Hi everybody. I was wondering if the experienced installers could give me some advice. I will be installing a remote start in my new car but want to take it out when I give car back at end of lease. What connections would be best for this? That leave the least amount of wire cutting? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mar

Solder and sleeve and buy a new loom at the end of the lease.
Otherwise the best quality would be Molex Sureseal, very expensive and you should have special crimping tools for the terminals, else probably your local Radio Shack or Mouser or Farnell on line.

how long is the lease? Most remote start installs you should not be cutting wires anyway to wrap and solder. dont tell the dealership. Just install it and take it out before you turn it in. They will never know.

they wont go over every inch of your car when you turn it in, including the wiring unless there is something obviously wrong with the cars electrical system. install the alarm the best way possible with solder and tape/heat shrink to avoid creating actual problems with the car due to bad connections. if you do it right then they will never ever know that something was installed in the car.

If there's a siren involved, either zip-tie in a secure location or use a metal perforated strip of the type you once got with car radios and with that bolt the siren to an existing bolt.
If you have to drill a hole for an LED and or valet switch use a switch blank that you can replace.
