Rev Thru Remote?

something i thought about awhile ago but dunno if anyone else thought of it i have 04 tahoe and remember someone sayin that it has electronic throttle controll. now can i tap this somehow with the aux channel on my alarm and reve it when its in remote start from the remote that would be pretty kool if u can?? le me know what u think thanks

Wouldn't that be stupid as all hell??? You rev the car during remote start and then the remote start shuts down.Certified Security Specialist

Always check info with a digital multimeter.

Hmm, have you actually been trying all these things on your Tahoe? Or is this just "Fun things You Can Do With Electronics" ?

auex is right ...most remote starts have rev limiters.....if the tach goes too high it will shut the remote start down.....so that wouldn't workWhere theres is a wire there's a way.

nah i never did them just thought it would be fun. hereing all the engine work i did to it while showing people the truck i rev the engine while its in remote start and it never shuts down. does DEI have a reve limiter on the alrms?? i just thought it would be something to play with just an idea i had

Well it should shut down wether it is set to tach or voltage sensing. Certified Security Specialist

yes DEI has the rev limiterWhere theres is a wire there's a way.

I would also be very careful if you are going to try this. It could have adverse affects once you tie an alarm output onto this wire. It could potentialy ruin the BCM and around 800 to replace not the best idea.Certified Security Specialist

Even without the risk to doing damage to the car, it wouldn't be worth the trouble, since your control signal would just be an on/off type. If you had an R/C digital proportional control servo or something it might be interesting, since then you could make it seem like someone's in the car controlling it. With just some fixed RPM step up, it would probably just make it seem like the car's malfunctioning, and not all that cool-        :-)

it is possible to completly remote controll a full size automobile. You will need a Heavy duty Electronic servo for the throttle and a actuator from autoloc for the steering it can be done. Its ALOT of work though. Just ask the guys at myth busters. Oh cant forget about the breaks too. I saw at an R/C show a Radio controlled Powertoys Truck outfitted with a Brigs and stratton 5hp gocart racing engine. It was wicked cool.
