The pushing of the button is just a system test, a test of the alarm, as far as I know. I believe the monitoring function to be engaged automatically upon ignition.

Thanks Jake

First of all, Thanks Jake. I think IMSG is brilliant! you should've done it before IMSR.

I really don't understand what are ppl ********************ing about.. There is a problem in our cars.. just like AOS, water pump, and control arms.. IMS bearing is one of the weak links, Jake just providing an "Aftermarket" solution.. don't like it.. change your IMS bearing with a new OEM one, it's only 70$
Also about 3000$ investment.. IMSR is 600$, try changing your IMS bearing with OEM one.. you will be down 2K$, Jake didn't designed the engine.. Porsche did.

That said.. I'm one of those ppl who will NOT change preventively IMSR, my car is worth 9K, with a blown angine 3-4K, paying 3K to update IMSR .. I cann't justify that.
However, I, just like about anyone else, when the time will come to change the clutch, will update IMSR with Jake's bearing. I could go with OEM and save 400$ but I will probably go with "aftermarket" one.

That's where we come to IMSG, I don't want to preventively update my IMS, my clutch is still going strong at 76K miles.. I want to wait until it gives up(clutch) before changing it.. IMSG is the piece of mind (if it works) I can get while waiting for my clutch to die.

If you feel that 400$ is a worthy investment for piece of mind... go for it.. if not.. don't

Nobody is screaming about aftermarket AOS.. ppl actually love it.. so why cry about IMS?
