Remote controlled electric cutout Okay I absolutely loved my e-cutout until I saw this Remote cutout
I Want to do the same thing with my existing alarm/remote start unit so I wouldn't have to carry an extra remote and since I have unused chanels on the remote.
How would this be done? Can I use window roll up/down modules to control the cutout?

it will take some designing and knowledge of electrical components since you will need something to sense when the valve is open or closed (spike in DC current). Me and my coworkers were designing something utilizing flip-flops and MOSFETs but we never actually made it.

Some of those outputs can be set to operate from 0-3or 5 seconds....if thats the case then it may be as simple as a few relays. But ive been out of alarms for a while so maybe someone with more knowledge can go a little deeper with my idea....

Check with the guy that is selling the LED firebird front panels. He uses a wireless system to turn it on and off. The only difference I see is the cutout uses a dual pole, double throw switch or something like that. I think the guys name is anticop something.

This would hook up just like a window roll down module. You would basically figure out what it takes for your alarm to roll windows up and down and sub in the cut-out instead. They basically function and wire the same and have you ever compared a window motor to a cut-out motor 
Hooking up a reverse rest on ground set-up is super simple with a wiring diagram (google). And lots of alarms can be configured with set timed outputs or will hold the output as long as you hold the button down. It would be cake to do if you did the research.

there are modules that will do this for you... i sent you a pm earlier.. ill find you a setup you can wire directly into your cutout and never get under your car... you need a momentary actuator.. there is no need for an "im open" or "im closed" sensor.. your ears are the sensor. lol.. this is so easy a caveman can do it...
