my lancer is an automatic es, didnt know you guys had a manual. if you still need the diagram it might help, not sure.

 

I have the same AST system you have JOKa on my 5 speed I knew I will not be able to do it right, so I had my friend install it. He said it was a ***** and a half to install. I paid him some cash for it. Took him about 4 hrs per day for 3 days. Too many precaustions though since its a 5 speed. You have to remember certain steps before turning off your car or it won't remote start. Other than that, it

 

umm link did it to my car, in 2 hours.. and that was with a retarded error from previous setup.

 

I think if I did my remote start in the warm, it would have taken me about 5 hours to do... but because it was cold, etc... It took longer (1-2 hours a day for a week)...

Yes, you have to remember to set the park break, leave the car out of gear, and touch the brake before you get out... it takes some getting used to, but it works for me. It takes about 3 20 degree days to fully appreciate it.

 

LoL...I guess I forgot to mention that the temp was in the teens (maybe dipping down to sub-zero) when my boy was installing it. I dunno... ...I just don't trust myself with wires, so I trusted my boy wit it.

Even with a warm temps in so cal though...2 hours for installing a remote start/alarm system on a 5 speed??? Like I said, I dunno much about installing alarms, so I guess link's just fast like dat...

 

links got mad skill... my bad didn't realize about cold tempertures outside, never really lived anywhere cold.

 

Guys..... I have installed these many times, professionally at a car audio shop. I did my Lancer two months ago.

Please, please listen to me on this one. YOU MUST install a safety switch around the shifter. A 30 cent spring and a piece of coathanger will save you, your car, and a bad mistake if you ever start in gear.

Everyone says "well I never" or "I am the only one who uses my car" but if you ever take it into service, valet........

Everyone makes mistakes, we are human. In my garage I was wondering "why the hell is it not starting" when I was testing the install. If I did not have the safety switch I would have severely hurt my dad and probably the garage door and my car...... since I FORGOT I left it in gear.

Please do not take this as a joke, you can be sued let alone hurt someone if you start that car in gear...

 

do any of you guys who have done this with link thnk you could get together a how to. that would be sweet. if not i'll just try to get a hold of link myself, but help would be apreciated.

 

I would, but I wasn't the one that installed mine. I could ask my boy, but he usually don't do **** unless you pay him... bastard

 

For Jon e blaze and others.....

Remote Start Wiring

 

yannotmi, thanks. i'm going to be doing this to my 5spd but don't want to get in over my head.

 

I'll start working on a how to once classes begin settling down.

 

sounds great rhitme03. can't wait for that. will the how to be for a auto or 5spd?

 

nevermind that last question. i read your sig. i'm such a dumbass.

 

I have a manual tranny also, just install a safety switch and you will be ok!
