Until recenly, emergency brakes, ( a mechanical secondary means of halting the vehicle) typically don't work effectively in reverse..

Ever back out the driveway, put it in forward, and go no-where because the Emergency brake is still on.. It's because of how the emergency cables apply pressure to the shoes..

Recently new cars have been putting one of the Emergency brake cables into the rear of the backing plates, to apply pressure when the wheels rotate backwards..

They became "PARK" brakes,, when GM couldn't fit the word "EMERGENCY" on that little pedal on the floor... ( maybe not GM)

And cranking on the energency when the brakes are hot... you're asking for oval drums..

And about remote starters,.. I gotta ask,, what about the chip in the key, do you have to leave a key in the vehicle, (not nec in the ignition), to get it to start ??


cars with a chip in the key use a bypass module, Chrysler used the transponder bypass in the Grey key from 2001-2006, and PATS system after that

every manufacturer use a different system, and there not included with the remote start, they have to be bought separate
