i think mythbusters did this once.
or some other show on the discovery channel did I'm sure.
with a family on the way my sprinter won't be getting nearly as much use, so i got to thinking.
maybe i should sell it? hells no! nobody would buy it for anything close to half of what it owes me.
give it away? i don't like anybody that much.
my friend just picked up a minty silvia and decided to stick a nice alarm etc. system in it, which happens to include a remote ignition function.
i thought it would be really cool to get some kind of remote ignition system for my car, then my mind wandered.
what if when i remotely started my car, i could then go on to move it, maybe even drive it a little?
OMG I AM WILL BE THE FUTURE!
anyhow, i was just wondering if such things are possible, and if so, how to go about gathering the necessary equipment to make it all happen (not to mention how to go about figuring out exactly what the necessary equipment is).
any hints or infos would be appreciated.

it would be hilarious if you drove it out of its signal range, have fun stoping a 1 tonne, out of control object
ontopic... to do it properly will set you back alot of money (this is, assuming you want you to have full remote functionality.. driving etc)
such things are possible, but the question begs to be answered, "why?"
Guess you could always buy a cheap remote door lock system and wire the trigger wire for the unlock to a relay somehow, but you'd probably have to fool around getting the delay on holding it in the start position, I'm too lazy to do that though, so I'm just getting the proper alarm put in the Silvia, since insurance wants it all immobilized and harder to steal. :greenbounce:
i don't understand your post. are you talking about a remote start alarm? if so i install like 3 of these a week?
If you could get it to work, you couldnt do it suburban, you couldnt do it anywhere near anything really incase something goes wrong.
& i know that if i was out in the middle of nowhere with a sprinter, id have more fun IN the car? lol
it was mythbusters. they did it with their rocket car and one or two others so they wouldn't die. the top gear guys also did it for their amusement at one point.
i would like it to be able to start, drive, turn and stop. obviously with some type of default braking should loss of signal occur. if gear changing would be possible, that would be rather handy also.
the question from my perspective is 'why not?'.
not for road use by any means. i was thinking like you said, for a bit of amusement in the middle of nowhere or perhaps an empty carpark or something.
and steroidchickens, my vision is of maximum remote control functionality whilst standing a safe distance away. like a full size version of a little rc car.
i understand now.
that would be dangerous haha.
it hurts enough when a petrol RC car hits you in the ankle.
Thats a SV11 Camry made remote control a few years ago. Automatic of course. I have only seen it done with autos.
Don't waste a AE86.
