DIY challenge

Date:November 22, 2011
"I've installed 2 of these units in our cars, myself. One on an automatic trans, and the other a standard. One required a bypass. I wouldn't say they were really easy to install, but it can be done, if you're ambitious. The first one took me much longer. They are a powerful unit, so there are a few wires to connect. However, the installation help from the manufacturer has been outstanding. A+++ for service.
I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one..

Very Nice Unit. Love it.

Date:December 30, 2010
"It was my first time installing a remote starter and alarm and it was very easy to do. I bought it for my girlfriend's Tahoe and did not want to pay $300+ for the installation so I dove right in myself. Most of the install is very easy and you learn a lot doing it yourself. Some relays were required for trunk and door locks (Tahoe has positive trigger) but overall no big deal. Lots of information on the internet with wiring diagrams for specific vehicles. The hard part is making it look neat but some electrical tape and zip ties clean it up very well.
The alarm itself is very nice. I had a Compustar installed in the past and had nothing but problems with it. My father has had a Prostart 1-way for over 7 years now and it still works great. So when I saw this 2-way unit on sale for $189 I had to buy it! When it goes on sale again i will buy one for my own vehicle.
Most newer vehicles will need some sort of bypass for the remote start to work so expect to spend another $40-80."

Like it Very Much

Date:November 22, 2010
"Installed this into a Saturn sedan. Installation took a while as I had problems finding correct tach wire; second problem it took a while to bypass GM's Passlock 2 BCM. After that was done - voila. Works great. If you're going to install yourself - prostart offers you wiring diagrams for installation into your vehicle from their website. You may/may not need additional 12vdc relay's if you want to hook up trunk release, 2nd ignition (GM) etc.. You may also require resistors/diodes if you have multiplex door locks etc..
Once it is all hooked up - it is a pleasure to use. Good feed back from remote FOB. Initial beep alerts you starter has received your command. Then if successful, it will play a little tune. (These sounds are configurable during setup.) Another nice feature on this model is the blue flashing light on the antennae. Looks high-tech. Blinks slow when doors are locked, fast when unlocked, and goes off when driving.
Enjoy!"

Love It.

Date:January 3, 2009
"Got this when it was on sale for $99.99...what a deal! A Mechanic installed this item so I cannot comment on installation. However, it is such a joy to use especially up here in Labrador when it is -30. What I really like about this unit is it sends back an audio signal which tells you your car has started...and a programmable count down to when your car will shut off. Mine is at 15 minutes...oh yeah, it also sends you an audible signal when your car turns off too...and you gotta like that!"
