Remote Start installation question - Trying to understand
I just want to get auto start added to my 2012 Dodge Charger. The dealer is asking for waaay to much for OEM remote start and install so I figure Best buy would be cheaper. I see many products ranging from $199 to $600. I plan to get either the Viper 4205V or the 4115V1B. My question is, I literally just want autostart. I would like to still use my existing FOB to unlock my doors, pop my trunk, etc. Sounds like when an aftermarket is installed "stuff" needs to be bypassed and you end up using the aftermarket lock/unlock, trunk open features rendering your current key fob useless. Is this correct?
1) Can you confirm with he viper units listed above, that I can get autostart installed on my car, and still use my existing key FOBs for all my basic funtion (lock/unlock, truck)?
2) Also does the standard Geek Squad install come with the open hood auto kill feature, I seem to hear the most complaints about installers not installing this safety feature and not telling the buyer they dont install this.
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.
Yes my FOB unlock/locks my door and pops trunk while car is running.
So bottom line is (as far as you know), there should be no reason the viper units I selected should not work with my car. And I shouldn't need any special (expensive) add ons to get things to work properly and my original FOB should work as usual.
I just dont want to get something installed that keeps something else from working properly on my car when from having autostart installed.
Thanks

Still Can't Get Remote Starter Install Scheduled
On 11/24/14 I purchased a ViperRemote Start System4115V1B with installation as a Christmas gift for my mom. After giving the gift on Christmas, I attempted to schedule the install as soon as possible (living in Indiana, it gets awfully brutal during the winter.), but after attempting to schedule an install online I called the store, and was told that because the car installer only works part-time, I needed to call back in 2 weeks or take it to a store an hour away. I really wanted to get it installed as soon as possible, especially since I had already paid for the installation. As of today (1/9/15), I've still been unable to get an appointment scheduled at my local Best Buy, and all the locations in surrounding areas are still not taking appointments either and I'm incredibly frusterated.
Hello sandman8288,
Living in Minnesota, I can totally empathize with you as to why remote starters can be such a blessing in the blistery winter months. They certainly make great gifts too! I am deeply sorry for the delay in receiving your installation.
The reasoning jdogg and autotech have provided you could very well explain why you have been unable to receive an install date up until this point. We typically see quite an influx of remote start installations after the holiday season as it is a popularly purchased item this time of year. To ensure these installs are done correctly, installers must have successfully passed required certifications to perform these installations. As mentioned above, this can sometimes affect scheduling.
I will be sending you a private message to get some more purchase information from you to see if I can assist you in setting up an installation appointment.
We appreciate your business,

BBY - Remote Start - Toyota Highlander question
I'm interested in having a remote start installed on my 2013 Toyota Highlander Limited.
It does have the SMARTKEY. All I need is something that will start it (does not need to be two way). Can someone on here give me a estimate on what it would cost to make this happen?
Thanks for your help in advance!!iowaman great question! being a former iowan myself i couldn't be happy to help you out more because of all the bogus weather that you have been having back there! it has been cooooooold! after doing some research i have found that it isn't as sensitive as touching a door handle, but it will shut down when the door is opened. so no when someone touches the door handle it will still stay on, but once the door is opened then it will shut down and you just start the car like normal, get in push the button. but your car will be nice and toasty. so basically by the time that you sit down it would be like you always do when starting your car, but the car will already be warm is the only difference. also all doors have to be closed for the remote start to take over. I hope this helps clarify your situation! best of luck and if you would let me know the city you are in i could give some great installers that i would recommend to work on even my car! you have a great batch to choose from out there!

Does anyone make a remote start with a learning remote, or have remotes that have factory codes built in? I want to buy one for my 1998 Ford Escort wagon, and I figured if someone made one it would be a lot less wiring involved if the remote could learn the codes for the door lock/unlock, and trunk release. I understand that most units have these features but you have to wire the "brain" into the wiring harness for this to work. I'll be working outside on this, this car is a "beater", and I really don't want to take the time to wire those functions in if I can use the factory hardware and use a remote with the factory codes in it.
