i was thinking about getting this alarm/remote start...anyone have it?...opinions?...thanks a lot

 

I have it with all the accesories, but the remote start is not "enabled". This was needed to comply with the manufacturer specifications when using a manual transmision.

If you "hack it" to make it work, please let me know. Thanks.

 

do you like it?...no problems, easy to use?...i talked to a few places and they said they could make the remote start work, but i'd have to sign a waiver and not leave the car in gear, which i don't

 

How much did you pay total(equipment/install)?

 

i got a quote from a place for roughly $650 plus tax on parts (parts are about $350)...not too many places want to do it, 'cause if you damage your car, they could be responsible

 

Overall I like it.

I bought/installed it, from what arguably is "the best shop in the state".

As I said before, I added all the sensors/modules available. The works.... state of the art install. They took 3-full days. So in the end, the labor costs were more than the parts. Total $1400.

My advise: go to a reputable dealer, get the quote with all the stuff you want, and be preapered to go back once or twice to finalize all the details.

 

what shop did the install, that price seems kinda steep.

 

sick alarm - had it for 2.5 years, i have all the add-ons including remote start on a manual, i had them put a neutral safty switch, which means the car will not start up if it is in gear. Technically you are not suppose to add a remote start device to a manual car because of the consequence you can face, but if you know the right people and shop its all good. Only gripe I have about the unit is the batterylife of the Keyfob, and how easy it is to lose the battery cover. peace
