I have a 1994 Lancer (CB2A) car which bought about 6 months ago. When I got it the previous owner gave me a 4 button remote and said only the button labeled 2 is working for remote central locking. It's a kind of old remote with wooden/teak finish. I'm not sure whether this is an orginal one or a third party one. However it doesn't have a security alarm or flashing lights and worked without much of an issue.
But today morning I discovered a new feature accidently . If I press keys 1+3+1 then car ignition lights will turn on (without putting the key). I can start the car using the key afterwards normally. But I could not turn off the engine with key and I also can remove the key while engine running. If I press 1+3+1 remote combination again, then the engine stops.
Just want to know whether this scenario is normal ? If there are any more features with the remote, is there any way I could figure them out ? (since previous owner knew only about the remote central lock) Please share your thoughts if you have a similar arrangement.
...and just like that from having parking space issues a few month's back I'm car-less.
The cost of renting something for a month or two (even more - personal imports have been quite messy of late) made me wonder if it actually makes sense to buy a quickly disposable car and get rid of it in a couple of months - but it seems the 'popular' models aren't moving. A few messages to sellers (registered owners) on marketplace resulted in them sending me daily price reduction updates.
Sleepless nights have begun. I'm twisting between SL320 and SL500. Should I just pay additional 2000 euros more and go for the SL500 and go broke or settle with a SL320?

Hi friends,
