The LI runs like this: switch on, you get the message 'Welcome ....'; switch off, you get no message.

The STEALTHnode you send me starts OFF (I have the POWERnode too).

Because when I press on the keyfob near the glass, I get the Welcome message every time: switch on , then switch off, then switch on with the welcome message, etc...

When I press the keyfob near the gear lever (between the two front seats), often I hear nothing. After, I press the keyfob near the front glass, I get the welcome message.

Thanks for your help.

Hello.

I move the STEALTHnode near the front glass. No the remote works very well. I think the range is very short but not a problem now.

Now I think I have a last problem with the POWERsense. Sometimes it switchs off the power a few times (less 1 mn). I tried with it, and all seems work well several hours. I will do more tests and tell you if the problem stays.

Thanks.

I'm pleased you have it working properly. There has to be something unusual about your car's set up for this to have been an issue. Range is not normally an issue.

Regarding your power supply - check your connections

I write a mistake:

Look closely at the POWERSENSEnode after you have started your engine. Are you seeing a little Red LED inside the plastic casing lighting up? this will tell you if it is working or not.

Yes the red light works just after starting my engine. The problem is too quick too see the POWERsense. It happens when I drive several minutes. Maybe heat? But where is the POWERsense, it's cold.

I drove several hundreds km without the POWERsense. Only Fuse pack -> STEALTHnode -> LI. No problem like this: the LI staus in run durind several hours of driving.

I just add the POWERsense like this: Fuse pack -> POWERsense -> STEALTHnode -> LI. The problem begins ten seconds after, durind drinving. Sometimes the LI swichs off: I have to push the ON button on the remote to swith on the LI.

I din't know why. During the engine runnig, I moved every connectors especially the connectors of the POWERsense. The was no problem: the LI stayd on.

I tried to put the POWERsense in a hot part near the engine. And I accelerate the engine to increase the heat during 10 minutes. The compunds was very hot but there was no problem.

I don't understand where is the problem. Allyoops, do you want I send the POWERsense to check it?

Please do that.

There are some cars the POWERSENSEnode won't work on (Hybrids, mainly) but we haven't had an issue with Renaults before.

For everyone's information, the issue with hybrid cars is that the POWERSENSEnode is an engine running sensor. Hybrids are constantly switching their engines on and off so the POWERSENSEnode keeps thinking the car is being switched off and it does its job of shutting the jammers down.

Basically Hybrids drive it nuts so if you want to use a wireless kit on a hybrid you need to remove the POWERSENSEnode and hardwire it the kit to a switched 12V power supply in the engine bay.

Thanks. Where have I to post the unit? At DUNBLANE?

Yes please
