works good for the money December 22, 2008 Blueridgerunner (Stuart, Virginia USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this to replace another brand that never worked. I found it to be not that hard to install compaired to the other one (DEI-BOA). As a basic start/stop the car unit it seems to work fine.
not childs play to install, but affordable and effective December 1, 2008 Colin C. Gibb (Fort Wayne, Indiana, United States) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I got one of these units for Christmas ended up having to order the security bypass unit in order to get around the transponder key security. I also purchased the T-Harness for my car (highly recommended). I like that you can install none, some, or all of the optional features to make the installation much easier. I initially just installed the basic remote starter using the T-Harness, and then there are just a couple of additional connections (ground, and brake switch) that need to be connected. AFter about a week or so, I decided to install the parking light confirmation which just involved locating the right wire, and connecting one of the wires from the unit to it. I am not a mechanic, and I just started doing a few things on my own with my vehicle. This took me about 5 hours to install start to finish (including removing and re-installing dash/trim panels), but someone with more experience with these types of installations could probably do it much faster. I find the range to be okay -- enough to start it in the driveway or perhaps from a store if I'm in a close parking space.
JUNK from a BAD company January 14, 2008 nebraskabill (Lincoln, NE) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I have had this unit intsalled in my vehicle for 4 years now. I am a mechanic and bought the extra install kit for my pickup to help with installation and ti worked but the range was about 10 feet max. Now it has started to keep my starter engaged and has ruined 2 starters and a battery in my pickup and I cannot get a real person to answer the help line to give any information or warrenty info!!!! They are junk units, spend the extra cash and get a real unit that has a customer service on this planet.
tough but effective November 20, 2007 Flasktastic (Erie) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am not a mechanic or an electrician, but I am knowledgable in both subjects. I installed two of these units myself and they work great. They are VERY difficult to install yourself. Most cars require you buy additional security bypass units, so call the manufacturer and make sure you have all the parts before you start the project.
Don't Buy July 27, 2007 Diane Johnston (Maryland) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Even installers I took it to didn't recommend it. You cannot it install it yourself, unless you are a mechanic. The cheapest one to install it was $200.00. i returned it, they sent a tape, the ad stated DVD. They claimed Amazon misrepresented their product, they only returned $10.00 of the $70.00 I paid. Owner, manager never returned my calls. They claim I didn't return one of the parts (lie) and totally refused to stand by their product. i finally gave up accepted my loss. Call Amazon first, to see if they will stand by this, the seller will not. They were rude, and could care less. This was a Christmas gift for my husband and I was totally disappointed and disgusted. ONE STAR A JOKE, THEY DIDN'T HAVE NO STARS!!!
