im deciding on getting a real quality one and was wondering which kind of remote starter do you suggest me to get or will it ruin my car starter as well as other mechanical features on my car..

i was looking at this >>> Avital 4103 remote starter for my ( 2000 LEXUS RX300 ) but if you have any knowledge what so ever on these remote starters please let me know.... also is it possible to get just the remote starter and not the lock and and etc on the remote starter key since our RX300 already comes FACTORY WITH THE LOCK & UNLOCK STANDARD ON THE KEY

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH

 

I have a compustar and works pretty far and in building because it uses FM frequencies.

 

how long have you had it for and whats the delay time for when your car starts up when starting your car up remotely. how much was it

 

I just called lexus and they said they do not have a remote start kit for my 00 lexus rx

 

Delay is about 5-8 seconds. I think I got it for 350-400. You will have to go to like a audio shop which sells starters not from a dealer.

 

Do any of them use the stock key fob?? Or will I need to get a separate fob for remote start

 

thanks for you help but i still have so many question and im surprised that out of all these people who looked at this thread wouldn't answer and im pretty sure plenty of people on this forum site has a starter...

 

You have to be patient.

Just a question .. is the imobilizer disabled (or always enabled) when you have remote starter?

Take a look at Luxlink... I am pretty sure they sell a remote starter for our cars that allow you to use the factory key fob.

 

honestly i have no idea lol because i wanted all the insight about this from everybody before i went ahead and decided to do this...

but thanks for the reply

 

thank you and exactly how reliable is this luxlink because i never heard of them before and do remote starters drain your battery faster and does remote starter every mechanically hurt your car later on down the line.

 

Separate remote, don't think there's a way to use the stock fob if I could I don't think it will work far.

 

You talking about the cars battery? If so I don't think it will drain it. I've had a starter in all my cars and have had no problems.

 

ok thanks im just trying to weight out all of the negative and positives with this thing because i already have a hid system in my car as it is so i dont wanna put to much pressure on my electrical system

 

I just put the Viper 5501 in my RX450h. I also put in the Smart Start module so I can use my smartphone to start it anywhere via cell service. You can still use your factory keyfob but will need a separate one or a smartphone to start the vehicle.

I can open tailgate, unlock and lock doors, start and stop the car.

A starter does not add any drain to the electrical system at all. They work by fooling the car into thinking you are pushing one of the buttons on the keyfob or starting the car. It is no different than sitting in the car and turning the key. They also have built in features that will start if temp gets too low, wont start if battery is too low and others that can be set.

I have not owned a car without a remote starter for the last 20 years. They are a must for me.
