Bystander50 5th Gear July 5, 2012 Share July 5, 2012 dun need to buy BMW lah.... just spend $200+ get a 2 way alarm (with installation) and can have the same function regardless what car you drive.... my SPY alarm can pre-program the car to start at the time I want and the aircon will be turn on before I go down.. Not only that, can remote start and turn on the aircon as well.... there are options features like winding the window down if you willing to pay extra... Some cars are not suitable for this, especially those with transponder. You won't want to hide your key somewhere in the car for the remote start to work. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expertz 1st Gear July 5, 2012 Share July 5, 2012 A lot of people thought that those solar calculators are able to power up and use under normal lighting conditions and similiar solar chargers would be equally effective. I bought one of these solar chargers, left it at the window facing the sun when I reach office. It wouldn't start charging until noon and it goes on and off depending how strong the sunlight is. It will not start charging even under flourscent lights. But it wirks for those old filament blubs. Anyway, for all these effort, I only got extra 2% battery juice. Lucky there is an option to charge using usb, so the battery is not really wasted. wow 1st hand experience! lucky i didn't buy it then because i would have wanted to leave it in my car all the way to power up really small stuff like fans and perhaps a 3g router too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bystander50 5th Gear July 6, 2012 Share July 6, 2012 simple solution.... just do a bypass.... Then it defeats the purpose of having the factory fitted immobiliser. Decided against it for my current ride. Previous ride I had it done up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a good sunny day when the solar panel is charging the battery, i connected it directly to my hp. It's not even strong enough to charge it. The battery indicator ain't moving.

Alphas 2nd Gear May 16, 2016 Share May 16, 2016 The temp inside the car in the sun can reach 80C. Even with solar film it does not prevent heating effect. Anyway to lower the temp inside the car? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
