REMOTE STARTER - Page 2

Can you use a remote start with a 5 spd?  Providing it is not left in gear of course.

I have a 2007 H3 and have yet to find a remote start that works with the new system. Let me know if anyone has one up and running.

 
Ditto....What remote start system should I buy that has everything I need without having to buy a bunch of extra stuff to get around the passlock system?

you will alwya need to buy a transponder override system in addition to the auto start unit. I like autopage 860 lcd for teh remote start unit and the IDATALINK  multi series trandponder override system to bypass the PK3 security in the hummer (not passlock, h3's use the newest system gm has out called the PK3) The LCD remote start/alarm/keyless entry gives you over 1/4 mile range and unlike cheaper units works on fm frequencies so you can control all the functions while a few hundred yards away inside a store if you want. The remote start and the bypass should be around $280-$300 combined.

IK you da man...that's what I was looking for all in one post.
 
Thanks

Your welcome!
 
I would try to get both because they work together with a one cable hookup called a data link. This cuts the installation time in half because the two units communicate together using the cable instead of having to wire another 15-20 wires. Plus the door locks and everything else will work through your obdII port, which means you will not have to find and splice into any door lock/unlock wires. Very easy install. Basically the only wires you need to splice into are power,switched power, ignition, brake switch +,ground, and the obd port.

IK, what do you think the odds are that the new two way key fobs GM has shown for some '08 models could be adapted to older vehicles.  The new ones let you check whether doors are open, raise/lower windows, lock/unlock etc, from a much greater range than current.  They look neat.  Would be cool if some after market company could build something liuke this with remote start as well, and could perhaps interface with the OBD port to give us some more goodness.

i heard these were made for the 07 h3 because there was so many problems with using the standard bypasskit.

I honestly don't think the 08 model key remote units will be adaptable to the 06 or 07 models, window control through the obd just isn't possible in our models. The autopage remote start model I listed has all those options installed already. The lcd screen shows if doors are closed and opened, if running the little car on the screen has smoke coming out of the exhaust. You can get the windows to roll up but that involves relays and more wiring. I do think that on the H2's you can get full window control through the obdII. I know my friends escalade which is a complete show truck can raise/lower windows, pop open the doors,turn on heated seats, even control the radio through his remote....pretty wild to see in person.
