Wiring is too short to reach from where the sensor sockets into the exhaust to the wiring connection without running against the engine

I really wanted to give the key fob five stars, but I find that I need to warn some buyers.  The fob will not work in a 2005 Lexus ES330 and perhaps other cars with an immobilizer.  The locksmith could not get programmed the working electronics that I inserted . I inserted a different set of electronics that work in a different key fob and they too would not work.  In the other keys, the electronics are very close to the key, but not in this keyfob.  I suspect that the problem is that the electronics are too far away from the car's mechanism that releases the immobilizer circuit.  Following the comment from another, I disassembled the three-button remote, removed the RFID chip, and glued it into a new position near the key.  This was a time-consuming task.  I will try again to have the locksmith attempt to add the key to the car's list of keys that can start the car.

When I first opened the fob (to insert the electronics), the spring jumped out and the seller had not included any instructions on proper reassembly.  Since then, he has promised to provide to new buyers a YouTube video.  You will need it and a bit of patience to reassemble the unit the first few times.

This product works exactly as advertised when it erased error code No. MO141 - heat sensor - on my Honda Element Model 2003 with 50,000 miles on it. The problem is that even though the error code was successfully erased, the "check engine" light did not go away and it still turns on every time I drive the car. I was under the impression that once I erased the error code, the tester would somehow turn off the check engine light but it didn't. I sent an e-mail to their support staff which appears to be in China but have not had any response. Am I missing something here? What I wanted was just to turn the engine light off since the car's heater is working fine and I had no intention of replacing the heat sensor even if it is defective. I just want to turn off the darn light. Any suggestions?

I own a 1999 Buick Regal LS with nearly 144,000 miles on it.  For the last year or so, I could not keep the front left-turn signal bulb from burning out.  My friendly auto shop owner replaced the bulb 3 different times.  Each time the new bulb would work intermittently for 1-5 days and then burn out altogether.  After deciding that the bulb SOCKET must be the problem, I priced one here on Amazon and @ the local O'Reilly's Auto Parts store, where they wanted $36 + tax!!

Necessity being the mother of invention (and home repairs), I decided to try a different fix.  I removed the headlight assembly and then the bulb/socket.  A friend then used his jeweler's file to clean the contact points in the socket.  We then applied some $1.39 conductive lubricant to the contact points and reinstalled the headlight assembly.  The whole process took maybe 15-20 minutes.  Voila....the problem was solved!!

When I try to start the car, it revs and take off, I think the problem was setting the hsn, lsn or idl. I break in, the settings were good, but the problem stills. I took de rc car to the hooby shop, and they  told me that maybe the problem is the clutch, so they take the clutch out and surprise there is no spring on the clutch, the manufacture forgot to put the clutch spring. This cause the engine burned. I want my money back.
I write my opinion now because the car was arrived here in Peru the first week of November.

I installed the chain and everything lined up easily. After everything was back together I started the car. It ran for about 1 minute and then shut off.
The tensioner failed. When I tore down the engine to check the timing I found that the tensioner wasn't working and the timing jumped.

I installed everything according to the video Cloyes put on Youtube. Everything worked when I put the engine back together. I purchased a new tensioner from a local auto parts store and made sure it was working and realigned the timing and put everything back together. Now my car won't start. Since this is an interference engine, I could have valve damage now from the timing being off.

I contacted Cloyes about the warranty and to see if they would do anything about further damage to my engine because of their failed part and they said Amazon isn't an authorized dealer so they will not honor any warranty.  I will not purchase any products from this company again. Having a warranty that they can get out of because it was not purchased from a certain store is not a warranty.

If you Purchase any Cloyes products from Amazon, be aware that they will not honor the warranty.

I purchased this toy on Saturday 1/5/08 and it arrived today Wednesday 1/9/08.

The wife came home with the 2003 Baja that had a check engine light on.  I connected this Actron CP9125, followed instructions and the error code was quickly located.  Followed instructions to turn off the check engine light and bang off it went.

The problem seems to be a down stream oxygen sensor from the catalytic converter.  Advice given on the net is to keep driving and see if it comes on again.  If so and the same error comes up will take it to Cole Muffler after I check the warrenty to see if the sensor is covered.

I have to give this toy an A+++++++++++++++++ and got it cheaper on AMAZON than EBAY OR anywhere else.  Well worth the bucks.

Same issue as a previous reviewer:  By T. King on September 12, 2013

The key cut fine and will open my doors and trunk. The transponder couldn't be programmed. Worthless, I could have gotten a door/trunk key at any hardware store.  Locksmith says there are 2 different versions of this key.  Nothing said about that when I ordered.  Regardless they don't work, either because they're faulty or the wrong spec.  Waiting for a response from Customer Service.  See if they come through. July 11, 2016

Fitted to my 2003 Rubicon Tcase 241OR RockTrack. You need a 1 1/2" socket on a 3/4" ratchet to get the old one out and the new one in after disconnecting the harness plug on top of the switch sensor. Trickier without body lift (I have one).  This happened after I did a clutch install, so I thought that the harness wires were pinched, checked them all , and came to conclusion that the switch bit the dust somehow during the removal and reinstall.

