Would you buy a CDT FBH remote control ? - Page 6

Keith · 31st January 2007, 17:08

Yes I think you should

pull the wires out of the FBH but leave in situ ditto the supply

the antenna should come away from the screen without making to much of a sticky mess

you will need to pull the ATC panel out and reconnect the two wires I patched to the relay just match up the colours up, easy

Keith,

I too travel some short runs (a mile maybe) and would certainly join the list if the idea can develop. I'd like the remore as well please.

OT, but Martin are you a user or supplier of stoves, the reason I ask is we are having an extension built and will be installing one

If you are only doing a mile or so I would not recommend running the FBH

Rule of thumb is run it for no longer than the journey time otherwise you could be heading towards a falt battery after a few days

Hi Keith any further update on Bob's bling box

Keith · 29th October 2007, 12:18

At the moment Bob has decided it was not financially worth while, with parts, P&P and labour assembly time plus a bit of profit he was strugling to do it for under £100 and at that price a Telestart is a better option as it offers far better range than any TX/RX combo he could buy within budget.

I still have the protype though which I will use myself one day

Just looking for a supplier of telestart (i.e. eBay) and can;t spot anyone at the mo. Any other sources out there?

Most of the sellers of tele-starts on e-bay are in germany but not many take paypal.

A telestart is just a TX RX with a Timer built in the TX
you could use almost anything as even with a Telestart you still need to build a control box with a few relays in it

Most car central locking units with a comfort switch option will do

The Rx and plip bob bought for the prototype was reasonably high spec as we were after maximum range and I think those two items alone cost nearly £40
