I have a 2005 Cadillac Escalade with an older Astro Start (Box under dash says Model BD / Part Number 392-127-304). The system seems to work fine, but the remote malfunctions and I can't seem to find a used one anywhere, so it may be time to replace. Remote is a NJQ500HAF.

I realize this is probably a long shot, but are there any units out there that would be "plug and play", in that the old wiring harness would match up with a newer unit? If not, any recommendations? I haven't ever wired one, but imagine that splicing the old wiring harness to the new unit would be fairly simple.

Thanks!

Here is a photo link to the box:

Also, for those of you viewing this who maybe don't have the answer, if you had to recommend a replacement auto start, what would you recommend? I don't know that I would go with it initially, but I do like the option of being able to possibly remotely start / track with a smart phone. Thanks.

You can still get a remote for that model. probably would be cheaper to buy a kit ( brain and 2 remotes vs just buying the remotes)

Any of the analog Astro start systems will plug in and work with that wiring, I think a 5325 is the model # of one of the newest ones.

what is the remote for the BD model? i bought a vehicle. couple months ago and the guy lost the remote.

Also isn’t the 5325 a digital?
