cx2300 a remote start alarm

What's the exact purpose of such sentence .... This post is crazy. I would never buy a $400 alarm, knowing what's inside. The CX2300A gives you the services of a more expensive. Keep in mind it's $100. YOu forget the chinese units can be modded easily too (with a bit of engineering). Ok, you need to guess what the user manual is trying to tell but at the end, that does the job. I hate the overengineered naming as here: http://www.avital.com/Products/Product.aspx?path=Remote%20Start%20ampersand%20Security%20System&id=5000 By essence, any electronic device is not fault proof.

Because I get to do loads of cars from mainland Europe, never ever seen a post on this site from France before! I used to install loads of Cobras, pretty bullet proof but extremely lacking in convenience features. I've lived through the rubbish produced by Scorpion (now made in Taiwan!!) Meta and good old Piranha, went with the original Clifford product in 92. Most of what you say is quite correct which is why we still tell people to do it W2W rather than D2D and I'm on record here as always telling people to hardwire tach. I completely disagree with your comments, like Tedmund here I've tried to install the cheap junk and in terms of DOA product and lack of reliability it just isn't worth it. And don't even get me on to French cars!

Amazon has it for $112. So it's about the same price I paid for the cx2300.

Ok, I tried with the tach wire connected to IGN 1. Still doesn't start. The car battery icon on the remote flashes and it beeps 4 times too. What does that mean?

OK, I've given up on this RS. I'm going to get a refund if I can. Thanks for everybody's patience with this, I really hoped I could figure it out but I've been a whole week without a car and can't troubleshoot any longer.

connect the PURPLE / white (oil pressure sensor wire) you can change it to tach, or as default connect to ACCESSORY. i mentioned ignition previously, but Accessory would better mimic the oil pressure sensor wire. if you change the setting to tach, then connect to the OBD2 pin 9 black also try leaving a key in the ignition cylinder in the off position. or try what i suggested to flip the key to ignition when it was starting. after you do the oil sensor connection above.

Hey seriously I read every post and no one really seem to know how to plug the remote start on a cheap carvox....Door lock and shock sensor and stuff is pretty very easy... But what about the Starter killer relay... First of all with the chinese doodie carvox remote starter you have to cut you crank starter wire in half from the engine bay. (that mean you cannot start/crank the car with the original key anymore and the only way to crank its with the remote key.) Why no body here talk about the killer relay( 85 is easy its pluged to ignition, 86-pin1 of harness H3-->this is a ground actived by remote key that power the relay coil so that 30 let pass the +12 to 87 that is wired to the starter(the starter wire that you cut in half) SO that mean no body in this forum ever talked for real about the stupid carvox install manual that dont tell at all where to take the +12 for 30 of the killer relay... Carvox manual also dont tell where to plug the pin 3 of H1 harness it only say Pin 3 purple wire(starter output+) connect to starter wire So you have to understand alone that you have to cut in half your starter wire then pass 1 big wire from engine bay to inside car to relay 87 and to starter wire and also plug an other wire the pin 3 wire of H1 .. That mean you have 2 wire going into the wire of the starter so its kind of a real strange 2 to 1 wire that doesnt look good... So after installing carvox 2 way kit the neutral safety switch dont work no more and you cannot crank using the key no more... Why no body ever talk about that and the killer relay but there is 9 page??? To much scrap here just like cheap Cardox manual Aceracer

If any one here really installed a carvox remote starter plztell me what wire of my car should I plug on the 30 (starter killer relay) make no sence on the carvox manual diagram Some one tell me about real stuffAceracer

what if starter relay fail while driving and voltage start passing from 30 to 87 without having the coil powered it would activate the starter while running... Ive seen so many relay fail like this but carvox relay look hundred ime cheaper then the relay I seen fail and let pass a bit voltage from 30 to 87 without the coil activated. Carvox is destinated to damage the car way too much and cut/damage all the car harness ... Seriously have some one really install a Carvox remote starter and used it for more then a month without problems??????????Aceracer

YOu're a dumb, I even didn't read your firing posts entirely. I have cx2300a fitted for 3 years now and use remote start 2 times per week. Nothing failed. Stater killer relay <> remote start feature. Starter relay wiring: coil: IGNition (key ON) +12V and the orange wire coming from the unit (grounded when armed) Relay switch: Original power wire of the fuel pump (may be IGN +12V but in my case, fuel pump has a power controller, so it's the ouput of the power controller) and the power wire going to the fuel pump (the one you just cut, so the relay is inserted in the fuel pump path). 200sx, 300zx, S4.
