Since I'm not that good and can't guess could you possibly tell me what make, model and year and whether it's an auto or manual trannie?

Nah a mid nineties Civic or a Vauxhall Astra/ Corsa, maybe a Ford Escort or Fiesta.

You guys are both SO wrong, I just got my Crystal Ball back from service. The car is an FTO, I really have no clue as to what kind of vehicle that is.

FTO is (was) a little gem with a 2L V6, dead easy if you know em, easy mirror fold etc.Trunk contact wire a pain, rest easy. Think Honda Prelude or much better Toyota Celica of the early 90s

That's what it looked like in my Crystal Ball, I just didn't want to look like an idiot incase that was not the case.
I have looked as close as I can, I still can't make out if it is an automatic or a manual transmission.

not sure if I appreciate all the "crystal ball" sarcasm, it was a genuine question? I can't see why all the fuss over make, model auto or manual etc. as I thought all remote starts were basically the same kit with generic features and that the specifics were sorted out during the install? I was only trying to find out if I need a SPECIFIC module to interface with my viper or if I can get a universal one? for all those with the interest in what I drive it's a MY95 "M" registration mitsubishi FTO manual 2.0L V6 GR in pyrenees black engine number DE3a with a small scratch on the bottom of the drivers door
is that enough info?

OK, The idiot wins, Kar Tune gets some points and I get none!!! BUT I'm the one who's installed to these vehicles including mirror fold. The sarcasm is because the rules state make model and transmission, eg you will need an MTM model if it's a manual. Viper do an add on for their alarm range but it's only obtainable through specialists like myself, general car audio shops wouldn't stock it. It works via your existing remote. How come you didn't have to have a Cat 1? Isn't the insurance company chasing you?

thanks for all the replies - let's just forget it now I'm not going to bother as it seems I can't compete with the one-upmanship that's going on
BTW mirror fold isn't that hard, DEI stuff is fairly accessible if you know what to order and my insurance don't insist on any security at all

We were trying to give you a genuine answer. It is sometime difficult to help when we do not have enough details to answer the questions. The biggest thing we needed to know was about the transmission, Howie has installed alarms on just about every vehicle sold in the U.K. He too really needed to know what kind of a vehicle you had in order to avoid you having issues with your remote start unit. Nobody is trying to one up anybody. We really didn't intend on hurting your feelings. I even went as far as viewing all of your posts in order to figure out what kind of vehicle you had. I even went as far as suggesting there was a button to allow us to view all posts by a member so I was able to view all of your posts.

You wil need a 561t with an MTN manal trannie conversion unit. If you don't like to use the MTN it's on your head.
