I just bought the Astrostart / Astroflex 1105 and wanted to know is this a difficult system to install?  I heard it one of the best so i bought it.

Unfortunately, the store I work at sells Astrostart.  It is a well made product but installation sucks !!!  If you are not familiar with remote starts it will be a nightmare.  I've been installing them for about a year now and it still takes twice as long to do than any other systems.  I've done DEI, Avital, Ungo, etc., for several years and they are so much simpler.  I do think the 1105 is the easiest of them to do but it still takes forever.  What kind of vehicle is it going in??  Good Luck !!

2001 Nissan Altimma.  I'm just waiting for 5 relays that i ordered to come in then i will start this weekend.  I have put in a remote start before so i have a pretty much idea about what to expect.  It took me all weekend for that one so i expect the same time (if not more).  I know it will be hard, that's why i'm trying to get all the wire diagrams i can get my hands on.  Do you by any chance have access to the AstroChart?   I would sure appreciate it if you canget me all the info (including pics) about the wire diagram for my car.

TIA

I have just bought a 1999 Dodge Caravan equipped with an Astroflex remote. I don't see a model number on it, but it has 6 buttons and a switch on the side.  It worked great for a week, but then the van refused to start with the key.  It would however start with the remote, but a small red light on the dash flashes continuously now.. At the same time, one brake light failed for no apparent reason.  I do not have the owners' manual for the remote system, so it's entirely possible that I accidentally armed something and can't figure out how to disarm it.
Can anyone help?

magoo_ns : Check and replace the broken brake lamp bulb because this may be giving the system an error and not allowing you to start the vehicle with the key.
