Anyway, the only thing I didn't have them install was that keypad because i figured i'd forget the code, and I wanted him to rig the system up so I could open and close my back window w/ the remote, because it never works w/ the key on the outside, but he said its possible, but he wouldnt recommend it

 

Hmmmm... he didn't happen to mention why he recomended you to not hook up the back window did he? And just incase you didn't know, you have to wait a good second or two with the key turned before it starts to roll (unlock dn, lock up). I love my remote start too. A friend of mine has the system as rufus in her eclipse and hasn't had any problems. I went ahead and sprung for the Viper/Clifford and had some problems with the remote at first, but everything was fixed under warrenty and I . My system is suppose to work for 1/4 mi. Haven't acutally checked if it works, but It works at all my school buildings and my truck is parked right by my window at home so I'm not worried about it here. Ive had good luck with false alarms with it too. Come to think of it, I don't think I've had one yet. Clifford actually just came out with a SWEET GPS based system. I'm sure its a pretty penny and there is a monthly charge like OnStar, but check it out on their site. Its awesome, and after the technology has been around it will come down in price. I don't know about that company but one thing I like about clifford is their accessories. You can do pretty much anything you can think of...

 

hey cebby i looked under the dash but couldnt find any sort of antenna. Maybe im looking for the wrong thing or maybe its just not there.

 

Look inside the door on the interior fuse box. Thats where they mounted mine. There should be a valet switch around somewhere too.

 

turboale, the guy that installed it said it would be a bad idea because the way the'd have to do it is i'd have to hold down the button until I wanted the window to stop, and if the button were to be pushed in my pocket or something it would keep grinding on the motor

 

but yeah, that would be awesome because I've only been able to work the window from the outside like once, but the switch on the inside works fine

 

Yeah, that stinks...

The clifford window roll down modules turn a pulse into a set time for the window to roll down and up. So when installed not only does the remote have a one touch up/down the stock button has the auto up/down feature too. The same goes for the regular windows. I don't think i'm going to be getting those ever, but wouldn't mind it for the sunroof and rear window. Not to high on the things to spend money on my car list, but ive got a good hook up so maybe.

 

how much does something like that module run? I might be interested...

 

what is this so called valet swith. I have found this switch that says on on , on both sides of it but cant figure out what it does. Do these antennas just look like normal antennas or are they different looking.

 

fooddude:

You're going to be looking for a wire that doesn't connect to anything. Probably very thin too.

 

i found the valet switch but what does it do.

 

bump.
anyone, i really need some help.

 

Which what who are you looking for help with?

Usually the valet switch will do something to the effect of disabling the alarm. This makes it easy for you to let a valet park the vehicle and not have to explain to him/her how to work the alarm. Make sure you flip it back to the "normal" position once you get it back from the lot.

If you're still confused about the antenna, then maybe start with tracing the wiring from the valet switch - it has to plug into something - and that's usually the alarm controller. Once you find the controller (the "factory" location is often under the driver's seat) then you should be able to find a wire that dead-ends in a small box-like object. That box will usually be one of two things - either the shock/glass breakage sensor or the antenna. The shock sensor will usually identify itself by having some sort of an adjustment on it, it'll look like a screw head. The antenna will usually have a small "nub" sticking out of it depending on the frequency of the signal that it responds to.


Hope that helps.
