Hello,
First time to post here, hoping to finally solve this mystery. I have a 2001 chevy silverado LS 5.3 automatic transmission and a Clifford G4 Solaris. Alarm for the most part works perfectly. The problem I have is the remote start, half the time the engine fires right up. The other half, the remote start turns the motor over for just a split second, and the engine doesn't fire up, so it tries again a couple more times and gives up. Is there a way to adjust how long the intellistart turns the engine over? I downloaded the cliffnet 2.2 software, thats the one option that isn't available. If I could get it to turn the motor over longer then 1/4 second it might help. Any suggestions on what to do?
You need V1.1 or V1.3 disc or software to make it work. G4 equipment will run into all sorts of problems with V2.2.
I can assure you of that from experience.
When DEI conquered Clifford they fired the software developer thinking that either they would change there and then to Bitwriter or upgrade the original software. They did neither and here we are.
I still think Wiz is much easier to use than Bitwriter.
V2.2 won't adjust your crank time, but might throw the unit into passive lock/arm, dump the tach setting, etc. etc.
I still have (US made pre DEI) G4 because they still haven't approached its original build quality.
Yes the current product is smaller, nicer looking remotes, more range but more reliable?
I think not.
