A pilot is easy to do, but if you’ve never installed a remote starter I wouldnt recomend doing it yourself. If you wanna drive to Kenmore I can take care of you.

Theres alot of good brands out there, it all depends what your looking for. Just a remote starter, alarm/remote starter combo? Do you want a 2way system or just a standard 4 button keyfob? Alot of people sweat brands such as DEI and Compustar, and not that their bad, but its more the installation than the brand name. Just stay away from junk ebay systems.

**Try to do it yourself.** I just installed a Phoenix Digital pd-175 alarm/remote starter in my 4 runner. Took me about 3 1/2 hours.  
It was my first time ever installing an alarm. Just follow the instructions and get your vehicle wiring info from…[http://www.commandocaralarms.com/wiringsearch.asp](http://www.commandocaralarms.com/wiringsearch.asp)  
and wualaaaa…

I checked a couple places to get the alarm and remote starter installed and everyone quoted me $300 and up.

alarm/remote starter w keyless entry= $100  
12 thingy of corona’s = $17  
total = $117.00

^^not bad compare to $300 bux huh?

Good Luck!

^3.5 isnt bad for first time. 1st one took me ~3hrs too, 4 or 5 units later and it takes me bout an hour.

:word:

It’s ALL in the install.

If all else fails, contact Rainbow. BDR5oh, BDR Lt1, etc. Many, many rave reviews of them.

Anyone ever hear of Ultra start remote starters? They have them on ebay and they look like the one I had installed in my truck the second time around. I really liked that unit, much better than the CC DEI one I had at first.

Don’t buy a Bulldog, you’ll regret it. Theres many other systems out there that you can get for a decent price, and will give you no trouble.

If you need help finding one shoot me a PM

Here we go again… I’ve had a bulldog in my taurus for 6 years now. Still works perfect.

Installed another bulldog in my mom’s old buick 4 years ago… yeah, still working perfect. Can’t go wrong for the money.

Both are good systems. That Prestige alarm/starter combo is actually pretty decent, I’ve instaled atleast 50 of those things. Their only downfall is that they absolutely suck to program, unless they’ve changed that.
