add on alarm and remote start problem

Unclemike1, I was talking to Trevor and one of the installers at the other store the other day, and from the sounds of it, it must have been your car that they had been working on again. From what I gather, they wired up the four separate doorpins, as well as interrupted the automatic headlamps during remote start. I'm sorry I can't get too involved in the customer-service side of the issue, but I do know how frustrating it is to have to return multiple times to get something the way you want it. I do hope that all the technical issues with your car have now been resolved.

Sorry but I've got to get back at Chris for his telling me off about lock descriptions, it's spelt THINGAMYJIG over here AKA whatsajamacallits, this is the place that used to have British Leyland where they invented shoulder bolts,. ie  anything left over, chuck it over your shoulder and don't forget flomelgrommetts, don't ask....

howie...I've heard similar stories about GM auto workers in the 70s and handfuls of screws they would shove under the back seat. Also a great quote from the current Duke of Edinburgh using the word "thingamy" that I can't recall right now.C Renner's Auto Electronix

My service is cheap, quick, and good - pick any two

i like it how on the older GM's (70's through early 80's) that had the cheap thin crappy tin door sill plates, the auto worker guys, if the holes in them didnt match right up to the hole underneath they wouldnt even try lining them up, they just screwed the screw in right there making a new hole right next to the predrilled one, haha. good job GM, way to go, and give yourself a pat on the back for building quality products all these years! you know, when i pull apart the newer ones i can see at least they are trying to do better, but some things just never change alot.

With ref to sills, ever seen a far eastern manufacturer stupid enough to use metal screws into metal to hold one in?
