I installed an Avital 4103 on a 2003 Ford F-150 recently. It works great except it starts on its own intermittently. I dont think it is the timer feature. Anyone have any advice? thanks

I am not at all familiar with that brand of remote start units, some units will start the vehicle every few hours when temperature goes below freezing. It does this to help prevent freeze up.

some of the avitals have had issues with remote starting on their own (even when timer mode hasn't been started, and no temp starting). the word is that it's a freq issue with the antennas. the fix has been to program the unit for 2 pulse activation. DEI released new antennas for for some of the avitals, but rumor is the new ones aren't helping. best thing like i said earlier is to program the unit for 2 pulse activation

I suggest you check to see if the truck is starting every 3 hours or every 24 hours.

The installation manual explains the procedure. ------------- Ideal - cmon dude, add to topics in a useful manner, not stuff that is obvious.
Story - Phzzzt! Hey, what happened?! ... Isn't it obvious?
Moral - Never dismiss the obvious.

Had the same issue last year on aLondon taxi with actual alarm supposedly turning off, made the padlock button (Clifford, early G5) double pulse to arm or disarm, that cured it.

I agree with you. I have had this same problem with these units. Contact DEI for a new antenna and change programming to 2 pulses. ------------- Big Al
