after market remote start. Anybody know of brands and functions
of remote start that should be considered? Thanks.
Defn stay with the Viper (DEI) product line. I have had a 571 (I think) for almost 4 years and no problems at all. The main function I enjoy is the fact that mine is two way. Meaning, when I activate it, I get a signal back to my key fob that tells me it started. That is a GREAT feature to have!Originally Posted by itsZep
My brother just bought a 2009 GX470 and was looking into getting an after market remote start. Anybody know of brands and functions
of remote start that should be considered? Thanks.
The other BIG thing to consider before you have it installed is what do you want it to do when the car starts as it relates to the lights? I highly recommend you tell your installer you want the parking lights to come on but NOT flash! By default, most will have them flash. It is very annoying to see flashing lights all the time while your truck is warming up or cooling off!
I will try to upload my manual so you can see some of the features. If you have any other questions, post away!

I got this one http://www.viper.com/P-4702V/Viper+5...e+Start+System Its awesome! I love it, easy to use and has crazy distance.
Are the remotes for these units small? Are they easily added to the car key chain?

It's the lexus remote. I know it sounds wierd but when I purchased the suv the sales rep demo it for me. Any other ideas?
sorry to be dredging up an old thread but after doing a search for "remote start in a GX470" this one came up.
anyway, i after reading this checked ebay and came up with this RSS2514XR ASTROSTART LONG RANGE REMOTE STARTER
does anyone know if this would work in an 06 GX470?

i'm still on the fence concerning the stellar remote start. apparently i'd have to get a transponder bypass and although it isn't expensive i barely have any time to do the install. i dunno.......

I asked two dealers about remote start. One dealer did an after-market install at the dealership with a cost of around $600. The other dealer took all cars needing remote start to a small auto remote start installer and had them do the work. I cut out the middle man and took to to this company myself and saved some $. The Viper cost me around $375.
Works great and is nice to have here in New England.
Great price. I live in MA as well, Saugus to be exact, Where is this place?Originally Posted by unabacia
