Remote Start Question

Installed hundreds Bama,
had my MECP certification,
but I got out of that rat race in 2002.

 

I've look at them, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. i'd get a Viper Smart Start

 

Had one installed bama and glad I did for the cold days. Won't be disappointed

I have a viper one

 

Best Buy has the Viper One installed for $269

 

ive installed quite a few, just uninstalled one in my dads 2012 F150 and installed it into his 2014, had it done in about 2 hours. also put one in my brothers wrangler, by far the EASIEST install ever. remote starts are so easy to install on Chrysler vehicles.

looking to get one for my 2010, amazon has python 414 units for around $70 plus about $35 for a bypass module. installed that unit in my moms commander, my dads F150 and allys grand cherokee. nothing fancy, just a basic remote start.

all wiring diagrams can be found on bulldogsecurity.com. joe helped me with my first couple installs (02 mustang and 08 f250) after the first few, they get easy. every now and then I have a few questions about them, they keep coming out with new systems and functions.

the latest one I installed in my brothers wrangler was a python remote start AND bypass module all in one, think its a Python 4x10 unit. ordered a T-harness, plugged it into the unit and the jeep ignition system, wired up the lights and that was it.

one thing that makes these installs a lot easier is getting an XKloader2 (think they now make an XKloader3) it allows you to flash all DE (python, viper, and I believe avital and griffon are DE brands as well) remote start units on your computer. allows you to select functions and download the latest firmwares for specific vehicles.

when I flashed the 4x10 unit, it allowed me to choose which wires had which function, pretty cool but a little confusing at times.

sorry for the long post!

if you know how to use a multimeter and have some electrical knowledge you should be able to install a unit with no problem. just be sure to test all your ignition, ACC, starter and parking light wires before hooking up even though you may have the wiring diagrams that tell you which wire color is what, doesn't hurt to double check before hooking into it!

 

Do it bama
