F6 Gill Member 9 Member For: 12y 10m 18d Posted 09/07/11 02:50 PM Share Posted 09/07/11 02:50 PM You'd hope so or it'd be a waste of time and money. I am looking at getting a timer and remote start for my F6. Sick of getting in it on those cold mornings! Heated seats would have been nice too ford...I was always under the impression that a car shouldn't be switched off until the turbo manifold is no longer glowing red which on mine can sometimes take a few minutes. I usually won't hit boost for the last few kms or will wait a minute or two but I'd rather not.Stating "you don't need a turbo timer" then in the same post saying "you just have to wait in your car until it cools down"...? Riiiiiight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wont do anything.Same thing while the turbo timer is going. Try locking it with the key as suggested.Its strange how the car can't be locked without a key or remote but I guess it makes it harder to lock your keys in.

Just gotta install a change over relay on the wire to the bem module under the icc which stops the signal that turns your car off when you remotely lock it.
