Hi. I'm new here and this site offers so much great information. I thought I'd ask the experts this one.

I have a Compustar spread spectrum unit installed in a G35 coupe auto. Problem is, that the remote start feature is intermittent. The car cranks but doesn't turn over. If this happens on the first of the 3 tries, it will not remote start. Any ideas? Thanks.

How often does it happen? When installing the r/s on my 300ZX, I had that problem and it was the fact that I had both accessory wires hooked up and I only needed the main wire. Just a thought.

hey jugga,

thanks for the response. i actually fixed the problem tonight. this has been going on for like 2 weeks and was bugging the crap out of me. i took the 555U out and found out the transponder had moved. needless to say, after a couple strategically placed zip ties and some electrical tape, that sh!t aint moving.

sorry if this sounds newbish, but im a dumb dumb when it comes to alarms. i always thought the car wouldn't crank at all if the transponder isn't detected.

i guess i'll continue my lurking and keep learning from the pros.
