I had mine installed about 3 years ago at Circuit city and it is great...still works and no problems. I Bought DH one last year from Circuit city as well and it is fine too. Most places have alifetime warranty. I highly recommend getting one, especially in the winter..they are great!!!

Re: Remote Starters ( for Cars)

They are not all the same. Some have disconnects when you open the hood of the car, trunk release options and many other features that are great. DH bought me my first one as a gift and when we went to install it, our friend said he had much better for cheaper. I'd let the dealer show you.

There are many different types. I bought DH one for fathers day/anniversary and there were a few to choose from.

Re: Remote Starters ( for Cars)

I've been wanting a remote starter for years and still dont have one!! I think I'm just gonna have to go out and buy one instead of asking for it as a gift.

Re: Remote Starters ( for Cars)

I have one DH installed it and it is great! I couldn't live without it in the winter snowy days!!!! I LOVE it!

Re: Remote Starters ( for Cars)

I just got one installed..cant wait to have it for winter

Re: Remote Starters ( for Cars)

You should be able to get one at a place like Parkway Car Stereo for about $100 installed.
We paid that for my mom's two years ago, so I can't imagine they have gone up since then.
It's a Godsend...in the winter, there is nothing better than having the car a little warmed up before you get in.

I got mine at Cartunes in Farmingdale five years ago and have never had a problem with it.

be careful if you have a warranty on your car it will void it

Re: Remote Starters ( for Cars)

My remote starter on the truck is just a remote starter, nothing fancy. The car has a two-way receiver, so I can see "exhaust" coming from the car on the remote's screen when it is running. It has cut-off switches under the hood, and a pretty long range. I can also open and close the windows with the remote. There is a difference, but if you just want to start the car in the driveway, they all do that.

Re: Remote Starters ( for Cars)

OK, WHERE do I buy them? and any names to look for?

I want to get some cheap.....could we install ourselves or take somewhere to get installed if we have it already?

Re: Remote Starters ( for Cars)

DH bought me one last year for Christmas. We went to the place in Hicksville (I think!) on Old Country Rd between Jerusalem Ave and 106. It was a remote starter and key less entry.
