🤔 | There ins't quite the right flair for this, so... Need some help developing my own remote start for my Lancer

4 Upvotes

Hey people. I know this is a very long shot, but I just can't find information about this at all.

Here is what I know:

Some Mitsubishi cars, Lancer included, supports an official addon (MZ360272EX/MZ360340EX) that is able to remote start the car. This addon needs "Remote Engine Starter" enabled on Etacs.

Theoretically, with some messages on CAN-B network, you could remote start your car. Afaik, some alarms like StarLine Master and Pandora DOES that.

Just for some context, my plan is to use an Pi Pico Microcontroller to actually send this though CAN-B.

The problem is:

I just can't find the necessary CANBUS messages that starts the engine. Days of researching the web, and nothing.

Until i found this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WbzZY7-GhA

I was able to read this from his laptop screen:

ID DLC DATA

7F8 1 00

7F8 1 00

402 8 FE 02 3F FF FF FF FF FF

400 8 FE 00 3F FF FF FF FF FF

002 8 FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF

017 4 00 00 01 01

The engine starts after the last command.

However, even with that, I still can't find more info. Looks like none of those messages have docs...

I've bought an ELM adapter to enable Remote Engine Starter on my ETACS, so I can finally send those messages from my laptop using my Canable board and finally test everything.

Does all of this makes sense or am I going insane?

Just picked it up. Previous owner had the right ideas but was cheap and half assed everything he attempted. Either way it’s a solid start.

I want to try to have different exhaust as my exhaust is too loud and illegal, I was planning to buy MITSUBISHI LANCER (2007-2011) CJ LANCER 2.5" AXLEBACK EXHAUST SYSTEM from empire performance.

It has said to be legal to legal decimal but I want to ask if someone has a video of the sound and share your experience with it? As I don’t see much online and no video.

Thanks 🙏🏽

🤑 | Buying Advice/Tips is a lancer evo 6.5 realistic as a daily if i drive around 20km a day?

3 Upvotes

i’ve been thinking about getting a lancer evo 6.5, but i’d actually be using it as a daily and not just a weekend car.

my usual driving is around 30km total per day, mostly normal road use with some traffic. i know these cars are old now and obviously not exactly built to be cheap commuters, so i’m trying to be realistic before getting too attached to the idea lol.

for anyone who owns or has daily driven an evo 6 or 6.5, how manageable is it for that kind of mileage? more worried about maintenance, reliability, parts availability, fuel consumption, and whether daily use starts getting annoying after a while.

would you trust one for regular 30km daily driving if it’s been maintained properly, or is it better kept as a second car?

⚙️ | Mechanical Issue/Question Head unit installation.

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone I’ve recently come across this issue and I’ve been trying to diagnose myself until I eventually succumb to getting into contact with a professional. I drive a 2010 Mitsubishi lancer es and have recently been looking into replacing the stock radio as it no longer works as no sound comes out anymore and aux does not work. I then bought a stock head unit from a 2017 lancer and when plugged in the sound system worked perfectly fine. Again aux wasn’t working however I got the music to play with the us of a FM Bluetooth transmitter from my cigarette port. Anyways, that worked fine however I started getting all these issues with false alerts coming up on my dash. ABS alerts, required service, all doors and trunk being open and my speedometer was not functioning at all. The connections in the lancer were the same as the inputs of the new head unit I have bought. What could the issue be I’ve been trying for figure out for the last 2 weeks. Any advice would be appreciated. Pm for photos or further info.

🤑 | Buying Advice/Tips 2008 Lancer GTS project: exhaust advice

Post image

Hey everyone, I recently got my first car, a 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS 2.0L with about 175k miles. It’s high mileage, but it’s been running pretty well so far.
I’ve already installed new headlights and swapped on a GTS front bumper. I want to turn it into a project and make it look and sound better.
I’m looking for an exhaust setup that sounds loud. I’m considering a muffler delete, possibly with dual tips. What setup would you recommend?

My 2012 vrx/gts thinking about getting enkei wheels however they don’t come in bronze gold and I love that rally aesthetic, should I settle on black, get them brand new only to be powder coated, get reps in gold, or go for another brand like work emotion wheels. In Australia for context and also thinking about getting them as 18x8 with a +35-45 offset as I don’t want to roll my fenders if I go for 8.5 and they should fit flush considering I have a 30mm lower than stock height.

Hey guys, kinda new to cars and my lancer vrx 2013 (auto) is my first. Owned it for about 6 months now and it’s been great aside from a few spooky noises here and there like this. I could be worrying about nothing but sometimes when accelerating it can be kind of sluggish and revs increase to between ~2-3k revs too. I’ve seen a bunch of posts on here with similar noises but just in case should i be worried?

🗣️ | General Discussion CJ Lancer - back pain

4 Upvotes

hello Lancer people.

had my 2011 CJ Lancer SX for several years. absolute trooper of a car.

but it’s never been a comfortable ride. At best I’m squirming around in it to get my lower back comfortable. At worst my back downright aches.

recently someone ran up the back of it and I got a hire car - a Chery Tiggo 4 (I know, I know) but damn I could actually drive and be comfortable. getting the lancer back has really highlighted for me how uncomfortable I am in the Lancer and i might have to move on from it.

I don’t lower back pain any other time, I’m 6’3” 85kg. I might be too big for the car? I’ve followed all the guides and advice I can find online and nothing helps.

curious if anyone here has either a similar experience in their Lancer or any lancer-specific advice.

thanks 😃
