Remote Starter ?

I live on the West Coast now so I currently have no need for a remote starter, but when I lived on the East Coast I had one in all three of the cars I owned (Lived there a long time, did not have three cars at once) and I loved it! No cons, all pros. The ones I had were made by Direct Electronics, highly recommend DEI products. Good price and very dependable.

Yes, I have a remote starter!
I had a remote starter put on my car as soon as I bought it. It cost $322. It is worth every dollar imo. I keep my car parked outside in NE PA. I leave the seat heater and defroster on high when I park my car at night and voila' my car is toasty and warm when I get in. The brand is code alarm. It comes with a lifetime warranty and the warranty is transferrable to any other car you put it in. good luck.

No Problems Here!
I had H&R Radio in Allentown install it. They have been in business for something like 50 years. They have a good rep. They used my valet key, but not before grinding down the metal part of the key for security purposes, mounting it under the dash, inside a special electronic wireless box. It works great with so far no electrical gremlins. pls keep in mind I have only had the car for 1 month. It has an effective range of 800 feet. I'm very happy I have it.

I just got a remote starter put on my 03 sedan about 2 months ago and it works great. I got one of those add on kits from Omega because I wanted to be able to start my car with my factory remote. I also got the same done to my 2000 I30t and no problems with either one. Cost: installed $150 each. Just hit the lock button twice and it starts the car.

I agree w/ them...it's a must. I had one put in 2 months ago and love it...it's a Viper alarm/starter combo (approx. $400, due to alarm, starter, module for valey key and the truck pop option). You'll have to sacrifice your valey key w/ the chip, so they can place it in a module that's connected to the remote starter; otherwise your car won't start. I never used my valet key in my old car...so not that big a deal. The sooner you get it, the more you'll get out of it.

If you use a system that permanently inserts your key chip into it, then you're bypassing the anti-theft features of the key. Then you need to consider getting an aftermarket alarm system or your car is a sitting duck for thieves. I think there are some high end systems out there that don't need your key to work, and they preserve the car's anti-theft features.