Thanks,
SnydeHi snydley100,
I like the idea but I don't see anything like that that we currently carry. I'm hoping some of our Super Users that a more versed in Remote Starts will offer their thoughts. I will also check around to see if anyone's familiar with this. You might also want to stop in and talk to the install bay techs. They might have some ideas on this as well.
Thank you,

I had a 5706v installed about a year ago in my Excursion. About a month ago it quit locking the doors but doing everything else. Apparently the BB that installed in no longer has qualified techs so I now have to drive about another 30 mins to a different store. They mentioned they were incredibly busy and the store that did the work originally was 'questionable' (their words, not mine).
So I set an appointment a week out and they resolve the locking issue. However, now the remote start doesn't work at all and just gives me an error. At somepoint it is not only inconvienent but it's costing me money to drive my truck out there and leave it for hours and find a ride home and back.
What is the policy, is there X tries BB has before giving up? If a technician is unable to perform the work properly, can it be outsouced to a installer that can do the work?Remote starts are key for cold winters, and hot summer days, but to be without keyless entry also, well that is definately inconvinent! The Best Buy that did the original installation, may not have the techs that are qualified to look at the remote start to properly diagnose the problem, but the other "busy" Best Buy should be able to assist you in this matter. To be qualified troubleshoot isn't necessarily a qualification, it is more of a necessity to do this job. I personally haven't had a shop that wasn't qualified to work on a troubleshoot especially for a remote start, but im sure there are some out there, and unfortunately you found it. With that said, I am terribly sorry that you will have to make the trip up to that other busy store to get this worked on. Have you tried replacing the batteries in the remote to eliminate a battery issue. Just odd that the remote start worked fine for a year and then went out. Batteries are usually the culprit, and alot of times cause intermittent issues with the functionality of the remote start or keyless entry.
If you have the viper 5706 your lcd screen will indicate that you are running low on battery if you look at your screen, but there is also a failsafe built in that will send a second "chirp" through your systems siren. so you will lock the car, hear your first chirp, shortly after there will be another chirp that will occur, and send a message to your remote. This indicates that the battery is low and needs to be charged with the supplied micro usb cable that came with the unit.
Part of our lifetime warranty means you can take this to any Best Buy in the country to have to work performed. The fact that the original shop doesn't have anyone qualified, is unfortunate, and the trip that you have to make because of this is also ashame. I do apologize that you are having these problems, but if you hop on the schedule at the other store, im sure they will be able to assist you and get your remote start and keyless working again. The good thing about remote starts is that if you are going to have a serious problem outside replacing an antenna, antenna cable, or batteries, there would be immediate malfunctions with the system. Should be something small, is what im trying to tell you, but again without diagnosing it properly who knows?!
Again, i apologize for the troubles that this has caused, and if you have any follow up questions please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks for posting with the community, and also thank you for your time and patience.

Trying to understand Android OS updates delays
This is not another hate mail, it´s more about trying to understand the facts and motives regarding the OS updates (or lack of).
Hopefully this material will arrive at someone from Sony with enough power to do something about it.
Ever since I can remember, Sony has been THE brand for electronics. I can´t remember a TV or VCR in my house that it wasn´t Sony, and they lasted for LOTS of years.
When a couple years ago I finally had the money (and the need) for a Smartphone, i chose the X10 Mini, which is a great little phone from a great brand, but it´s stuck at Android 2.1... which makes it a crippled android nowadays...
It really bothered me the lack of OS updates, so I chose to buy a Galaxy Nexus, but it´s really expensive in my country. So my second option was a Galaxy Ace 2, but they haven´t arrived to my country yet, so I went with my third option: Xperia Sola, knowing beforehand that it´s a great phone, a great brand, but I might get slow OS updates.
I bought it about 10 days ago when I saw they were starting to roll out the updates.
10 days later I still don´t have my update. And not only that, but I don´t see much light at the end of the tunnel...
I found a thread with the SI numbers that were updated, and there were a bunch on Oct 1, another bunch on Oct 4, and one code on Oct 8, and no other update since...
I also read that those who did get the update, were having bugs with the OS, and also found threads from other Xperia models, whose updates began rolling 3 months ago, and there is still people who hasn´t gotten the update...
