Inexpensive (Not Cheap) Remote Start?

All I need it to do is start the car. The only power thing on the car is the steering, lol. I don't need door lock/unlock, trunk open, alarm, GPS tracking and so on. I don't need a one mile range; the car is parked about 50 feet from my front door.

Would something like this be good? http://www.amazon.com/160xvl-1400xpl-Re ... 410&sr=1-2

Yeah, that one goes one-mile, but the price seems pretty good!

I have had a compustar that has worked flawlessly for a few months now. My friend who installed it has his own shop and caters to more high-end installs and recommends them as being quite a bit more reliable than the DEI brands.

Yeah, it's been getting down into the 20's now at night. I'm tired of going out to a frozen ass car in the morning. Plus, the baby doesn't care for the freezing temps too much either.

I know Caraudioaholic likes and recommends DEI systems, which is why I was looking at them.

Found this one too: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0046A ... nvihand-20

Looking around, I guess I don't need a 2-way system either. I can hear my car from just about anywhere I'd be using the remote start, lol.

If all you need is a remote start then the one you posted will be overkill for you... I suggest you go with just a basic remote start system unless you plan on removing it and placing it into another vehicle....

I have installed viper/DEI sytems for years and love them...

Prestige is still OK just have customer service issues with them so I dont deal with them anymore

If you want to save a buck or two I have a couple of used setups that I can prewire for you and have it all prepped and ready to go into your car...if interested PM me...

heres an example for you...

i'd be interested in one of those setups mate, provided you can also supply the parts needed for my mt.

If by my you mean manual transmission that's a whole other ball game. Viper does have manual safe remote start units but they are new and not that cheap... But key me know I can get just about anything you need

ya, it's a stick. if i could get one cheap i would but i'll be over 90k by next summer and trading it in in the fall so no point in throwing a lot of cash into it.

I saw that Avital one too. That would be just fine! Heck, $50 at that!

PM inbound as well...
