Remote Starter

[Stevegt]

I am looking at geting a remote starter, does anybody have one in there trucks if so what kind?  Also how much did it cost im looking buy one and have them installed it but i want to make sure I go to a place that knows what there doing.  I asked the dealer last year and they were too expensive and told me they wouldnt warranty it if something happens because they are a big headache.

I have a compustar P2W900R two way, love it!! I know a guy here in Brampton that will do the install... he did mine. I bought mine off ebay from some guy in Markham, saved about $200 off Retail, then I paid a guy here in Brampton to do the install about another $100. Future shop charges $499 (i  think) for the remote alone, then you have to pay more for the install.



let me know if you are interested and I will hook you up with him, he also does other kinds of remote starters and sells back up cameras, etc.....

Thanks as soon as I can figure out which one I want to get ill get that number off you to have the install done.  Ive been looking on ebay for the model you bought and cant find that exact one, do you know anything about these car starter because I have no idea about them i just want something with good range and I want it to have an lcd screen that shows the startup.  Also the one you bought works as an alarm as well?

do you use the alarm setting on yours?  I think i might end up geting this one. Unless I can find somebody with a better feedback percentage.