As a customer, and a owner/CEO of a small company, I have a really hard time understanding how a HUGE company like Sony can be making such mistakes...
I have been thinking objective reasons, and I can only think of one. I know it´s a wild guess, but I´m starting to think that our salvation might be the very thing that means our condemnation: CYANOGENMOD!!!
Think about it: Why would Sony spend more money hiring twice as much programmers, when they can make only one update per phone, and sit down and see how CM releases begin to appear, for all tastes and needs. And... IT´s FREE!!!
Also, if there is a software related problem (way more likely than a hardware problem), then the CM developers take the fall, instead of Sony. And I´m beginning to see custom OS installers that are more user friendly, so it might be something that they take in accout when neglecting OS updates.
If that´s the line Sony is following, it´s a very risky move and it won´t work. Sony Mobile will crash and burn, but it´s still a better business plan that "let´s get lazy and make ULTRA slow updates so we don´t spend a lot of money programming".
If you can´t afford more programmers, stop including so much bells and whistles and make your OS near vanilla. Include a couple of Xperia menus, a custom theme and voila!
The main reason I wanted the Galaxy Nexus is Vanilla OS, which means inmediate OS updates. Sony on the other hand, takes a year or two to release it after its launch. If they release it at all...
Another though... why not stop making that many different phones! Really! There are like 5 Xperia models i can´t tell one from the other... even with specs side by side!
You are trying to make too many phones and you are failing with all of them! (Software and software updates are also part of the phone, one of the most importants...)
I know hiring programmers is expensive, but you are sacrificing one of the most expensive values for a company EVER: Customer credibility! Which as you know better than me, takes years to create.
If Apple had problems with carriers and code aprooving and stuff, they might get away with it, becouse they alone have all the devices. If iOS 6 is delayed a few months, it´s delayed for everyone, and besides Apple fanboys rarely complain about Mac products, but Android is a more independent and educated market.
I´m not saying that Apple users are ignorant, not at all, but I´m pretty sure most iPhone owners don´t even know what processor or how much RAM their phone has. They just "swallow" the Apple Way of Life. (it´s a good phone becouse Apple says so).
The Android user on the other side, because of the fragmentation of the market, has many brands and models to choose from. An Android user about to buy a new phone will most likely go online looking for different models, specs, reviews in webs and forums...etc.
You can´t say "I don´t know how HTC and other companies get their updates so soon, but we take a lot more becouse Google and the Operators must aproove the code.", because there are many other brands that have exactly the same difficulties or more, since they are smaller, and we can SEE online that they are indeed delivering solid and relativly fast updates.
Did we miss something? Does HTC use Witchcraft to get their code aprooved?
My underlying point is this: You are getting lazy... VERY lazy with software programming for your phones, and WE KNOW IT!
It´s not the "difficulties" you claim, becouse every brand has those difficulties.
This isn´t 1999 you know. We are in the information age. If you lie to us and tell us that your phones have the latest OS, I can go online and see that you don´t (Hello!!!). If I see that the company lies to it´s customers, I will stop buying their products. If I´m so dissapointed with how Sony handles OS updates and their customers queries about it, then I want for the first time ever to sell my Cell Phone becouse I´m not happy with it, or the brand behind it.
We also live in the "Here and now" age. You can´t expect your customers to read about new Android releases on news and blogs, and wait YEARS with arms crossed waiting for their update... The world doesn´t work like that. Not anymore at least...
It´s not a matter of how many recources you have, it´s about how you use and balance them. GIVE MORE IMPORTANCE TO SOFTWARE UPDATES! IT´S WAY MORE IMPORTANT THAT YOU THINK! LISTEN TO YOUR CUSTOMERS!!!
You guys are Sony are smart and design great products, but you are not GOD! You are not our wife, no one has sworn alliagence to you.
If you stop giving us good products and start lying to us, we hate you and stop giving you our money. Simple as that.
My sola is beatiful, I love the design, the screen, the hardware... but it hasn´t been updated yet to 4.0, not to mention 4.1, which REALLY is the latest version... so stop advertising that your phones have the latest Android OS, unless you want angry customers switching to other companies, which you are getting.
