Who's got the best deal on Remote Starters?
-
Sorry to hijack your thread but I heard an ad on the radio that Tintmasters will install them in vehicles with manual transmissions. Is this true? I'm getting old, so maybe I was hearing things again....
I only ask because I went out there personally about a month ago and the guy behind the counter said they did not.

i think there is a huge liability on manual vehicles with autostarts.I believe it...and I'm sure that's why I've only been able to find one place in town (that i know of) that will do it. They want around $250 to install a 2-way (that I already own) in my manual.

My prices start at $225 installed for a one-way unit. That price includes Remote Start, Keyless Entry and Electric Remote Trunk Release....and two remotes (key fobs). My top of the line 2 way w/ up to 6000' of range starts at $325 installed (again, Keyless, Remote Trunk if applicable...) Bypass modules can add to the price, but I only charge what I pay for them so usually that is less than $50 additional if you need one.

That's a good question. It came out of an automatic 2005 F-150 that I turned in when the lease was up.
The other place I talked to that said they could do the install said that they may need to add a couple of components, but could do it for that $250.
So to answer your question, I'm assuming it'll work with a manual simply because I was told by an install shop that they would do it for me. But I'm the first to admit that I'm no expert, so I can't tell you for sure. Would having the model number help? It's out in my garage.
Thank you.

Sure would.

so will TM do them for 179 in an manual?

chuck, we will have to talk this spring.How much for a 2way on a 05 Colorado? Range around 2000 feet.
$315 for the Ultrastart 3280XR Pro
$45 for XK06 bypass kitPersonally, I'd spend the extra $10 and get the Ultrastart 3285XR Pro

I had asked Jason at TM about the autostart for a manual a while back for my dad's truck. It costs $75 more for the manual ones, and I'm pretty sure that's installed. It's more because you need an extra set of wiring for it. So for the cheapest it'd be like $254 for a manual.

Sure would.I guess I shoulda said initially that it's an AstroStart. And I have the unit in front of me but can't find the instruction manual.
There are model and part numbers on the back of the brain, but I'm assuming those numbers are probably just for that part, not the entire unit itself.
So not knowing exactly what model number it is, I can tell you that it's a 2-way that **doesn't **have the little display screen on the remote. It confirms that it started by simply vibrating the remote w/flashing lights at the top.

I wish I could tell you the guy's name but I didn't get it. When asked, he even went out into what I'm assuming was the install bay and asked someone else - came back and said that you guys wouldn't do it.