My symptoms were that the 4WD light didn't come on and therefore the lockers didn't engage in LOW range. After installing the new switch, I still didn't get the 4WD light to operate, I did a battery disconnect, no luck, then tried this, quoted from another website :-

1. Disconnect the POSITIVE battery Terminal and touch it to ground for 30 seconds. (This is to discharge the PCM capacitors, which maintain the Adaptive Memory.
2. Reconnect the Battery Cable
3. Turn Ignition Switch to the "ON" position but DO NOT start the engine
4. Turn Headlight "ON"
5. Turn Headlights "OFF"
6. Turn Ignition Key "OFF"
The PCM Adaptive memory has now been flashed, or erased from the PCM.

Still no 4WD light. Soooo.....

I did the dash light test routine (google it, if I remember it's hold the ODO switch and key-on the ignition switch) and then the light came back on after keying off and back on. YMMV.

No Luck so far making this device operate. I have a 1971 VW Bus and wanted a aux battery for accessories without draining the starter battery. Installation was easy and followed very easily. I have a 7 month old starter battery. Once I hooked in a ground wire from the aux battery to the frame the red blinking light turned solid red as stated in the instructions. I start the vehicle and the blue charging light never came on. Thought, well I will drive around and see what happens. I found out that my starter battery kept draining while the aux batter remained charged...but still no blue light. Basically it has killed my (fairly new) starter battery and I got it replaced - did find out on numerous occasions that the jumpstart feature works GREAT!!!

New starter battery in, same thing exactly as written above. Back to square one. Called tech support, "Tim" was very helpful and said it may be that the circuit board is defective and to return it. I did and waiting on a replacement. I hope it works, but the new starter battery has probably suffered some damage from being discharged frequently. Tech support also mentioned that the unit will not work on a positive grounded vehicle and suggested that may be my issue. No, the VW Bus has a negative ground system....but people who may have a European car that has a positive ground system, this will not work.

I will update once I get the replacement, but just don't think it is going to work but hoping for the best. The instructions said it goes into charging mode when the starter battery is above 13.4v....well, that is probably the problem as even the starter battery read 12.8 volts BRAND NEW. Not too sure how to get it up to 13.4?

Really disappointed this did not work for me so far and caused a lot of troubles along the way. Looks like many people had a good experience.

****UPDATE****
Batteries, mostly the starter battery was low. Decided to put it on a charger while still in the vehicle. Next morning to my surprise the blue LED light was on! Turns out it is working properly, I was just not getting the proper voltage due to a pre-existing alternator condition. Got the alternator wiring corrected and this product works as described and like a champ!

The original mass air flow sensor (at over 200,000 miles) was setting off the check engine light and would cause the engine to miss a bit on start-up.  Other than that, it ran okay.  Bought a lifetime guaranteed mass air flow sensor at a popular aftermarket parts store and installed it.  The engine would surge so wildly at idle that it would stop before it was ever put in gear.  It would not set the check engine light.  Returned it and went to another competitive after market store and purchased another lifetime guaranteed mass air flow sensor.  The engine started and ran well when it was cold.  However, after it was warmed up, the engine would stop when letting up on the accelerator.  It would not set a check engine light.  Returned it and bought the AC Delco OEM mass air flow sensor.  Installed it and the engine starts and runs terrific (again).  I am very pleased !!!

I was able to read the code about my problem. I was also able to
turn off that "check engine" light.
About downloading data on my computer, this is another story.
I haven't succeded yet. Very weird!
Anyway!
May be someday they will design one much more user friendly!

HAVE HAD THIS REMOTE START UNIT SINCE YEAR 2000 AND HAD IT 'PROFESSIONALLY  INSTALLED' on my wife's 1999 FORD Eddie Bauer EXPLORER. It worked  fine up until around the time that ethanol gas got introduced.
 Now since it is so hard to start a car that is cold and with ethanol gas it no longer works on a cold car . Only one that has been previously driven and warmed up. If I WERE TO BUY ONE OF THESE NOW I would stick with an OEM MODEL.
 MY WIFE'S KEY FOB FINALLY WORE OUT IN 2012. try getting a new one... dang near impossible and all these internet ones look like yours but unless they have the specific frequency they will not operate your unit. Like other's have said you will be on hold for hours trying to get through to company by phone and unless you have the serial number of the circuit board or other pertinent information that is on it [and that panel is located in your dash somewhere]  there is no sense in calling them. The info they need is NOT on your old key fob.
