Adding Remote Start to Factory Alarm?

did anyone ever add a remote start to a factory alarm?? i have someone who hasa 06 envoy and doesnt really car about a full featured alarm jut wants the R/S can i do that

Yes you can, they sell remote start only units, most alarm manufacturers have one or two independent remote start systems.  And if Im not mistaken I believe there are a few out there that are designed to be added to your factory alarm so you dont have to use two remotes.  Anyway if you post back here with your car year make and model Im sure someone can help you find out if your manufacturer has an in house remote starter, as most of the big ones do have an option for that these days.

06 Envoy.....is what he said in his post. Most manufactures have stand alone R/S. Im not sure if your talking about using the factory transmitters for the remote start ??? Astro, Compustar, DEI, and AST.  pick one!

about two days ago I put an Avital 4000 on a factory alarm.  Whatever remtoe start you get all you have to do is hook up the negative remote start input to a negative pulse (as door lock output).  With two presses of the unlock on the factory keypad, the car would start.  Actually is easy since you dont  have to mess with installing as many wires as you would a straight up remote start install.

Sorry I didnt notice the 06 envoy part of his first post, it was early (only up at that time because of a 9.a.m class).  sounds like 97f150 did what I was talking about.  I do know that GM offers at least one factory remote start system with the factory remote and everything, I actually think they have a few different ones.

I like the Pursuit As9075t. It connects to the motor legs just like a keyless uprade, so to start you press lock, unlock, lock.Mike M2

does anyone have more info on the Pursuit As9075t i think they might want to go with that thanks

Why would you want to use factory remotes?  My factory remotes barely work from my front door to my driveway.  You could go with a R/S that is capable of arming and disarming factory security.  What good would R/S be if you can't be more than 30 feet from the vehicle?Keith
