Ya I bought one of these to just use as a remote start. Mine the pager would go off driving down the road, i didn't hook up the car alarm part thank god I would have been pissed to have it aways going offf. Ya mine it would show the truck open when I don't even have that connected. Have you tried to just ground that wire to see if it will stay off?

I have bought three of these alarms. They are a pain in the ass until you figure them out. The doors open will happen after 30 sec of shutting off your car if you have a dome light delay. Supposedly in the manual it says this a programing option but doesnt say how.

I also bought two of these. Everything is working fine when the weather is wam. However, when the weather is cold, it would not start. It tried to start and them the hood alarm came on eventhough the hood pin wire is not even hook up. Does anyone have any idea why it woud not start in the cold weather?

I've been playing around with it for a week now. As for door alarm, I found out that when I did not get the right wire for the door trigger, the alarm would came on with door open.

As for the cold weather problem, do you have the tach wire hooked up? Some vehicles need it in cold weather, or so I've been told. Do you have the hood pin wire grounded if its not hooked up?

The first time I bought this system it was called Radiostar King-Eagle. Now its called Carvox, but its the exact same system and controller. I too have been unable to get in touch with this guy. I want to figure out how to program the door open thing to stop doing that .
