Well, I can't post there, so I'll throw my 2 cents in here.
My cousin has a Tundra and if you wait a split second after you turn the engine off the doors unlock by themselves. My friend's Camry also does this. I guess this in no way proves that the IS3 does this, but I'd say it's a definite possiblity.
I had an alarm shop hook my old Viper Alarm up to do just that as soon as the ignition was turned off. The doors would unlock. When I turned the key to start the car, the doors would lock. If that's what you want it definitely can be done.
This sounds like something that can be programmed by the dealer.. anyone ask about the programmable features yet ? I'd ask.. but I don't have one yet so that kinda takes the fun out of asking..
I find there is a definite difference in approach between factory and port installed alarms.
1. Factory - uses a chip inside the key to send a code to the ECU which allows the car to start. No automatic door locking.
2. Port - Glorified keyless entry. Locks doors automatically though.
Are we sure that you are not bumping the unlock button while turning the key???. I have done that - the turn/e-flash indicators blinked at the same time so I am pretty sure that I bumped the button. The car probably ignores the key buttons while the car is running and/or the key is fully in the ignition switch.
Okay so I just had a mechanic install an HKS Dragger II exhaust that was brand new (I initially was going to do it myself but was persuaded otherwise) on my 2001 IS300 and am hearing what sounds like a tin can rattling behind my car between the speeds of 5 and 15 mph only while I am coasting...
May have been done before but there is a lot of new members in here. I will be maxing out my +REP in here every day for anyone that post pictures of there IS300. Please no criticism. Some people do things others may not like but it is to their taste. Let the +REP begin.
Here is my IS300...
Hi guys,
Hope you're all well!
Please bare with me as this is my first forum post!
I'm having an issue with my gearbox and wondering if someone could help.
After about 40 mins of normal driving gear changes become difficult sometimes so difficult i can't even get into first or reverse...
I know this has been asked heaps. But they always delete the answer or close the thread. I locked my Fob and Key In the boot. A lot of forums say there's a trick to get the boot open wit out the key. Can some one tell me how or PM me how thanks heaps x
