Actron CP7853 Remote Starter Switch

Comment: Longer wires are always nice, but you can extend them. This is a convenient tool.

Comment: it is easy to use and is great if you are working on a car alone and need to crank the engine and see what happens. Perfect if you need to check spark.

Comment: It is being used as a starters switch at an IHRA Deag Strip.
Removed the cable.
Installed a Tower Ready LED in the head.
Adapted it to the starters cable in my Track Computer system.
It has survived 2 years of being dropped, walked on, direct sun light, blistering hot days, freezing nights and even rain days on the starting line.

Comment: I have not tried the remote starter yet, but it feels like a really solid piece of equipment. Sometimes I'm dubious of products made in China (what can you buy that is'nt made in China) but I was pleased that it had such a solid feel. The aligator clips have strong springs, the trigger seems to pull smooth and also has a strong spring, and the body seems almost to be made of bakelite (tough resin). The included instructions gave good examples on how to hook the starter up to different makes of cars, which was a big relief. THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE INSIDE THE PAPER INSERT IN THE BLISTER PACK, DO NOT THROW THE PACKAGING AWAY! If you throw the packaging away with the paper insert, then you can only guess how to hook it up to your vehicles wiring, unless you already know. Still, you may have different cars/trucks you want to work on so, in that case you will be screwed.

Comment: We have used this remote starter for 13 years in the most unconventional manner. It is used daily not for starting cars but for starting horse races, dog races, quarter horse time trials and official timing of racing events. This trigger has far surpassed what we expected for the product and performs great with no failures. The grip is comfortable and easy to mount on walls with velcro. You can't go wrong with this unit.
