Who's got the best deal on Remote Starters?

[Joel]

you should sell yours and just buy one installed. usually you will pay just as much to install your own as the unit itself it the cheap part.

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.

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.

Is your autostart designed for use in a manual? If so, I'll do it for $175. If not, I won't do it at all.

Tjamz does good work....:) Not sure if tintmasters does manuals.

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.

[Guest]

Sure would.

[GarageAlchemist]

so will TM do them for 179 in an manual?

[DaveH]

Don't you just need to tie the auto start into the e-brake on a manual car? Or is there actually a neutral safety switch also?

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 kit

Personally, 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.

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.

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.

idk who the guy is, but we do do car that are manuals

I gathered that by the radio advertisement I heard the other day.

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.

by chane you remember what he looked like??? that might help me out since i work there. did you ask if we would install the astrostar that you already have?

It was a while ago, but I recall him being around 5'10" and thin...around 150 maybe? I know that probably describes about 90% of males in this town, but that's about the best I can do.

I did tell him that I had the 2-way AstroStart from another vehicle and wanted it installed in my 5-speed. He wasn't sure so he went and asked....you know the rest.

Thanks.

[Bunique]

It wasn't me!

[tapout]

And not that it helps but he was chattin' it up with a couple young females which I totally understand.

And don't misunderstand me; I don't want to get anybody in trouble for this. The guy was very polite and curteous. He just gave me the answer someone else fed him. So it's really no big deal.

I think it is fair to say that most shops don't like to install used autostarts unless it is their own brand and they were at least the ones who removed it.
