remote starter and alarm
 

do any of you guys have this on your trucks? i have alot of money into my truck and would like this for security purpouses..... if you do let mme know what brand and price. thanks

I have a auto page

If you don't have factory auto locks the price is higher then if you do

I paid around 300 for mine since I didn't have factory locks professionally installed took 8hrs

i have factory power door locks and windows.... sooooo will it be less for me?

Ya mine if I had power locks would have been 99.00 plus price of install

ok cool. so it will be like $150 installed? good deal. any recommendations on brands?

I go the autopage one my mom had one never had a problem with it.

My remote start will work around 1,000 feet away

cool. wha tbrand is it STL?

I bought two identical remote starts from walmart just over two years ago, one for my truck and one for my wifes car,they cost $39.95 each and then looked up a MOBILE electronics person who installs stereo equipment for vehicles at your house, he charged me $75.00 each and was done in less then two hours.

My remote starts have worked flawlessly for over two years now and my wife and I use them faithfully summer and winter.

I did make one small modification to the foot long antenna hidden under the dash, I spliced into the antenna and ran a wire all the way up my door frame pillar right up to my sun visor all while hiding it under the plastic trim and just left a 1 inch piece exposed for reception by the visor, my reception is amazing now!!!!

I am not sure if walmart still carries them but here is a link

My factory keyless entry/ALARM still works fine and in conjunction with my remote start.

What ever alarm you buy make sure it has a backup battery or it is about useless. Without one it is very easy to disable the alarm and steal everything out of you truck.

is it just the remote start and alarm, or just the remote start?

I got an alarm kit off ebay that came with the power lock actuators. Installed it and it works great. The only thing I have never hooked up is the remote start.

Only $119

wow thats cheap, but im pretty much looking for alarm and remote start..... but i guess i need the extra battery too.lol

I should have CLARIFIED a bit better, I bought only the remote starters, my truck has a FACTORY ALARM with KEYLESS ENTRY.

Check the alarm systems from crutchfield.com.
I had one of their crimestopper alarms installed in a vehicle & it was really nice. Tons of options for remote start (I didn't use it though), door locks, window roll up, pager, etc.

I used the door lock & starter kill along with all the motion/light/shock sensors.

I think they have crime guard now instead of crimestoppers.

It was a weekend install, but well worth the work.

I'd definitely get a backup alarm battery (not a 2nd vehicle battery, just an alarm backup battery) too.
I had an alternator voltage regulator go bad & killed my battery while at work. Not only did I have a non-starting vehicle, but it had no protection until I could get it towed home.

A pager would be nice too.
