Answer me oh lords of jaguar
Hey all so i was curious earlier of installing a push button installation system which worked well. But now that the itch has been irritated so to speak, I was curious since I'm decently handy with wiring and soldering and electrical systems to a degree, could i go a few steps further and get a full remote start system to work on the jag?
This one in particular: Car Remote Keyless Entry with Start Stop Engine Button | eBay
It says to work the car has to have a mechanical steering wheel lock, 3 stage ignition switch meaning ACC, ON, and IGNITION START, and central locks. The X type has all these things so in theory according to them I'm good?
Curious on feedback here from some of the familiar faces and voices I've heard on what the word is here. Thanks for input and feedback in advance.

The only problem you will have is trying to fool the ignition switch. If you search the x308 you will find a whole thread on remote start. When I wanted one on my XJ8 the only way it would work was to have a key inserted in a hidden assembly that had to stay in the vehicle so that the security system could read the code for the key and tell the ECU it is OK to start.
The problem with that on a Jaguar is the alarm system can no longer set because it thinks you left the key in the car and the doors won't lock. Plus the computers will not shut down because they are awaiting the car to start up.

Georgio, the ECU will not allow spark to the spark plugs unless it recognizes a good RFID number. With this being said, if the "black box" that the remote comes with has an acceptable number, that number would have to be programmed into the ECU. Otherwise, no amount of bypassing is going to allow the engine to run.
Most people program a key and then cut it apart to pull out the RFID chip. Normally you can then tape the chip to the top of the ignition tumbler to allow the system to be fooled and allow a remote starting system to start the engine. BUt, this also opens you up to anyone coming into the car with a screw driver and with a little bit of force, rolling the ignition and starting the car.
