    Welcome to the IHoP

    Glad we don't have people like that here and the ones we do are watched.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    Be careful of what advice you take from Sean. I listen to him a lot and the next thing I am wondering why I settled for what I had or was using. Take the BGE I was happy cooking on a gas grill, but after reading what everybody was saying about the BGE and Sean backing everything up, well I ended up buying one and cring when I see others using a gas grill. All his advice is good and will always keep you going in the right direction reguardless of the question or person.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    I haven't installed but I've shadowded a few of my friends at the shop. Depending on the year it's pretty easy... If you go the full digital Can-bus system (IIRC) it can be easy, but it doesn't always go right.. They usually manually tap everything because there is less to go wrong. I use the Avital 5303 (IIRC Alarm/Remote Start) I like it, the 2 way key fob is garbage though.. The range on it sucks... Although the 1 way is much better. I like the Viper stuff, very high quality but you pay the price. I paid around 400 installed total for mine. I was looking at the Viper systems yesterday. They are nice too. When I do an install in my GF's car I'm probably either going to take mine out and put it in hers or get her one of the upper model Vipers, or I might go with a smart start, however the delay is around 3 seconds. I think the smart start is neat, but my concern is how long until problems start surfacing using that system. Going to a local guys who has done a couple today and see what he has to say. Only complaint I've heard was the delay, Haven't heard much after that. You can install it, I have faith.. but the installers have access to VERY specific wiring guides online that lists all of them out which is a huge help. I have no doubt I can do it, I just want to hear what they have to say. They will give me anything I need because I help them out on the audio side. To be honest I never looked into these starters, so this is new to me. if you're not in a rush when I get back home and see if I can pick one up at employee discount. I appericate the offer and will let you know. Thank you.

    Thanks Ryan I am going to look at the Prestige units.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    I am partial to the Prestige APS units. I have installed 4 on my own vehicles, but these were all simple, older vehicles, pre OBDII even. You will have to find a way around the factory anti-theft and that could void the warranty. What ever I get must go along with the factory system. Her car has a 60,000 mile warranty and I would like to keep that.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    On a serious note, has anybody installed a remote start unit? If so what would you recommend? I am looking at on for the wife's car and the dealership wants $700 to install a toyota unit.

    Canon or Nikon. All depends on budget and use though as they have different audiences. Fast glass is a must, Sean taught me a thing or two.
