Anyone know a place to get a remote start and get it installed? Any reccommendations for one?

Preferably someone who knows what they are doing so they can set it up so that the alarm/immobiliser doesn't turn the engine off when doors are opened etc.

Thanks.

I dont remember the exact name of the ppl that did mine but if you look in the Trading Post in the Auto section they're the ones that come out to you...Although its usually accompanied with an alarm setup....

They've got 3 different packages to choose from which give you different features....

ye they should, mine wont start in any gear other than reverse or ofcourse if its in neutral

What happens if the safety mechanism fails and it accidentally starts and runs over a kid? then u go to jail. Same things with turbo timers, they are illegal too even though pretty much everyone has them :laugh:

Remote engine starts are a smart idea but ever since my car started in reverse while i wasnt in the car i havnt used it other than one in a blue moon to show some 1 how it works

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