I also read some stories that Androind 4.0 was announced for the Xperia PLAY, and then it was called off... Do you have any idea how pissed I would be and ripped off I would be if I bought my phone based in that information and then you say it won´t be available?
Well, actually right now my possition is worse, since you SAY you will update my phone, but you don´t say when, and I read online about people still not getting their updates months after the rollout started, so I´m in the limbo right now...
As a company, one of the worse things you can do is calling your customers stupid, and when I see the answers you give in this forum, then I feel insulted. I feel like they are talking to an idiot or ignorant person with the so called "diplomatic" answers, which are basicly empty excuses for not doing your job right.
You gave us the frikking CDs, DVDs and Blu-Rays!!! Don´t tell us you can´t tweak an already built OS in a year!
I really hope you change their OS update policies really soon, before you lose the already small cellphone market share you have, or at least change your P.R. and C.M. policies towards a more open one.
We all are humans and make mistakes, but we customers really appreciate honesty and truth.
Have an open conversation with your customers! Don´t lie about your shortcomings! Accept then and ask the community to help you solve them, ask them what they biggest problems are, what features are most important to them, how often do they expect updates... LISTEN TO THEM!!
"Succes is a meneace. It tricks smart people into thinking they can´t lose."
Ps: Nothing personal with the mods from this forum, I´m not killing the messenger, I know that you can ONLY give the info you are allowed to give, and even if you wanted, you probably don´t know the answers yourself, since you work in the Communications department, not Developement or anything technical, and if you can't give any given info, then they probably won´t give it to you either... My message is to the company as a whole. I just hope you will be a good messenger and give this to whoever needs to read it.My bad, it´s closer to 40 the number of phones released hehe
I know it´s all about money, and I know Sony is obligated to neglect users who haven´t given them money after an x ammount of time. However, it´s not a matter of making the phones obsolete earlier, so the users want to buy a new phone faster and therefore getting more money.
A person will buy a new phone when he/she has the money to do so and wants to do so.
It´s not a matter of WHEN. It´s a matter of WHAT.
The question is not "When will that user buy a new phone?", but rather "When that user buys a new phone, whenever that is, what phone will it be?"
I have a love/hate relationship with Apple. I would never use a iPhone. I would love having any Mac, if someone gives it to me, but I would never spend my harn earned dollars on such an overpriced piece of hardware over general principals.
However, i do recognice that Steve Jobs was a business genius. Weather you like or love his ideas and methods, he turned a garage project into the biggest company in the world, with a market value higher than Exxon with 1/3 of it´s assets.
Apple is a money making machine, and that is where the "hate" part of my relationship comes from.
However, it surprised me a lot to see that they released iOS 6 for the iPhone 3GS, released in 2008!
That get´s you thinking, that inside all that "SELL NOW" culture Apple is, they also support their older devices that people bought years ago but can't buy a new phone now. However, when they can do it, it will surely be another iPhone. Because they FEEL that the company listens and cares for them.
Also if you jump from iOS 6 on the 3 GS to a brand new iPhone 5, the transition will be virtually non-existant, except for Siri and a couple of features.
However jumping from Android 1.5 or 2.1 to Jelly Bean, might not be so easy on some users, making them more likely to give iPhone a shot.
Since they have to adapt to another phone anyway, they might as well try the apple...
And for old users, it gives people a sense of continuity and care about the user. Otherwise we feel like being kicked out of a restaurant right after we payed the bill. -
Trying to understand and learn how to use btrfs
I have been the past days trying to get my head around how btrfs works
I have been trying tools like mkinitcpio-btrfs (very poorly documented) and now, if i list the subvolumes i have in certain volume (/) i see i have 4 subvolumes that have been created while playing around.
If i try to delete them with "sudo btrfs subvolume delete __active", for example, I get a "ERROR: Error accessing '__active'
What am I doing wrong?
Also, I cannot get the whole idea about the difference between snapshots and subvolumes, i mean, a snapshot should be a directory that saves the changes made on the fs, s, if you want to roll back those changes, you just have to make btrfs "forget" the changes stored in that directory and move along, but I cannot take the idea of the subvolume thing.....
As btrfs is quite experimental and the wikis are not noob-proof still, I'd appreciate if someone gave me a hand trying to understand these concept...
