Remote Start

Remote Start
I'm planning on installing remote start on our 04 SS Supercharged by winter time. I called the dealer and they said it didn't have factory remote start. Nothing fancy, just start and stop. I'm a certified mechanic and I've installed them myself on my past 2 cars, plus several on customers cars. I didn't really like the 2 I had on my last Bonnies. The one on my 94 bonnie (i think it was a directed electronics) had crappy range and the one on my 99 bonneville (astrostart) also had bad range and was a pain to program
What are some recommended basic remote start systems and security bypass modules? Mainly I'm looking for one that has a somewhat decent range and that just starts and stops the car and is simple to program. Hopefully something under $100. Thank you for any suggestions

But make sure you dont go to the american site go to autostart.ca its the canadian one there units are better, and for bypass modules ide suggest going to flash-it.com they make bypass modules its whats in my car I think the part number is FLCAN

Take it to a dealer or call a dealer and ask them to run a check for you. if your car is already equipped with an extended range sensor, then they can easily add remote start to your car with a computer and just sell you 2 new fobs already configured for around $100
Newer cars only, so my 00 didn't qualify, and my parent's 06 came factory installed. but worth it to see. All they will need is a code out of your trunk I believe, so it can be done over the phone to find out if your car is eligible.

Very cool, I will give them a call this week sometime and find out.

I should have the money this week to buy a starter as well as my downpipe. Is this a decent deal and a decent starter?
