remote starter....., does anybody have it?? Options

[forkee]

some 7th gen was showin' it off at the meet last weekend. the car would turn on by itself and the bass was kickin'....all w/o anybody inside, creepy and cool at the same time so what are everybody's opinions on these things? i kno its pretty much useless (not like i need it) but it does have its cool factor when i just want to *BeEp *(engine sound) *(bumpin' music) from a couple of cars away. its around $130

I don't have one, but we put one on my step-moms '02 Impala. They are definitly nice when its freezing cold outside. A pain is the ass to put in though... If you have a stick, to remote start it you'll have to leave it in neutral too.

Yeah i have a remote car starter installed. i got it from bj's for like $40 and it works great. very easy to install.

i never got it on my ride...the people i bought the alarm from told me it would cost me a couple hundred extra cause i had a stick and everything so i didn't bother...i still want one tho...for show...and for the winter time so i can let the car warm up before i get in in the morning

if you go to the local stereo shop the will do it to a stick for like 250.

ive got one, and my only complaint is if its at night...

problems with it...

ya know when u start ur engine, the door locks automatically? well, ill disarm my alarm (unlocking the door), and then i'll start my car.. walk up, and the doors are locked because of that feature. so u'd either have to arm and disarm again after its started, or u can just start the car before u disarm it, to prevent from locking itself.

and then.. the lights.. if its nighttime, and u remote start ur car, ur lights will come on with the engine and all (if u previously left the lights on), but then when u remote shut it off (to show off), the engine shuts down, but the lights stay on because no doors were opened after the engine went off (which is what disables the ligths)... u know what im saying??
