 I just installed over the weekend a Compustar Maxit kit for my car. I have the Pro T13 remote with proximity unlock to go with it. This alarm/remote start system will allow you to remote start a manual transmission car. It has the FT-DAS-II sensor which detects forward motion and will shutdown the car immediately if you forgot to leave it in neutral. The Pro T13 remote also comes with a Dron...

 I had a replacement key made for my car at a dealer or a while ago. I highly recommend doing that by the way, not to have keys to drive with, but to have a key to make good copies of.  While I was there, I asked about a replacement remote control, in case I lost or broke mine. They told me, it would be around $300, but it was no longer available. Basically, if my remote broke or was lo...

 InstallGear Car Alarm Security & Keyless Entry System, Trunk Pop with Two 4-Button Remotes  Full disclosure, I really don't care about the siren function or most of the features. All I need really is the keyless entry due to the driver side key tumbler never worked with the only key that it came with. I pretty much followed audiophyles guide for the wiring (which was a fuse saver). &n...

 Well after a good wheeling trip a couple weeks ago I felt that my old battery was on its last leg. So I decided go dual like theksmith but keep mine up front. He liked my spare tire well mod so I figure I'd copy his dual battery mod.  Started with 2 group 34/78 Diehard Platinum. 850 CCA, 135 Minutes of reserve capacity, AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) construction, 4 year free replacement a...

 Since the Prius is our gas-guzzling secondary car - it stays parked for weeks at a time. In a normal month is might be driven twice, and in some months it stays parked all four weeks. I have been concerned about the tiny Aux battery keeping up with the parasitic drain of staying parked. The original Aux battery has served me reasonably well, though when I have left ONE light on (my cargo LED...

 I just finished installing a set of paranoid fabrications grounding wires which I got for Christmas. The car seems to run smoother, I'm quite pleased with the results so far. I will post up some pictures as soon as attachments are allowed again.  The problem: Weird clicking noise inside car upon start up. Go outside and see that the front blinkers and rear brake lights are lighting up...
