remote start anyone?

[Kyle]

Okay, summer is coming up pretty fast here in SoCal, and i have a black hummer. It can be 85 out and ill park my car in the parking lot for an hour come back and open the door and im hit by 1000 degree air, and having all black interior doesn't help either. So, does anyone else have a remote start system? did you install it your self? how do you like it? would you recommend the brand? thanks!

Use the remote start money for sliders then do a remote start next time mod. That's my opinion, especially since you wanna start tougher trails. You can't do tougher ones unless you want to destroy your rocker panels

My remote start is a 5'6", 105# blue eyed blonde. I hand her the keys and say honey would you go start the car please.

I have the Audiovox Pursuit Pro9801a remote start/alarm installed on my H3T. It was a dealer-installed item when I bought the T new. Great system.

Kyle when you are ready to get a remote start I can get you in contact with a friend of mine. He lives in the SCV and works for Sonic Electronix in Valencia.

if you want a good brand any of the Directed Electronics Brands are great (such as Viper, Python, Clifford, etc)

Yes, Yes, I like it, Clifford.

I have a Clifford Avantguard 4 alarm with remote start. This is an old school alarm but IMOP that is a plus. I just took a look at the ebay and found a Clifford Omnistart for $40 with a $50 BIN. If you just want remote start without the alarm, this is what I would suggest. Clifford is now a DEI (Directed Electronics) brand but this unit is either from before they were bought out or right after they were bought out and still uses the Clifford design. DEI (viper, hornet, clifford) would be my second choice but an old school NOS Clifford is the way to go.

Whatever you go with, make sure it's installed by someone who knows what the hell they are doing. I was talking with my service advisor about a deuce I was test driving for a forum member and he was going to fix any of the problems the truck had, which included some remote start harness work in the dash that was making a God awful rattling noise. He said his guys usually end up removing a lot of remote start units because most are junk and end up giving the truck all kinds of odd fits and throwing codes. Not saying all remote start untis are bad, just make sure you get a good brand and have it installed by a pro.

I prefer that kind of remote above any other.....

I have the Viper and it works fine, but only if you remember to turn the A/C on when you get out. My only problem is when my big feet hit the brake getting in, the engine stops.

I miss it already. My RAM had it and it was wonderful in the heat and the cold mornings.

I won't be turning off the A/C until October, so that wouldn't be an issue for me here.

My H3 came with a Persuit, not sure what model, and I love it. But the only issue I have is knowing if it started or not. If you can't directly see the car it's hard to tell if it worked hitting the button. I think some models have some kind of feed back to the remote. And yes fully agree Alrock! Mine don't shut off either. And yes you learn to watch your feet getting in. If you hit the brake it shuts it off, it's annoying cause the stereo bluetooth just was all linked and pandora was starting to play when you get in.
