That makes more sense now. The only way to disarm the Checkmate system is to use the Checkmate remote FOB. No way around this because the unit doesn't allow for an external device to disarm the alarm system. There was another member here about a year ago that tried this exact same set up with his Checkmate alarm system/ remote starter and I don't think it worked out for him. Here's the thread that you can read up on, it's a long one so I hope you have some time : https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/forum_posts.asp?tid=2348&KW=checkmate

Wow thats bad news if i cant disarm checkmate with new fob from starter.

The new fob's range is soo much better. Using two fobs is such a hassle, and like I said I want to elimate the checkmate one permanately.

thats why its best to buy a hybrid unit that has RS and Security all in one.... otherwise you'll have to get dressed, go out onto your lawn, shut off your aftermarket alarm, then go back inside and RS your vehicle, quite the hassle, heh?

Thats to cpgoose I have the checkmate alarm diagram.

Any idea how I can use my new remote start fob? So it could disarm the checkmate on unlock and/or remote start? There must be a way with a relay or somthing.

thanks

well you could use the RS unit to trip a relay to open the siren wire...so you dont hear it go off or else open the alarm 12V supply ( not a good idea ) other than that i dont see any kind of external disable input on this unit....

What kind of remote starter system is this again ? I don't think you mentioned what kind ot was ? If the remote starter has a (-) activation wire then you can use the Checkmate alarm to activate the remoe starter and only have one remote control FOB to control both units.

There it is !!! You can use the Checkmate remote FOB to activate the remote starter ( use the GREEN wire on P12 ) with a (-) pulse from the AUX channel of the Checkmate system. What you will have to do is lower the sensitivity of the impact sensor on the Checkmate alarm system so that the starting of the vehicle doesnt set off the impact sensor.

OF COURSE THEN YOU ARE RESTRICTED TO THE RANGE OF A TYPICAL KEYLESS ENTRY/ALARM SYSTEM...MAYBE AT BEST 100 FT, INSTEAD OF THE TYPICAL RANGE OF A REMOTE STARTER WHICH IS ABOUT 1000 FT.
