Haunted VX?

[coachreed]

Definitely has a remote start on it somewhere. I'd do like Eckstream said and trace the antenna wire back tot he remote start brain. Also, look under the hood for any kind of hood pin switch. We are required to install them on the remote starts we do becuase MOST remote start systems will automatically try to start if power is lost and restored... having the hood up and pin switch interlock, makes it safe to service the vehicle. Find the brain and see what brand it is... maybe you can get new key fobs for it and reprograme them... could be a decent deal... although some remote start systems key fobs cost as much as the damn system itself! lol Let us know what you find.

TTYL!

That looks exactly like the antenna on my Viper (DEI) alarm system. Mine also has an auto start feature. It has not, however, ever started without my prompting, except occassionally when I reconnect the battery. There could be a temperature sensor, like someone else mentioned. I have heard of those before also.

I have a remote starter on mine. It is a clifford. The key remote has 4 buttons. Alarm-on-off, Trunk open, starter, Panic.

What does yours say?

Same antenna on mine and I have a aftermarket alarm installed with remote start.

Over the weekend I fussed with the remote and learned how to use the remote start. I take it my remote isn't the OEM version? Picture:



If this isn't the "normal" remote, does anyone recognize it?

I still don't know what caused the truck to start on its own... ghosts or gnomes or whatever... ;eekr;

I'm still leaning towards ghosts.

That thing looks just like an anal probe they showed on the Discovery Channel the other night...Yea, this fat lady who didn't have a bra on said they (the little green men) probed her with one of those things...WEIRD

Doesn't look OEM to me. I would almost bet the * starts your car. Just mess with the buttons pressing both, holding it for 3 seconds, etc. you should be able to figure it out.

I have an Avital remote (kelyess entry/remote start) that looks similar to that.

Check out http://www.avital.com. Might be able to find it (I didn't see it on their current products page, as yours is old).

It looks original, but I'm not sure if it is.

Nerf, that is an original VX remote.

Calculating the angular momentum of the earth over the last week, I suspect overflowing radio signals from a source in the Bull nebula, perhaps the posterior section.

dude - give me some of that **** - !
