Unattended engine start - is it possible? 200

Yes here in the states you can get remote starters that are used as far away as 1000 feet or more.. The way they work is that they have a sensing unit that measures signal voltage coming from the coil. When the signal makes a certain numbers of pulses when the engine starts the sensor disengages the starting motor..If you can not obtain a remote starter device where you live I am sure one of us would ship you one..They start at about $60.00 dollars American if you can convert that. They also are recomended for automatic transmissions only but i am sure you can adapt it to a maunal one if you keep it in neutral when you park the thing at night..And yes I understand how you are going to use a cell phone to remotely engage the your unit but just think if a stray signal comes in and activates the thing.. also most of the remote starters sold here have a temp sensor that will also start you car at different intervals during the night when it senses a low temperature that you have set it to.. it startes the car and runs from anywhere from 10 minutes to 20 minutes each hour depending on what you want it to do..Do a web search on any remote starters and get the facts.. ....:)Max
