Astrostart 2205 or AutoStart 2300?

I bought it  at Visions and I got warranty or at least they "said" I did also long  I was a licensed automotive tech.   I said " ok thanks I' m a licensed  auto tech so that will work fine".  Then the guy had the nerve to say well only  if you "really are"  is there  warranty.  Basically he didn't want to lose  the install money.  

JB's had the Astroflex and they were willing to sell it over the counter to me also.  We didn't get into the warranty issues if I did the install.  Like I said looks like a great product just didn't feel it was worth the extra 100 bucks for what I needed.

If your really worried about warranty get a unit from Canadian Tire.  I know they are not as fancy but if you want a basic starter the prostarts work.  I darn near bought one  back when I was shopping they had one sale for half price but it wasn't a 2 way FM model like I wanted.  When comes to CT if you complain you'll get warranty on just about anything and more.  Actually I think they have a  FM 2way unit on sale now with an alarm. 

 But for curiousity sake what makes the Astroflex easer to install in a 1998 transport over other brands like the Autostart I have in mine??   I needed 2 ign. 1 acc. 2 power feed,  all at  ign. switch.  Then Tach, hood pin,  ground, brake, parklights,  lock and unlock wires .   No relays no modules just  a  straight wire in job.   Or as we used to say in the trade a gravy  job  when your getting paid flat rate. .

 I don't think Certified Radio carries Auto Start at least by me. I tried ph. them for prices but I couldn't get through.  Everyone I know who has got one put in there  got an  Ultra start  unit put in.  That's what they push & advertise on the radio all the time anyway.   What ever brand it was sounds like it wasn't installed correctly.   I know the way my locks work it only requires a  low amp - pulse to trigger a relay.   Bit  if  one needs a higher amp  door lock out put  you must wire in a relay with Autostart.  If astroflex has those built in thats a bonus for sure.  Like you say for more complicated installs the astrofex maybe the way to go for sue. 

As for the drivers door  & priority door lock thing my factor keyless entry has that and I didn't like it!  With all the kids I would always have to hit the darn button twice to open all doors.  I quite like the way I have it now with the remote starter where it opens everything with one push of the button.

Man you guys are lucky there in Oh Canada....you cant hardly find a remote starter in Wash. state without asking for it.  Even @  the BIG car audio joints!  If poeple around here understood the benefits of having one, I might have less time on my hands.

Hell you guys can buy one at the local tire shop.....WoW
