A: This tilt switch is made of plastic and rubber materials.

Q: What is the weight of this tilt switch?

A: The weight of the tilt switch is 0.03 pounds.

Q: WHAT is this for ?

A: Prevents a remote starter from turning the engine on when the hood is open and your hands maybe somewhere where you wouldn't want the engine to be running. A safety feature.

Q: Is this required for installation of a Pyle backup camera? It was recommended as part of the package.

A: My understanding of tilt switch is for only one reason, to keep someone from being hurt if the engine is started by a remote. The vehicle could be out of sight when the remote is used. You can run the engine with the hood up, just can't use remote to start.

Q: Does this require a relay to power a led light? I want to use it to turn on/off a underhood led light when the hood is opened or closed.

A: undefined

    It is working every time.

    I got this Ball Bearing Tilt Switch because I bought the remote start for my SUV and it needed it for it to work flawlessly, and it does. It arrived nicely packaged, it mounts easy on the vehicle so it is not so visible. Overall it works great, easy to install, and it is working every time.

    Ball bearing tilt switch & Compustar Remote Starte

    Purchase the ball bearing tilt switch and Compustar 1-Button Remote Starter for my 2015 Jeep Unlimited. The Compustar Remote Starter works flawlessly and very easy to use. The techs at Bestbuy that installed the system in my vehicle are knowledgeable and professional in their work. I have purchased two more of the Compustar Remote Starter for family member in 2017 Christmas gifts (Buick and Honda vehicles). Purchased another one for my fiancé vehicle which is a 2018 Hyundai. Like I said they all work flawlessly. I would highly recommend it to friends And families.

    Remote start setup

    This was recommended by my installer for the remote start system we added to my older 90s toyota 4runner. I feel like it's a newer car again.
