You should be fine with that if you are just looking for an unflashy remote starter for your corolla. I am not sure about reliability, but I have installed a few of these and they aren't too involved. Use their website for a wire diagram, but dont call them for support they will melt your brain with how stupid they are. I would never offer them to my customers as an option, but I have installed them when brought to me. Definatley dont get a bulldog.

haha, "don't get a bulldog". "Ooops" for what I bought in the past. What's your experience with Bulldog, jrilla? Just curious.

As for designtech, yea, i've heard people talk about them, and haven't heard much of a complaint. I agree, though, about their phone tech support. I've called them before and got a different answer every time I called. Awful.

I dont really have a lengthy or horrible story about Bulldog, but a friend of mine bought one from Sam's Club and I put it in and I couldn't believe that this model had a 16 inch 22 gauge wire for an antenna. I was thinking what is this for?, then i noticed there wasn't an antenna. I think I could have bought an antenna but what a hasslle to have to have to deal with that. The thing had something like a 25 ft range and no more than 100ft on a good day, anyway he had me pull it out and he wanted me to put in one that I sold and installed. Like I said I dont have a deep seeded hatred for Bulldog, but with that experience and the fact that I thought I would watch the video that came with it, which its only use became giving it to my year old son play with, I would just assume stay away from them. I mean the cheap ones are joke, and if you are going to spend more money I suggest getting something else.
