Nice score!

Welcome

Nice work Sean.

Thanks for the encouragement.

I haven't installed but I've shadowded a few of my friends at the shop. Depending on the year it's pretty easy... If you go the full digital Can-bus system (IIRC) it can be easy, but it doesn't always go right.. They usually manually tap everything because there is less to go wrong. I use the Avital 5303 (IIRC Alarm/Remote Start) I like it, the 2 way key fob is garbage though.. The range on it sucks... Although the 1 way is much better. I like the Viper stuff, very high quality but you pay the price. I paid around 400 installed total for mine. I was looking at the Viper systems yesterday. They are nice too. When I do an install in my GF's car I'm probably either going to take mine out and put it in hers or get her one of the upper model Vipers, or I might go with a smart start, however the delay is around 3 seconds. I think the smart start is neat, but my concern is how long until problems start surfacing using that system. Going to a local guys who has done a couple today and see what he has to say. Only complaint I've heard was the delay, Haven't heard much after that. You can install it, I have faith.. but the installers have access to VERY specific wiring guides online that lists all of them out which is a huge help. I have no doubt I can do it, I just want to hear what they have to say. They will give me anything I need because I help them out on the audio side. To be honest I never looked into these starters, so this is new to me. if you're not in a rush when I get back home and see if I can pick one up at employee discount. I appericate the offer and will let you know. Thank you.

Awesome job!

Is it easy to remove?

Thanks Ryan I am going to look at the Prestige units.

I am partial to the Prestige APS units. I have installed 4 on my own vehicles, but these were all simple, older vehicles, pre OBDII even. You will have to find a way around the factory anti-theft and that could void the warranty. What ever I get must go along with the factory system. Her car has a 60,000 mile warranty and I would like to keep that.

Hotdog?

On a serious note, has anybody installed a remote start unit? If so what would you recommend? I am looking at on for the wife's car and the dealership wants $700 to install a toyota unit.

I know I may be a little off, maybe I need to chilllll!

After what I handled today, I may be come a mad hatter.

Fresh tuna is super yummy!

Canon or Nikon. All depends on budget and use though as they have different audiences. Fast glass is a must, Sean taught me a thing or two.

Ok I was not sure, but figured I would offer.

Chop, I will get you some new pictures after Christmas wearing IAK.

Welcome

Takes a lot to go public.

With his camera?

Congratulations!!

I am not here to muck up Steve's thread, but good things are coming and Steve will be happy.
