I have done a search and found some good things. What would you guys say is the best remote starter you can get?

I currently have a Python unti in my H2. No problem with it at all. I am upgrading to an alarm/remote start (can't remember the name) that transmits vehicle data to a key fob. I also wanted it because it has a passive feature built into the alarm. You can set a time delay that if the alarm is not activated, it will arm itself.

I have the Clifford alarm with the remote start that I am very happy with. It has the remote with the full screen that you can use as a pager as well. It has remarkable range.with the small antenna mounted on the windshield.

Last week my stereo guy installed my NAV. Tomorrow he's suppose to install my cameras and the next week, my remote start and alarm. I know he's using the same system as I had on my Yukon. I think it's either a DEI or Python. They are both made by the same company but apparently one has a longer (bettter?) warranty.

He really knows his stuff, I'll be sure to let you know what brand it is.

DEI owns viper/python/hornet and just about anything else that can bite or sting you!! Clifford is also owned by dei. If you want the best possible security, technology, and quality then Clifford is the way to go. If you want the 2 way system then viper/python is the way to go. If you want the absolute best you can get (and don't mind spending a buck or 2) then get yourself the Clifford Avantguard 5.

DeBest 12-07-2005 11:05 PM

I have the Clifford Avantguard 5. I have had it on a couple of vehicles and it is without a doubt the best. DEI has not come out with the window interface that will work on the 06 H2's yet. As soon as it is available it will be a solid system

You should berable to use a smartwindows4 module and just wire directly to the window motors unless something is drastically different in yours.

That's what was done in my Yukon. I was going to install it in the H2 but one thing at a time.

Kodiakz, what exactly is the difference between all the DEI companies? Isn't it a warranty issue? (or lack thereof on some of them?)

Thanks,

Mark

We tried to wire the smartwindows directly to the windows motor but because H2 has the button that puts all windows down or up it did not work in conjunction with them. Did we do something wrong???

I'm having a Viper 471xv 2-way remote start installed in my H3. I went with this model because I wanted feedback as to wheather the truck actually started. With the standard remote start I have on my 4Runner you have to take it on faith that the truck started (seeing as I can't see it from inside at work). Way too many times I have come out to find that the start up command failed.

This Viper system should prevent that problem.

VTSTOMPER 12-08-2005 11:33 AM

damn!All these good choices!

Really all I need is the remote starter...all the night rider choices are cool, but I do not really need them. I am just looking for a way to preheat the H2 in the cold mornings, or when I need to load the kido in there. Too bad there is not a way to turn on the heated seats too!

I have an Autopage RS-850. It is a two way communicator w/ LCD. It works pretty well except when I go to a shopping mall where they have a lot of automatic doors. It is interfering w/ my signal.

I've had it for more than 2 years and the paint on the remote around corners are coming off. I asked the price of a new remote only from the manufacture and they said $139.95 + %5.50 for shipping. I think I paid $300.00 for the whole unit and paid the installer $200.00.

kodiakz 12-08-2005 01:16 PM

Vstomper, you could have your installer use one of the auxillary outputs from the system to activtate the heated seats. On mine, we did the heated seats as well as the all up or all down windows feature (hehehe-even dei said that one couldn't be done).