For the moment, I'm just using it on a test computer and on a personal laptop with no fear of data loss,.
Any help is welcome
Thanks!
Last edited by jasonwryan (2013-07-19 23:13:27)I honestly think it is probably a better idea to not use mkinitpcio-btrfs. As mentioned above, it is poorly documented, and for me it has never worked right (if at all). It is an unofficial AUR package, and unfortunately our wiki still seems to give the false impression that using this package is the way to user btrfs with Arch.
The way I have my system set up is that in subvolid=0 (the root of the btrfs filesystem) I have a rootfs subvolume and a home subvolume (there are others, but these are what primarily make up my system). So in my fstab, I basically have two nearly identical lines, but one has no subvol specified and is mounted at /, and the other has 'subvol=home' mounted at /home.
So in order to make it so that I can change the root filesystem as I please, instead of having the / fstab entry specify the subvolume, I put it in the kernel command line. That is, I have 'rootflags=subvol=rootfs' in the kernel command line. So if I want to change it, I simply change the path to one of the snapshots.
Just remember that if you are one who likes a custom kernel, it is likely that you will have to have an initamfs no matter what you compile into your kernel. For one thing, the kernel has no mechanism for scanning for multiple device btrfs filesystems. But also, I have read that the kernel itself cannot handle the rootflags kernel command line argument.
Oracle Linux does something interesting with their default setup. They are not a rolling release, so this probably wouldn't work so well in Arch Linux, but they actually install the root filesystem (I think it is actually done to subvolid=0) and then after installation of the packages, a snapshot of the root filesystem is made, and the system is setup to boot off of that snapshot. So it is almost like having an overlayfs on openwrt. There is always a copy of the original system, and and changes that are being made are being done "on top" of the original. So in the event of an emergency, yo can always get back to the original working state.
If you put your root filesystem on something other than the root of the btrfs filesystem (which you should, as it makes the whole setup much more flexible), then you should also set up a mountpoint somewhere to give administrator access to the filesystem from subvolid=0. For example, I have an autofs mountpoint at /var/lib/btrfs-root. chose that spot because /var/lib is where devtools puts the clean chroot. So it seemed as reasonable a place as any.
You should go to the btrfs wiki, and peruse through the stuff there... not our wiki, but the actual btrfs one, as our wiki is pretty sparse. There is not all that much content there (not like the Arch wiki), but it does cover the features pretty well. I mean, there is certainly quite a lot for being information on only a single filesystem, but it shouldn't take you too long to get through it. There are a few links to articles about midway down the front page. What really gave me a better grasp of getting started with btrfs were the ones titled "How I Got Started with the Btrfs Filesystem for Oracle Linux" and "How I Use the Advanced Capabilities of Btrfs". -
Hi all,
I'm using three AirPort Extremes to form a WDS. For the sake of brevity, I'll abbreviate their function and MAC addresses as:
Main14
Relay07
Remote2C
All three airports are run in Bridge mode.
Main14 is at the north end of my home. It is connected by ethernet cable to my DLink router. Main14 is set up as the WDS Main and it has been told that there are two remotes, Relay07 and Remote2C.
Relay07 is at the south end of my home. It has been told that the main WDS is Main14 and that there is one remote, Remote2C.
Remote 2C is in an outbuilding south of my home. It has been told that the WDS main is Main14.
I'm puzzled by two things:
1) If I pick up my MacBook, fire up Airport Utility and open three config windows, one for each Airport, and click the wireless client option so I can see what clients are being served by each Airport, and beginning at the north end of my home, I start walking south. When I'm next to the main WDS, I see that Main14 is serving the MacBook at a 54 rate. As I walk away from the main toward the relay (and even further south, the remote), the rate drops. I walk past the relay and the rate to the main keeps dropping. I get out to the outbuilding and I see the MacBook transfer from the main to the remote, Remote2C, and the rate goes back up to 54. The MacBook never transfers to the relay. Why not?
2) Going back to Airport Utility, and again with windows open for each Airport and looking at wireless clients, I can see the three Airports talking to each other. As a typical example,
Main14 sees client Relay07 at rate 11 and also sees client Remote2C at rate 1.
