do not quite understand the question I had it installed on a ford fusion, and automatically within 5 seconds of turning on the computer was turned on and lit plants sound at shutdown 60 seconds on and off during this time hear static but that's normal

Not sure exactly what you mean by key hot but maybe I can be of some help. You will need a 12 volt constant and a 12 volt accessory connection along with your ground. The 12 volt constant can be any 12 volt power source that has power with ignition in the off position. The 12 volt remote will need to be wired to a 12 volt source when the ignition switch is on or in accessory only. They should not be connected to the same wire source. I do not recommend using any safety items as your source such as airbags or vehicle stability controls. Good luck to you and I hope I was able to answer your question.

No, you can only use the voltage required, or you will burn out the motor. I hope this helps. Good Luck

I have two sets of lights in different areas but I use the same remote for both. Saving the other remote for when I lose or break the one I'm using.I also added two extra light strips from a set I bought earlier. Everything works ok. Lights and plugs don't get hot.

I guess you could put in a in line switch. I wired mine into a source that comes on with the key.

It mite but check what the input voltage is on the onyx unit. But I'm sure it would. The onyx unit is listed on this page. I wired this unit into the cigarette lighter wiring so no power when keys are out.

I changed my mind and returned the keyless remote...just using a regular key for my car. Sorry couldn't help.

Can u please check your voltage from your electrical outlet or try another outlet because i bought this wood remote and works great and i so impress by the perfomance i bought another one so ensure you have a proper ground also ensure the tape at th back of the remote has be complete remove if you have done that remove the cover at the back of the remote with a phillip screw driver and ensure the battery is in place once again i have bought this woods remote and it works with my lights,fan,blender,and as a senior-Technician it is the best i give it five stars.

The answer from Thomas D. is right on and the only comment I would add, is make sure you have you on off switch in between you 12 volt supple hook up.

You would have to identify a circuit that is always getting power, even when the keys are out of the ignition. It would be best to use a multimeter and make sure the circuit reads ~12v. You can start with the fuse for the interior lights. These are usually powered all the time. If you do not know how to use a multimeter, you should probably find someone who does and ask for some help.

You can try before purchasing remote. Just press brake, put key in ignition and turn to on position (not starting) 8 to 10 times within 20 seconds. If you hear the door locks actuate automatically during this time, this remote may work.

Well, we know that the voltage is 12v DC @ 1.5 amps for the keyboard. But I wouldn't try it. How many amps are coming from the battery? If it matches and the wiring is center pin positive, I then can see no problem.

There should be no reason why you can't. Just make sure you attach it to a live terminal if you want it to work while the ignition is off. Good Luck

John, I apologize that it took me so long to get back with you. If you do a search on the type of key that is comparable to the one you have then I am sure you shouldn't have a problem. Now as far as your alarm system, if you set it up yourself; I would think you wouldn't have a problem. But if it was something that was done by a company (as far as the installation and pairing with your key for remote access) then you may have to take it back to them for service. Just my opinion. I am not an expert. :)

I connected to the radio power wire. That way it works for a few minutes even after the key is turned off. Every vehicle is different of course. If you do go to the battery direct, be sure to put fuse coupler in next to battery. I have had mine installed for over a year and so far works great.

You should be able to replace the remote. However the key also contains a chip. If the key still works then the chip inside the key is ok. You should switch the key in the broken remote with the key in the working remote if your not sure the key works. To wum it up make sure the key is still working, if it is yes you should be able to replace just the remote.

I bought the key & the panasonic 2020 battery to make my key work, nut the battery did not work! There seems to be be some soldering involved with getting the battery to work so I still don't have the battery working. Once the battery works, you can take the key & cut it and then transfer the electronic parts to the new key & hope that it all works. I haven't had the time to play with the battery yet to try the key!

I confirm what it as been said before by the others, no problem unless you use it with a very sensitive equipment. Another way to do it is to use a 14v adapter to get 12v at the end if you have a voltage drop. But normally the equipment have a tolerance and you should be good.
