Hey everyone,
I am working on a 2006 SSR. I have already installed K40 radar/laser system, navy, and remote start alarm. I am trying to make the converitable top open and close off through the remote from the alarm system. I was wondering if anyone has done this with remote start. When opening the top you must have the foot brake which would shut off the remote start. I really need to get this done plus it would look awesome to open the top while remote starting the car. Thanks for any help in advance. Keith

There was one for sale on ebay very recently that had this set up and had a video showing it in action. That is all I know, but I am sure others will help! By the way

Yep, Eric had this done by Victor Kelley Alarms in Victorville and I don't believe it cost him anywhere near $2500. The shop is just a few blocks from work and I'll try to stop by and ask Victor.

Works for me - from memory, I think the remote unit alone was around $ 1,000.00. And I also think the # was $ 2000, not $ 2500.
I think we may have figured it out. Its a ton of relays for open and close, but it looks like I will be able to do it. Just got to talk to the guy that owns the car and it should be good. I will post if I get to do it and Ill post pics too. I am on a lot of car forums and this is one of the best ones I have been on. Lost of forums have members, but no other forum has had so many responses. Thanks a lot for the help. I will keep you all post. Thanks, Keith

If you don't become a supporting member, you will have to "link" the pictures from somewhere else. But I'm sure we'd all like to see more pictures
hey everyone,
After several hours and 10 relays we got it. Open and close while the car is running on remote start. We used the clifford paging alarm system. I will take a video and post it on u tube. The guy that owns the car wants the car to be clean, so its going to be cleaned and there should be a video on u tube within the next week. I will keep you all posted. Thanks for the great help. -Keith

Good news. The video will be interesting to watch.
This is one of the things I want when I finally pick up my SSR. I have a CompuStar pro 2-way remote start/alarm that's getting pulled from the Solstice, and since the top is automatic and takes 25 seconds, it would be awsome to hit the button on the way out of the office and hop into a ready-to-go R.

I had this done on mine a while back by the stereo shop that installed my alarm. Several relays were required.
Make sure you know where all the relays are and how to get to them, some of them go bad. I've had to replace some already. Now I try not to use the remote feature too much.
While I was searching RECALLS on Recalls.gov for tire stems, I also noticed Remote Starters causing fires, sorry I didnt note manufactor but could be something for you to search? or not. recalls.gov

I should be getting my R back on Saturday or Monday; I'll let you know what it took with the CompuStar to get the top down by remote...
That's also when I get 'er back with the touch-screen dvd, integrated nav, Sirius, music keg, JL TW5 (13.5" sub) behind the passenger seat, Morel Elates in the doors, 2 Alpine PDX amps, and the rest of the car alarm and remote start.
