Smart Key System
Posted: Wed Nov 04, 2015 8:27 pm
So, I've been thinking about it off and on for my 380 and the Lancer. Upgrading to a Smart Key system that is.
I've been thinking of something like this: http://www.digitalguarddawg.com/automob ... rs/product
I like the basic idea, though I'm after something a bit...more...really. The whole separate card/key idea I can live with, though I would absolutely love one that replaces the original key system even more.
Another thought I had was if it's possible to have a 'valet' mode. I know some cars I had back in the US had this. The basic idea is that if one of the master keys isn't detected, and only the valet key is, the car won't go over a certain speed or distance. For example, if the valet takes the car and drives more than 1km, the car will disable itself at the first 'safe' opportunity (that usually means when it's put into park for an auto transmission, or the park brake is engaged for manual).
Before anyone says it, I know setting up something like that will require possibly removing the ignition transponder system, possibly the entire key security system, etc etc, OR using a bypass module.
My questions are:
*Has anyone set up a system like this on our cars?
*What did you have to do to get it to work (bypass, ECU flashing/editing)?
*Does anyone have a system they suggest?
*Are any of the features of the system I linked, or the valet mode, illegal in Aus/South Aus?
