hi all me again,

now i'll probally be annoying all you fellas for quite some time as i said previously im doing a project https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/forum_posts.asp?tid=41872&PN=2 <-- read there for details.

im looking for peoples views on the cheapest remote starter they know of. now i dont really care about range infact the weaker the better as it will be getting hotwired for a starter button inside the car (secruity issues will be dealt by the other part of the project)

i dont want any fancy add ons, or alarm features, simplier the better, all i require is that its reliable thats all, o and cheap :)

thx for reading

Really, all U need is a Timer and Relays. Then start wiring
U could hook up to existing Alarm/Keyless Entry
Or cheap Keyless Entry or Button
There is also a Clock type Timer to set when U want it to start or function

Search ebay for DIY designtech.. they are easy to use.. real basic stuff.. if mo12v is unable to help you that is...

but be aware.. you get what you pay for with car electronics.. id say atleast 30% of the designtech sh*t i open is defective..