Relay07 sees client Main14 at rate 54 and also sees client Remote2C at rate -1.
Remote2C sees client Main14 at rate 18, but does not see Relay07 at all.
I don't understand two things here. Why doesn't Remote2C see Relay07 as a client? The relay is much closer to the remote than it is to the main. Second, how are any two units talking to EACH OTHER at different rates? If Main14 is talking to Relay07 at 11, shouldn't Relay07 be talking to Main14 at the same rate? But it isn't; Relay07 is talking to Main14 at 54. This doesn't make sense to me.
The practical reason I'm asking this, beyond simply trying to understand how the WDS works, is that my wireless connection in the outbuilding is very erratic. One moment I've got a full strength connection, the next I'm utterly disconnected. So I'm guessing that something isn't quite right here. But I don't know what, and I don't really understand how the system is working, so troubleshooting is a bit of a challenge.
Thanks for any help!
-brianHi Brian,
I'm having exactly the same problem, with the slight difference that I'm living in a flat and that the distance between WDS main and WDS relay is 4 meters (with direct line of sight) and the distance between WDS relay and WDS remote is 5 meters... My flat is built around an 'L' shaped corridor with main, relay and remote being each at one point of the 'L'.
Tried also to scan for used channels and took one of the free ones.
Can anybody help?
Thanks,

Viper remote start on 2014 Jeep JK
Will any of these two viper remote starts work with a 2014 automatic Jeep wrangler unlimited with manual doors and no alarm?Will I be able to install a viper invisibeam after the remote start is installed?
1. Viper 4115V1D Remote Start System with Interface Module and Geek Squad® Installation
SKU: 9999221100050000
2Viper - Remote Start System
Model: 4115V1B
SKU: 1625747
thanks.yes, as far as wranglers go that are automatic you will be able to have this installed in your vehicle, you will need a few other parts with that purchase. that kit that you are going to purchase, will have the bypass module that you will need to simulate a chip in the key, and do some other features if it is able to. that kit will also come with the installation of the module (the dball2) and also the basic installation of the remote starter. again this is just a basic remote start with 1500ft of range, and 1 remote. a hood pin will also be necessary, but is only 9.99. The last thing is that you will need to purchase a 10AWG amp kit also since there isn't a strong enough power source in your vehicle, so we will have to grab power from the battery to power the brain of the remote start. you will also need a 12.99 relay for your vehicle.
this one's grand total for the 4115v1d is $312.96 before tax.
the second remote starter does not come with the bypass module or the installation of the bypass module, so it will be a little more expensive. it will still need the hood pin and the 34.99 10AWG amp kit, and the 12.99 relay. with a grand total of 342.94. personally if i were in your shoes i would just go with the first one because it has everything you need and is the exact same product but without the bypass module included and installation of that module. also contact your local bby to get an exact quote, i know some shops don't use hood pins that we carry and use the one out of the box, so contact them and get a grand total. thanks for asking the question and sorry it took so long to get back to you. best of luck!

Remote start compatible with manual transmission?
Hello,
I was directed here by Marti from your FB page. I would like to know if your remote start
(CompuStar Remote Start, Universal Bypass System & Geek Squad® Installation - SKU: 9999189600050003)
would work with my 2012 Mazda 3 S Touring 6-speed manual transmission. If so, are there safety precautions like an e-brake sensor or clutch override that will be put in place so my car won't drive away if I remote start it in gear?
Thank you in advance,
Michaelcall your local shop compustart the ones that we carry in store will be compatible, the one that you are trying to show me woudln't pull up so i cant give you a 100 percent answer. call your shop make sure they know what precautions they would need for a manual transmission, and see if they are a compustart store. start by calling your local best buy installation bay. good luck

Keyless Entry/Remote Start for 2012 Highlander
I have a 2012 Toyota Highlander wtih JBL audio, navigation, and keyless ignition. I would like to add remote start and be able to use the new fob for keyless entry, lock/unlock, and open/close the rear hatch. Is that possible without having to carry the OEM fob too?
