Remote car starter

[Lazboytt]

Hello

I’m new here and just picked up an m998.
Anyone ever install a remote car starter on one? Trying to find one that is a 24v setup or a work around to make one work. I have been searching for days with no luck. Hope this is not a duplicate post.

Your help is appreciated

You might find one.
But if not you would need a 12 volts going to a 12 volts relay with the 24 volts coming off that relay.

If you find one I would be curious. As man these things take forever to heat up!

I think summit racing has one ...

It would need a timer to allow for the wait light to go out.

I talked to summit racing last night with no luck. With regards to timers I believe most systems for diesel have a programmable option for timed delay.
i was thinking about the relay option but than you would also need a converter from 24 to 12 so the system would know it’s running.

I have found alarm systems that are 24v but no remote starters yet.

Anyone know of a 24 volt system or a work around for the remote starter?

I just don’t know that a 20 plus year old diesel needs a remote start.
I would want to make sure I had oil pressure and everything sounded like it is supposed to when I crank it.

This really has me thinking about that diagnostic port on the S3 boxes... I think I need to plug in my DPA and do some exploring.

When i had a 3speed trans, i left the shifter in gear when parked. A remote start would not work unless it was in neutral.

Why leave it in gear? It will roll in gear as well.

Hello,
Do you think you could use converters from 12/24 and also from 24 to 12?
I believe the standard system has about 8 wires so its not to crazy on the converters


I see they have this for 12V to 24V

And the following from 12V to 24V

Assuming the above (a delay, neutral, etc):
1. You could do a bluetooth solution going to a Raspberry Pi controller. There are numerous open-source projects for all sorts of actuators.
2. People get hung up around 24/12. technically, the lowest tech solution would be to fire a solenoid which would close the power circuit with a second one to close the ignition circuit a short while after. Heck, the circuit could even monitor the go-ahead signal for starting.
3. A higher tech solution would be to establish in protected parallel an entirely new power-start sequence.

Personally, I don't think it is worth it. Unique but I can think of 20 other Hmmwv things to spend my time and money on. This is too much of an edge case. Instead, buy a $36 block heater, walk out and start it and go on down the road.
