Professional Installion without Hoodpin?

i always use a hoodpin (or merc switch if rust is a problem) safety and i dont want to get sued . people are stupid and greedy .yeh? i can do that?

see! told ya!

I agree the safety feature should always be used. If you live in an area that has alot of snow and salt then your shop should be buying merc switches by the case. You can't expect to hide behind the excuse that the valet switch wasn't used because there are too many variables. Loaning a vehicle, a wife taking it in for service that doesn't know how to use it. What if someone is sitting in the waiting area of the local mechanic and the 3 year old is playing with mommy's spare keys and starts pressing buttons. Hmm, is the 3 year old to blame for de-limbing the mechanic. No that would be the fault of the installer. An extra 5 bucks is alot better than a lawsuit. http://www.logjamelectronics.com/crimcsmerhoo.htmlSteve G

hood pins on a remote start are essential toggle switch should be optional only along side hood pin. never leave the hood pin out. also a sticker is also recommended.. if you don't do a hood pin/tilt switch/reed switch on a remote starter i think it shows incompitence as an installer..Why oh Why didn't i take the blue pill

We ALWAYS use a merc. tilt on a RS.  I buy them for $2.50 ea and take 3 min to install.  Owner/ Custom Compact Performance