well you have a couple of different options for sure. if you are looking at just getting a basic remote start/keyless entry, then you will not have to carry around your other key fob with it, because our remote start key fob will be able to do all the features your old one will, with lock, unlock, remote start, and trunk hatch pop. now the thing that i would be a little iffy about hooking up for you is the trunk release. does your back hatch open up all the way and close all the way when pressed again? the reason why i ask that is because alot of the back hatches on toyotas just pop that back glass and if you were to accidently hit that button and you cannot tell that it is open (like most toyotas with teh back hatch glass) then you are leaving your vehicle not only not secured but also opens yourself up to all the elements that your climate will bring in the place you live. i usually only will hook those up if the customer is really really wanting that, but i always let them know about that risk, but if your hatch opens and closes and you can physically see that it is open or closed then by all means hook it up!
so below you will have a break down of the different remote start systems, i wish i was able to give it in a little better of a format, but this is the best that i can do!
Materials charge: $5.00
Viper 4105VB: $199.99
hood tilt switch: $ 9.99
Relay: $12.99
FLCAN/DBALL: $99.99
Module install: $39.99
Trunk release: $39.99
TOTAL: $407.94 BEFORE TAX
what this sytem above will offer you is a remote start keyless entry with trunk release. the range will be 1500 feet, with a 1 way communication. when you click the button you will have to see your vehicle and look to see if the parking lights are running, if they are on then you will know that it is running. the hood tilt switch is a safety for mechanics, and yourself if you are ever working under the hood so that no one can start the car while you are working, or if you disconnect the battery, it will not try to start upon re connecting the battery. the additional relay is for your vehicle since it has 2 starter wires, and our remote start only has 1 output. the FLCAN/DBALL will simulate the chip in your key so that it will allow the vehicle to start remotely,expensive i know but necessary. the module installation is for the installation of the FLCAN/DBALL, and the trunk release labor is for, well trunk release haha!
you do have other options but this is the first one that will get you everything that you are looking for. if you want a little bit more range, and 2 way communication add on $100 dollars making $507.94 for 1 mile range, and 2 way communication! with the 2 way you are able to hear a confirmation on your keyfob letting you know through beeps and a melody that it is locked, unlocked, or remote started, or if you hit the trunk release button. at the end of your installation you will get a demonstration of how to use your remote start better than we do. again if you have any other questions feel free to let me know! hope this helps you out a little!

Hello, World - trying to understand the steps
Hello, Experts!
I am pretty new to Flash Development, so I am trying to understand how to implement the following steps using Flash environment
http://pdfdevjunkie.host.adobe.com/00_helloWorld.shtml
Step 1: Create the top level object. Use a "Module" rather than an "Application" and implement the "acrobat.collection.INavigator" interface. The INavigator interface enables the initial hand shake with the Acrobat ActionScript API. Its only member is the set host function, which your application implements. During the initialize cycle, the Acrobat ActionScript API invokes your set host function. Your set host function then initializes itself, can add event listeners, and performs other setup tasks.Your code might look something like this.
<mx:Module xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" implements="acrobat.collection.INavigator" height="100%" width="100%" horizontalScrollPolicy="off" verticalScrollPolicy="off" >
Step 2: Create your user interface elements. In this example, I'm using a "DataGrid" which is overkill for a simple list but I'm going to expand on this example in the future. Also notice that I'm using "fileName" in the dataField. The "fileName" is a property of an item in the PDF Portfolio "items" collection. Later when we set the dataProvider of the DataGrid, the grid will fill with the fileNames of the files in the Portfolio.
<mx:DataGrid id="itemList" initialize="onInitialize()" width="350" rowCount="12"> <mx:columns> <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="fileName" headerText="Name"/> </mx:columns> </mx:DataGrid>
Step 3: Respond to the "initialize" event during the creation of your interface components. This is important because there is no coordination of the Flash Player's initialization of your UI components and the set host(), so these two important milestone events in your Navigator's startup phase could occur in either order. The gist of a good way to handler this race condition is to have both your INavigator.set host() implementation and your initialize() or creationComplete() handler both funnel into a common function that starts interacting with the collection only after you have a non-null host and an initialized UI. You'll see in the code samples below and in step 4, both events funnel into the "startEverything()" function. I'll duscuss that function in the 5th step.
private function onInitialize():void { _listInitialized = true; startEverything(); }Hello, Experts!

