Best Remote Starter

Never heard of Astrostart before anyone has heard of them before ? The page looks poor and not quite profi :)

I live in Canada and have used Astrostart....IT SUCKS...end of story, DEI is the way to go, they bought out all their competition and combined all the technologies...they know what they are doing

the only people i know that have problems with astrostart are in experienced installers the astrostart is definately more compex than others but in the hands of an experienced installer, the shys the limits babySteve Sverdahl

The verdict on the marketing strategy is that by packaging the same items under a different brand they do not run into licensing conflicts with retailers operating in the same area (ie best buy & circuit city, etc etc). Technically speaking, DEI is not offering the "same" product, and can therefor market their "different" products in stores within close proximity of each other, reaching more customers and capturing an overall greater % of the market share, without breaking any contracts with retail chains.

Let me put my 2 cents in here. Just so you all know, I will let the cat out of the bag. DEI, Audiovox, Magnadyne, Omega and many others are made in the same factory in Taiwan. Nu-Tek. Dei is no better than everyone else. Great marketing deparment. They have the best support I feel and do a very good job with there instructions. They also will not warranty anything that was not professionally installed. I find DEI's tech data second to none. And I don't sell there products anymore. My favorite alarm and or remote start is still Audiovox. For the money they give you a great product. It's made in the same factory and they now have a great tech support website. I have used DEI's website up till now since they have changed the infamous 122t password. I also use Omega's website but I find it filled with many mistakes. I have been in business for 20 plus years now and I know them all. Code Alarm still brings chills to my spine. Audiovox bought them for the OEM car business. Daryl Issa started DEI and I was one of his first customers. I stopped buying when his reps insisted I buy product I did not want and I could not get product warranteed in a timely fashion. Audiovox warrantee's everything I have a problem with and I will admit I don't have many problems with there product. Usually remotes but they just give me new ones without even asking what's wrong with the one I am returning. I am impressed with the new product and will keep selling them as long as they stay reliable. I have used just about all of them. I installed a remote start yesterday called a Vampire I believe. Guy bought it at a computer show for $100 bucks and he got a what he paid for. It had the one pager remote and that was all. No start kill, and features were minimal. It worked Ok but the wiring was thin and I did not care for it. It looked like a Dyna Crap to me. You cannot go wrong with Audiovox by my opinion but what the hey, I have been doing this for thirty years now and have seen just about everything. I use to install the old key in the fender and firetruck siren under the hood. You can call me the old man on the block. DanDan
