I guess they use different remotes in Europe!

I tried activating my alarm for the fist time ever When I press the "locate/panic" button on the remote, the horns blare and lights flash and it's very easy to find where the car is.

But when I tried locking the doors using the remote and then used the key to open the door, the door opened fine but I could see the little red dot on the dash blinking rapidly and I also heard a set of feeble beeps. Is this how it's supposed to work, or is it supposed to be louder? I can't imagine any thieves getting caught in the spotlight with that kind of noise - I actually had to pay attention in a quiet environment to hear it.

 

That was an effect of alarm pre-activation, a gentle 1 minute warning before engaging the main alarm sound.

 

Just breezed thro your forum while searching for sources to buy the Lexia as some of the members of the UK Peugeot 406 Coupe Club forum are beginning to buy this interesting piece of kit. Of course we use the Peugeot Planet 2000 program within the suite but comments here are interesting even if it's for a completely different car.

The 5 digit code to which you refer is the build date code or DAM code as it is called in French. The program needs to know the build date to configure the build spec to define which items are embodied in the vehicle and of which spec they might be. Since these are codes defined by PSA (Peugeot/Citroen) it's hard to say how you might enter a code that would be appropriate to the age of your vehicle if PSA hadn't intended the kit to be used on a Mitsubishi. Seems like you got a suitbale code to operate the program but I don't know if it would actually identify all the gear on your vehicle. I believe the coding system differs from PSA vehicle to vehicle as the starting date code seems to be random, or outside our understanding, but the subsequent codes change day by day to tie down the actual date the vehicle left the assembly line. Our 406 Coupes are very low volume production and very few were built over a 6 year period. We have a build date code translator for the Coupe on our club website but I don't know if that helps you with the Outlander at all.

Hello Vadimus,
I saw your post on this. Did you ever implement?
What has been the result? I have a 2008 XLS, would this work?

Thanks

 

So it might be better to inaktivate the pre-alarm-setting...

Is there any possibility to enable the unlocking of the car by pulling the door handle inside the car after locking by speed? In this case my car only opens the drivers door and all others stay locked. I have to unlock by key or central door locking button on drivers door. This might be nice if e.g. get of the car to let out my dog while the engine is always running...

I played with the option door unlocking by key (from "whitout" to "drivers door") with no effect.

 

It should definitely work on 2008 XLS.

As for me, I ordered wrong switch (on-on but momentarily not bi-stable) so I postponed it a bit.

 

Can you tell me what the Ds mode is doing theoretically? I see in the videos that it holds the RPMs longer, but isn't that the same as flooring the accelerator?

So in other words, is it just giving quicker throttle response on the pedal without flooring it?

 

Kinda. Under the same load and throttle position RPMs stay higher in Ds.
And torque converter is locked more often.

 

Thanks, very helpful. I have always wondered about the Outlander's torque converter. I have paddle shifters and in any given gear, I have observed the RPM go up significantly if I press harder on the throttle which led me to believe that the torque converter un-locks at this speed.

I would argue that Ds under load is un-coupling the torque converter. Does that sound right?

Is there a place where I can see a complete schematic for this mod?

 

Well, this is not quite a mod, it is the activation of JDM-available feature.

Ds


Y is RPM, X is speed, % is throttle opening