Trying to understand OIM - Please help
Hello All,
I am pretty new to OIM, just trying to understand how OIM works. For the past 4 years I was in Sun IdM and planning to switch over to OIM.
I read some documentation, I think OIM will perform basic provisioning and it contains out of box connectors to do basic provisoning. I have some questions can anybody please help
- Sun IdM uses Express language to develop custom workflows or forms, in OIM to develop workflows which language did you use, is it Java or any other language?
- If I want to provision users on AS/400, HP Open VMS or AIX systems, how can I do that I don't see any out of box connectors for these resources, so in order to integrate these resources do we need to write our own custom connectors?
- If the out of box connector does not support a specific function on a resource what are the options do we have? for example if the AD connector does not support to delete the exchange mailbox, how your going to perform this in OIM? Do we need to write a Java code for this?
- How much Java coding is necessary in OIM?
- Is OIM supports role based provisioning?
Please share any information.
Thanks in advance.Sun IdM uses Express language to develop custom workflows or forms, in OIM to develop workflows which language did you use, is it Java or any other language?
- JAVA
If I want to provision users on AS/400, HP Open VMS or AIX systems, how can I do that I don't see any out of box connectors for these resources, so in order to integrate these resources do we need to write our own custom connectors?
- If OOTB connectors are not available then you'll have build you own connector as per Target Resource.
If the out of box connector does not support a specific function on a resource what are the options do we have?
- You'll have customize their connector as per your requirements or write your own
How much Java coding is necessary in OIM?
- We can't calculate how much java. It's totally depends on requirements how much code you'll ahve to write. But everything will be done using Java only.
- Is OIM supports role based provisioning?
Here Group represent Role. At a small scale it supports. But for large scale you'll have to use Oracle Role Manager as you do in Sun Role Manager. -
Trying to understand, being prompted the file compression rules on saving, or not
Hello,
I'm trying to understand something, could I ask for your help, please ?
After working on a jpg file, when I want to save it, still as jpg, with my Photoshop CS5,
- sometimes photoshop will just save the picture, and it's done
- sometimes photoshop will show me the compression dialog, "JPEG Options", in which I can choose the compression ratio, the format options (baseline, baseline optimized, progressive), and have an estimation of the total file size
While not being prompted any dialog is simpler, and I'll then simply assume Photoshop decides to retain the current image's compression and format rules, I must say I like to be in control, and I'd like to know under what form the file is being saved without having to resort to the much more complex "Save For Web" menu.
Please, would you know WHAT "triggers" the appearance of the JPEG Options when we close/save a jpeg file, in photoshop ? What makes this menu not to appear, what makes it appear ?
If there are trivial file operations/changes/filters that necessarily trigger its appearance when we want to save, something like that ? I've tried a variety of these, but I still can't figure it out, sometimes it shows in the end, and sometimes it doesn't.
Thank you very much if you can help me
Kind regards,
Oliver@ c.pfaffenbichler
These are images from various sources, not just one.
I'm deliberately excluding Save For Web, this completely re-processes everything.
My purpose, precisely, is to know when photoshop takes the decision to retain the image's "rules", and when photoshop decides to pose us the question, how do we want it saved.
Simply taking a jpeg image, doing stuff on it, and hitting control-w to close the window, and seeing if it will be an
- «OK, sure, do you want to save ? You clicked OK to confirm you wanted the changes saved ? Good, now it's closed» or a
- «please sir, how would you like your image saved, tell me the compression ratio and the format options, thank you» -
UTL_HTTP.end_of_body Exception Error. Trying to Understand the Reason Why?
I have the following PLSQL Function that returns a End_of_body Error. This started when we migrated from 10g to 11g. It is simple enough to capture so the error does not stop the Function Flow, but the error causes the OCI driver in OBIEE to error, which prevents the use of OBIEE IBOT to execute. Trying to understand why this error is occurring..not sure if we have a permissions issue on the UTL_HTTP Package or what?
Anyone seen this problem in 11g? Suggests on resolving would be great. Thanks.
