Keyless Remote Start

[Ladies_Love_Lex]

Well not being funny and dont take this the wrong way BUT

99.9% of remote starts will stop when the break pedal is pressed so they aint guna get very far.

40% or maybe more of the cars on here would not be covered by insurance because of the mods they have so dont worry about it just get it fitted.

remember most of the people that have done xenon convertions are illegal cuz they do not have auto leveling so dont worry if you want it do it Fu :tsktsk: k the insurance companys they will do you in some way or another anyway.

And as for breaking the law im sure 98% of people on here speed, im sure some use their mobile phones when driving, Im sure they chance the amber light and go through red, some my even chance and drink and drive(BAD), some mite drive on by when the old lady is stood at the Zebra but life is far to short to worry about weather or not to have remote start. oh and there is window tint but lets not go there maybe another post/topic would be in order if we were guna go on the legality of that.

And if all eles fails dont tell the police or insurance company it was running simple and if they recover it tell them the thief fitted it not you.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

have to say i dont agree with this post, i would be confident in saying the majority of people on here have declared there mods. As for the lights, the law is so unclear on the legality of them there really is no issue with them at the minute.

i agree with people speed, but again the majority of sensible drivers on here would do it in areas they are familiar with and where they know there are no cameras. I never hold the phone to my head as you never know whos watchin round the corner, and i would never purposly drive over a zebra as its just rude! All your examples are by choice and you can stop breaking the law at any point, by fitting an illegal mod you can never stop doing it, so if you have an accident, your buggered!

and umm i dont think i'd like to try n trick the insurance company, i can see that going to court and then finding out your bank statements buying the alarm and then FRAUD SQUAD!

IF YOU HAVE AN ACCICEDENT WHEN SPEEDING YOUR MORE THAN BUGGERED AND IF YOU KILL SOMEONE YOUR DEEP IN THE SH :tsktsk: T AND YOU GOT TO LIVE WITH THE GUILT.

I SPEED ALL THE TIME I ADMIT THAT, I CHANCE THE AMBER LIGHT, I WOULD NOT DRINK AND DRIVE NOR WOULD I RUN DOWN THE OLD LADY BUT I ALSO WOULD NOT WORRY ABOUT A REMOTE START NOR DID I WORRY ABOUT A RADAR DETECTOR WHEN WE SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD THEM.

YOU CANT CHOSE TO BREAK THE LAW WHEN YOU WANT THE LAW IS NOT MADE BY US, YOU BREAK IT YOU BREAK IT SIMPLE. AND YOU SAY YOU "would do it in areas they are familiar with and where they know there are no cameras" AS I WOULD TO BUT YOU CANT SAY THAT AND THEN ON THE OTHER HAND WORRY ABOUT A REMOTE START BEING FITTED TO A CAR. ALSO YOU CANT SAY YOU DONT AGREE WITH A POST AND THEN ADMIT TO MOST OF THE THINGS I SAID IN IT MORE PEOPLE THAN YOU THINK DONT DECLARE THEIR MODS WITCH IS UP TO THEM. DIRECT LINE CHARGED ME £68 FOR CHANGE OF WHEELS, FIRST ALTERNITIVE WOULD NOT INSURE AN RX WITH SIDE STEPS, SO ALL COMPANYS ARE DIFERENT. I HAVE TO ADMIT I HAVE YET TO MEET SOME ONE THAT HAS DECLARED THEIR MOD'S.

COULD SOME ONE START A POST OF INSURANCE COMP THAT DONT CHARGE FOR MINOR MODS CUZ MY INSURANCE IS UP FOR RENEW IN APRIL I THINK AND BEFOR ANY ONE SAYS SKY THEY ARE NOT CHEAP FOR ME CUZ I TRIED THEM.

SORRY ABOUT THE CAPS THE CAPS LOCK IS STUCK ON ON THE LAP TOP THINK ITS ON ITS WAY OUT.

churchill & direct line didnt charge me for mods.

alloys are standard so if you declare them and the value it shoudlnt make a diff as they are cheaper to replace than oem. factory bodytkits are also a dealer option so never had to pay for one..

Sky insurance wont touch anyone under 21 so no good for me im afraid...

[FuntimePhil]

well prepare to meet a lot cus nearly everyone on here have declraed there mods

Im fully aware that speeding is against the law, however, you not speeding 24/7. if your at the lights and someone crashes into you your fine, with illegal mods your not.

Im happy to take the law into my own hands on certain occasions when i speed and im fully aware of the consequences and risks and i take the necessary precautions, driving with illegal mods 24/7 is too much of a risk, only takes one muppet to bump you.

and i havent agreed with most the things you said, i said i occasionally speed, thats all.

Simple answer, if you dont declare Mods your an idiot. (sorry to all the idiots).

