Rainbow installed a real no frills remote start for me in my wifes old Prizm years ago. Amazing range, never had a problem with it. We sold the car several years ago but as of a few months ago I know the remote start was still working. Couldn’t tell you what it was but I’m sure they know. ---

Call rainbow. They use Omega RS’s. They also can upgrade you to a 2 way system or even a compustar. I use the Omegas starters and they work great. Great range and user friendly. The Omega is the standard there. Lifetime warranty on labor as well. The starters have a 1 year i beleive but the only problem I have seen is remotes going back due to them being dropped. ---

Did a search for Omega RS’s and judging by the pictures of the remotes I found that was definitely what they installed in the geo all those years ago. ---

I put in two ultrastart units, one in my s4 and one in the wifes g20. Never had a problem with them. I like ultrastart because they have nice remotes with good range and you can pick them up for around 100. ---

Thinking about one for our mini-van. I just called rainbow, they said theyre using the Excalibur RS-310 now, at least that’s what they recommended to me. I mentioned omega but he didn’t seem to receptive to them. Just under $200 installed with tax, and lifetime parts and labor warranty, 2 remotes. ---
