Where to go for Remote Start?

[mlomker]

I had a Viper installed at Mach 1 quite a few years ago. Good service.

For future reference, I went here to http://remotelystartedmn.com/index.php

It's a guy out of his garage, but the prices are great and it only took him an hour to install. I guess he is shutting down for the season, but has someone he refers work to.

I was looking there as that was where I was going to get Katy's car done. But it says he's done for a couple months...? :(

[turbotalon1g]

Yeah, I asked him about it. He says he was getting slow and his other job is going over 40 hrs a week.

However, he has a friend that does the same thing that he is referring people to, my cousin also has a guy that does the same work with Python systems I believe if you want to try that route.

Talk to 311evo, he used to be (maybe still is) an installer for Best Buy.

Not anymore, I worked at a custom audio/remote start place for about 4 years, and after a year at Worst Buy I had enough.

If you're going to get it done at a best buy though, the guys at the Minnetonka store (accross from the Mazaratti (SP?) dealership) are excellent. They do high quality work, and they do it quick. That's the only store I would trust.

Aftermarket remote starts are typically shitty quality and fail in a short time or start doing funny things. We fixed them all the time at the shop I worked at. (By removing them! lol) OEM ones are the best.

No, they dont. I had to deal with a lot of dumbass dealerships that would blame everything on the remote start. I would remove everything for them, and then look! all of the problems are still there! Viper units for example are high quality and hardly ever fail. If something isn't working properly, it's an installation issue and not a hardware issue.

OEM remote starts are kind of a joke. They'll get the job done, but that's like comparing a Nokia from 1999 and an iphone/droid. They'll both do the main task, but one will have a lot more options/expandibility/uses.

I like the Compustar stuff. Seems like it's decent stuff, at an affordable price. So if anyone can recommend somewhere that sells, and installs, Compustar setups please let me know :)

Compustar is decent along with astrostart.

Just order one online and get a vehicle diagram from the12volt.com. I'm guessing you could handle it pretty well.

I put mine in myself. You can do it.

I'm sure I "can", but I don't want to. It's for the ladies Daily Driver, and it's her xmas present. I just want to have it installed by a pro, and I'd prefer to avoid Best Buy, while at the same time avoid Joe's Basement Backyard Git 'R Done Shack. Just find someone or somewhere reputable.
