Thanks again! The $350 price for both actually includes the t-harness as well, it's auto added to your cart at $0 on checkout once you select your vehicle. The 4905s actually went for $250 installed a few months ago but haven't seen that price cycle again, guessing cost of goods increase in pandemic era. $350 still seems like a good deal though. Of all the vehicles I've had done I've only been upcharges once for a $12 relay, so I've been impressed this far.
I will check out that remote. Wrt install quality, I've had 5 vehicles done at my best buy and these particular installers seem solid. I had to get to mine to add the drone module after install and upon inspection it looks to be properly cable managed and secured. The few manual taps I could see look to be heat shrinked. I had to access one of the taps for something else and upon removing the heat shrink, I was pleasantly surprised to see the connection was soldered cleanly.
I had done a few remote start and alarm installs years ago before t-taps and key emulation modules were mainstream (prob around the time I registered here) But as I've gotten older I've lost the patience lol. Seems like it's somewhat easier now with t-taps, but also seems like you need proprietary programming tools now as well. I almost got stuck activating with the drone-mobile module, but when I called and explained the situation the rep was nice enough to help me out. :)
Wrt push to start takeover being blocked on some models, I'm probably over simplifying this, but couldn't this be bypassed by adding a relay that grounds the door switch sensor when remote start is activated, e.g. when remote start is running, the door sensor always stays closed (or floats, not sure of what state it's in when "closed") regardless of the actual door state? Or is the issue still having the cars smart ignition take over? Just thinking out loud. I know cars nowadays are more advanced and no longer binary "+/-12v triggers, but rather data in many cases.
Anyhow, thanks again! Glad to see this place is still as helpful as ever!
