to me their all the same thing. they all start cars. but i wanna know if im getting ripped off by this audio place. tell me if this is worth buying, or maybe i should move on. thanks

audiovox aps 686

http://www.brilliant-electronics.com...vox_aps686.htm

keep in mind, all i want is the remote start

 

no one can tell me if its good or not? or even if audiovox is good in itself?

 

sorry havent been the alarm game in awhile, no good advice.

 

i hear compustar is really good

 

its decent but dei is much more reliable. I would go for a DEI if i were you, just my two cents

 

do u guys have any links to them?

 

I had an audiovox years ago, never had a problem with it.

DEI:

The Viper series is a good choice.

 

Compustar. But get the fm and not SS. SS has interfernce problems. DEI is okay, but they have thier fair share (actually quite a bit) of problems. 0.02

 

Compustar sucks! trust me, i have been an installer for 14 years

 

the audiovox is really good, the same as dei, viper. excellent quailty

 

How do these remote starters work. You press a button and the car starts up. I'm assuming it is on a timer. But what happens if I want to drive away before the timer is up. Do i need to turn the car off and then start again? Explain please...

Didn't mean to

 

i hate this now. some people say its good, some people say its bad.

then it goes to another company, some people say its good, some people say its bad.

i dont know what to do.

 

Does remote start work on the 6spd?

 

NOT a good idea

 

Well I know its not if you park with it in gear...but I never do that...im always in N and the E brake up. Is that the only reason its not a good idea?

Its just an idea I had to get it because I was just around a friend that got it for his truck...its really cool...to get into a cooled off car

 

yes, can be done on manual trannys. just dont leave it in gear and start the car.

 

Ya know you would think they would have a sensor to tell if it was in gear or not. So if it is in gear and you try to start it the car will jump forward like normal?

 

You got it.

 

For the record, I always park in gear even if I’m not on an incline.
I don’t trust the E-Brake to hold the car securely.

 

There are very few times I have to put it in gear when I park but thats because my e brake needs to get the slack out...but when it works properly there are very few times I even need to pull it. Its way flat here :P

 

Even with my car in neutral, it will not start until I depress the clutch. I believe it is a safety feature to prevent just what you guys are talking about.

 

Yes it is but when you get the remote start I guess it makes it start w/o hitting the clutch so you can start it from away from the car. But if you are in gear it could not be good

 

But my e-brake is primary, gear is my backup.

 

i have the viper 600 series alarm with remote start on my 01 cls you need to have a vallet key hidden by the ignition so that it can read the chip in it. and yes you can put it on a stick you just have to do a clutch override. my friend has it on his crx 5 speed.

 

lets say u auto start ur car and u forget that its on auto start and u try to driveaway. once u hit the brake the car shuts off.

if u have it on auto start u put the key in and i think u turn it 2 clicks. if u go to da 3rd ull hear a really bad grinding nosie. lol.

 

well i have the clifford RSX3.5 and i love it no problems yet its a kick ass alarm find some1 who can get it wholesale or look on ebay the dei price is 149.99 thts what i paid plus install the retail it like 500$

 

what about ASTROSTART 2106XR.

anyone hear anything about that?
