Hey everyone, just got myself a remote starter as a christmas gift.. and i was wondering if its safe to install a remote starter on the LS430? Will any features be affected? or could possibly ruin the electronics in anyway?

any help will help..

thanks

Jimmy

 

nope... had mine installed and no problems at all!!

what kind is it by the way? theres some crappy systems out there that i wouldnt think about installing in my car

 

I got a Viper 5900 installed 2 weeks ago. Amazing! Now I get into a warm car and don't waste time to warm it up. There are a few catches though:
1. The steering wheel stays up and I have to press a memory recall button to put it back in position.
2. Now the remote unlocks all four doors with one click. Before the shop did: 1 click unlocks drivers door and two more continuous clicks unlocked all other doors. It worked for a few days and then didn't open the rest of the doors. So I came back and told them to do it in one click.
3. The alarm has 1 mile range but it will not work if you're parked a few blocks away with tall buildings in the way.
I paid $160 for Alarm itself (black friday deal) and $200 for installation that took almost 4 hours.

 

had a feeling you would get the viper 5900 i remember your thread asking for advice good deal you got!! i paid 300 total with instal and took 5 hours to install

 

My LS already had a remote starter when I bought it. I've never had a problem with it but I do have the same issue with the memory and the steering wheel that yuri.ber stated above.

 

wow you got a super good deal.

 

thanks for the input everyone. but are you saying that one of those cheap remote starters wont be any safe? or good?

 

good i doubt it... safe? hell no lol

i wouldnt put that cheap crap on any car i owned

 

Thanks, I also installed a Kenwood AMP for the sub. Now the system sound very good. I just have to dynamat the rear deck.

Thanks. When I came in to the shop the first time, they told me $500 including their alarm and installation (this shop is an authorized Viper Dealer). When I came in the second time with alarm in my hand they told me $200 for installation. When owner asked me the price I paid for alarm his jaw dropped. He told me that I got it cheaper then wholesale.
