what brand of remote start do you use.

MARS22 (ComfortStart) - very ghey remotes IMO ScyTek ASTRA1000RS - very "official" looking remotes and we can offer customers the "step up" to the GALAXY5000RS (RS/Alarm) or the 5000RS 2w-1 (RS/Alarm w/2-2way) I have a hard time installing a "RS" without doing Keyless Entry...i mean, c'mon...how you gonna give a customer a keypad with 4 buttons and tell them the only button that works is the asterik/start button? for that reason, i wouldn't mind getting the designtech POS...i like that it doesn't have a "lock", "unlock", "trunk" button on the remote. so when you ask me for RS and i show you the keypad you'll be getting, you'll be forced to ask for "Remote Entry" where I have to "bump you up" to the Scytek/Omega unit. maybe we should get a DesignTech just for that reason. hmmmmm.

I use and prefer autopage.. I have used audiovox, compustar, DEI (viper/python..even BOA, god forbid) Scytek/Galaxy, Crimestopper, Clifford/Avital (before DEI's bastardization) Design-Tech. Too bad the old clifford/avital is gone. I used to love their 6000 series with the nightglo remote.. Extremely reliable and feature rich alarm.. I'd like to try out code alarm sometime in the near future.. Got my eyes on the CA-640..not to be confused with the circuit city CA-645. To add to the list is Omega as well.

Get your hands on an astroflex remote start !!

I couldn't agree with you more KarTuneMan, once you get that sucker in the car it will last forever. Unfortunately, only you and I and along with the other professional installer know that. As you well know, being in the remote starter world of beauty pagent with brains won't get you marks, but being beautiful is what will win you the sale.        Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it.

I love DEI and wont recomend anything else to my friends. For the record I hate all those 2 way LCS systems. It doesnt matter where they get put in or the brand, almost everyone has complaints about them, in some form or another. Sometimes it akes 1 month, sometimes 6 months, sometimes 1 year, but I still find them to be an unreliable system and I think they were rushed onto the market before they were ready.double-secret reverse-osmosis speaker-cone-induced high-level interference distortion, Its a killer

I have been using the Commando product line for 2 years now and there products are great to install. As for reliability I have not had 1 unit come back with a problem. There Tech staff are very informitive and very easy to work with. In my opinion, for the money and the features you will be hard pressed to find a better more reliable brand on the market.

All of the above and MICRO to.......MO

Don't Learn from Others Mistakes

You Might Be the One That Knows.

I like those "I only use DEI" people... what a cult.
