Looking around town to get a remote start and maybe alarm install on the T. Have we figure out all the bugs on installing them without any issues? I remember a few years ago the passlock was a big deal to work around and all that good junk.

Thinking about going with Viper or anything the will have an AUX button rigged to the light bar, thanks for any info on the subject!

I have heard good things about the Viper system and am looking to install one in the future, so if you decide to go with it, keep us posted!

You already have an alarm and passlock built into the truck? Modern vehicles don't need outdated 90's tech cobbled into their overly sensitive electronics. I would never allow those places to 'install' an alarm with the hack jobs they typically do.

Being back in Colorado mean cold ass winters and I don't like the cold. Just need something to have it warmed up with heated seats when i head to pt at 0600.

I have a viper remote start on my 2006 H3. Was one of the first mods I did. I had it done by a friend was is a certified viper dealer. Don't really no how he did it because back then I was a complete newbie and didn't even know what a locker was. Works fantastic in the winter! It has MUCH farther range than a standard key fob. I really liked the one I went with, which was the LCD screen. This gives you confirmation on the key fob that the truck is locked. You have to charge it using a mirco USB. One thing though. When mine was installed, when you press the lock button on the key fob the tail lights, turn signal lights, and side marker lights DO NOT light up so the only confirmation you have is one the key.

I had a Viper w/remote start installed in my 06 H3 and then a Python in my 08 and never had a single problem with either system. Viper and Python, at that time, were identical except for the color of the remote. Both were made by Clifford Electronics.
If the place is reputable and has trained techs it is not hard to incorporate the system into the BCM and other systems on the H3 or any modern vehicle. And they do offer tilt sensors, cause people just don't try and drive a vehicle away when stealing them, they use tow trucks to pull them away. Not to mention tire theft.

However, I do believe Clifford offers just a remote start that can be incorporated vs. a full alarm system if that is what you really desire.

Kind of related. I have not looked for years, but does anyone make a remote start designed specifically for manual transmission vehicles. For obvious safety reasons, no such thing existed in the past. Didn't know if someone has since come up with something safe that works. My wife's Grand Prix had a remote start that I put in. Losing the warmed up car in the winter was toughest sticking point trying to sell her on the 5 speed when we bought the H3.

What model Compustar did you go with? I’ve been looking at installing one also.

This is what it is, everything is working fine right now and still love it. Only thing, horn doesn't go off when I lock the truck. The remote I got was a two way so it beeps at me to know it's looked.

Hummer isn’t on their their model specific list. I think customer support will advise on a specific combination.

This has the nicest looking remotes I’ve seen so far.
