    Keyless Start?

    I have a Auto. So i was wondering if it would be hard to install a keyless start on my car. I want it so i can charge up my batt when i run the stero and ps2 with the car off. And so i can get the A/C heater working before i leave the house..

    Remote start?
    I don't see what the problem is... If your car was standard, then you would always make sure you leave it in neutral, but auto shouldn't make it any harder to install (unless you leave your car in drive).

        remote start usually hooks into the ignition key circuit. When you push the button it makes the car think they key is in and turned to on, then to start for a sec or two. If you have a manual it means you have to be in neutral to start. With an automatic it will start when the car is in park. I can't remember if there is a switch to make sure the brake is pushed or not, if there is then it gets hooked in too. It's not too dificult of an install if you don't mind messing with wires.

              also a good 'anti-lean' tool, for those of you with lazy friends.

                You have a PS2 in that thing?

                And if you are in the car running your bling ass PS2 and kicking stereo, why can't you just flip the key to start the car and run the alternator?

                  So your running the stereo and ps2 with the car off and keys in ignition? and i assume your in the car when your using the stereo and ps2. So why dont you just turn the key and start your car when you need to charge the battery? Unless your outside your car when you play that shit. None the less walk 5 feet and start your car.

                    one my PS2 and Screen runs right to the batt. So it runs when the car is off. Two i have friend that play it . And i show it off sometimes. So i dont want the car just setting there with the keys in it..

                      Either dont let your untrustworthy friends play your ps2 while your gone, or just walk to the car when you think it needs a charge. Im not really seeing a useful purpose to keyless starting.