Remote start is not an illegal mod you just should not use it on a public highway or where it can cause danger to others.

You do have to have self leveling with HID conversions and change the head light itself to meet ECE 98 approval

I would love to hear someone say to a Police officer when you have just ran over some one when you were speeding>>>>

"Im happy to take the law into my own hands on certain occasions when i speed and im fully aware of the consequences and risks and i take the necessary precautions" but dont worry officer i dont have remote start fitted

I gess my point is that remote start does not void your insurance unless it was stolen when it was being used and it cant be stolen when being used because it cant be driven by the owner let alone the thief and as for being illegal take the risk we do that when we speed do we not?

[redz_UK]

mate the point is simple your saying to everyone dont declare your mods..

as said before, thats just plain stupid. you opened yourself up for abuse with that one. all it does is make it more expensive for those of us that do declare and pay insurance.

The attitude youve taken is exactly why some companies wont insure young drivers and why they are probably stinging you for mods. and as for posting that on a public forum thats even more silly.. who knows who may be reading..

so thats everywhere then?? and as soon as you switch that car on without sitting at the wheel, regardless of the saftey features, you have just broke the law.

if i get caught for speeding then its my own fault for being careless, however being caught for an illegal mod when i have drove perfectly well but some tit bumped me is something totally different.

im afraid its not that black and white, run a search on here for HID and read the hundreds of topics on the subject, i feel safe with my hids.

exactly, theres that many muppets driving around with undeclared mods that the rest of us have to fork out to cover them.

whats an extra £10 a month compared to writing off your car and getting no insurance money from it!

I dont understand where i have told people not to declare their mods I did say if you dont declare them thats up to them, I told you i was charged £68 by direct line for my wheels. so im a little confused to when i said dont declare your mods.

I told them to tell the insurance company the thief fitted it but you must have realised that was a sarcastic comment.

I have pointed out that some mod's are illegal but people still have them, Remote start does not void your insurance, nor does speeding as far as im aware? can any one help with this?

You cant tell some who askes a question about remote start that it is illegal and voids his insurance when its not true.

No attitude was ment but all i did was point out some things and i put at the top of one of my posts "Well not being funny and dont take this the wrong way BUT" there is no attitude in this and none was ment so your comment about "you opened yourself up for abuse with that one" I did not open myself up for anything most of all abuse.

There is no need for it simple as that

yes they are aaaannnd yes they do!!!

UK Law (construction and use regulations), it is illegal to have the engine of a car running if the driver is not in the car. The only exception to this is were the engine must run to power some auxillary work device such as a compressor on a recovery truck.

i thank you :D :D

[Rabster]

plain and simple if you dont declare the mods you make you are AS BAD as those without insurance or tax or mot

i think you will find most insurance companys only chrage you extra on what they call performance mods which tend to be things under the engine which deviates form the factory standard

i put my supercharger on and my insurance went down.

in my opinion your STUPID not to declare your mods even more stupid to try and decieve the insurance companys

the only reason prices go up if you declare the mods are because of some factors

your a young driver and you have been branded the same as all the boy racers

you have had accidents be it your own fault or others

your in a high crime area

some insurance companys favour some cars over others

for example

1999 vauxhall vectra with admiral was more expensive than 2002 Is200 with admiral

when i put the supercharger on my car and changed to adrian flux it was cheaper than with admiral to insure the car with mods declared

[Ladies_Love_Lex]

It is not illegal to have remote start fitted to your car Auto or manual (subject to safty items) in the UK but it is illegal to use it on a road. It does not void your insurance it is up to your insurance company if they insure you or not so you should tell them what alarm you have and any add ons to that alarm. like one member commented it may reduce your insurance premium??

Its up to the insurance company, "Direct line would prob have a melt down if i asked about Super charging my car" (the last comment was a joke by the way) Im with tesco now and they are the same.

[aido]

The problem I had with places like Direct Line was that they only have space on their system to list five modifications!

I had to move to Adrian Flux with the IS when I exceeded that lot, one of the guys who was on here a few years ago, Tony (Maz), had I think three pages worth when he sent the information back to Flux

It's a lot easier with the Aristo as I don't intend doing anywhere near the number of modifications that were done to the IS - main problem now is finding a company who will insure it as most don't even list it!

[FuntimePhil]

lol so basically you can have a remote starter that you cant use cus it would be illegal. i might go n buy one, just to look at.

and i dont deny that the insurance company will accept that you have it, but you try claiming of them if the car gets nicked cus of it, or if theres a malfunction and it causes and accident. i think not!

Are you saying that you have mods but don't declare them to your insurance company ? Sorry, but that's insane. If you have an accident and the insurance company find out about the mods, then they'll void your insurance.
