Title: Revo Select Plus - Need Help
Post by: illyun on July 14, 2009, 06:55:47 pm
Hi Guys.... I'm currently in Holland and tried to use my select-plus switch to disable the car - the security feature.  Problem is, that I forgot to bring the instructions and have never used this feature... can anyone help?  :scared: :sad:

Turn the ignition on, insert the select switch  with the dial set to anti-theft on and wait till you hear a beep.
Remove the switch and turn the ignition off...   :smiley:

Reverse the procedure with the dial set to anti-theft off to disable the protcction.

^^^^
As bacillus says, but wait at least 10 seconds when loading is complete. It gives the system time to settle AFAIK.

Ah, mine is only a Select switch, but if it's a clue : -

1 = Stock
2 = Performance
3 = Anti-theft On
4 = Anti-theft Off
5 = Firmware Update

Just a note when you switch anti-theft off (as in when you come back) the first time you fire up it may not catch immediately like normal, I assume the switch cuts the fuel.

As others have said it should tell you on the back which is anit-theft, its not ABC put it that way.  Unfortunaltey I sold mine with the car otherwise I would have had a look.

Not much delight in being stuck in an office block designing internetworks outside Amsterdam Schipol airport.. can't wait to get back.  problem is, that i have to repeat the experience every week for the next few months... still, its better than not being able to find work so I should be thankful for that.  :innocent:
