm wanting to install an alarm and the remote start would be nice to have. I don't care to much for the remote trunk, but could be nice to have.

 

you would have to find a way to start the car without stepping on the clutch by removing the switch or whatever it uses. and yes thats a galant remote... i had one for my galant

 

Umm. I think we're talking about two different things here. I'm interested in the power remote "option" I plan on adding to my Lancer... someone interjected with remote starts.. which should be on a new thread. agreed?? This started on remote trunks... remote starts are of an entirely different nature..duh.

 

If people actually read the reply's we wouldn't get here. I think I answered the question as best as I could.

Still wondering what this means
