I have aftermarket alarm with remote start and timer/ daily start. I coded extra immobiliser transponder and it is located in the car but not next to immobiliser coil, so you cannot just force ignition lock or hotwire to steal it. I have another coil next to OEM coil and 3rd coil wrapped around transponder in remote location in car, both additional coils are connected with wires and relay. Normally relay is open circuit so no signal is passed between coils. When remote/timer/daily start is activated alarm switches on relay, complete the circuit and data is passed from transponder to immobiliser allowing start. Alarm also have immobiliser function and will cut fuel pump if start is unauthorized. When started remotely and somebody brakes in it will cut engine, if handbrake is released it will cut engine, or if somebody gets in without opening doors and tries to drive away with handbrake on it will still cut engine if rpm rise over about 1500.
I work night shift and finish work at 6am so I have daily start set to 05:50 on cold days so it starts up by itself, is defrosted and warmed up and I can drive off while others are still scraping off ice from windows.
