Hi,
I have recently installed an avantguard g5 with intellistart in to a ford fiesta zetec-s. I would like to enable the setting where the car will automatically start the engine when the voktage gets low, however the voltage calibration settings in cliffnet wizard have left me completly stumped.
Could anyone help me understand the settings and how to use them? Thanks in advance!!

hi, is it the actual programing that you cannot do, as in youve set it and it dont work, or you do not understand how to do it at all.

I don't understand it, it doesn't make sense. What value am I supposed to put into the calibration field? How do I calibrate the thing?
Thanks :)

from what i remember it is prety easy to do, select the voltage part, set it and apply the settings, its been a while since ive used it, try and do it how you think and test it, see what happens.

Sorry, that's not making a lot of sense to me. It doesn't appear to be as easy as that.
Any help appreciated :)

ok so a battery full charged is about what 12.5v so lets say you have you car sitting the battery will disapate over time if you dont drive it so the battry will drop to a point thast it wont be able to start so set your voltage threshold to a level right before the battery is to weak to start the car say 12.2v i just got the programming cable and im tweaking my settings so feel free to ask me anything else while im working with this program

That's the thing. If I enter, say, 12 in the calibration field, the threshold slider begins at 16v (4v more).
I have no idea how this section of the program works.

o ok my bad with your meter with the car running or off measure the voltage enter that number into the field and hit calibrate in this area you are teaching the alarm the exact voltage (the alarm might be off my a few tenths. voltage threshold defines at what voltage you require the remote start to be enabled got it?
