I am looking for a remote engine starter for my xb 06 (automatic transmission). What is the best product? Is it difficult to install myself?

 

i am looking for the same and i have a 5 speed, is it hard to bypass the clutch??? help us out people : )

 

The best ones would be the ones made by DEI most popular is Viper ones/ And yes u can bypass the clutch on a standard but u have to use to magnetic switchs on the shifter so it doesnt start in gear.

 

I am also toying with a remote start in my xB.
Question is there any way to cue a remote start off the current keyless enty? I would be willing to give up the panic mode for a remote start. Any of you out there tackled this yet?

I ve tried using the factory keyless to activate remote start and it doesnt work the keyless entry doesnt send out a strong enough pulse to turn the remote start module on.

 

madmaxbb, thanks for the info. I am looking at Viper 160XV Remote Start. Do you think it would be a good choice? The best pricing I've found so far is $199.99 from Vivid Racing:

Do you know any other better deal?

 

Ya thats a good price. u gonna put it in

 

What is a factory bypass? Some of the web sites mention that remote starters may require a factory bypass. I am totally new to remote starters. Forgive me if I'm asking obvious questions.

 

you can btpass the clutch using a relay. its ground,12v,one clutch wire, other clutch wire. i did it myself. didnt use a magnetic switch though. just got to double check its in neutral.

 

phillycamobox...where are these clutch wires located??? and what do you hook the relay up to???

 

i think i am going with this one...my buddy in SC had this on his minitruck and it was really nice, start your car from a mile away (dont know why thats necessary but its still cool to brag about...lol)

Just a FYI u dont need to use a relay to do the clutch bypass u just hook the starter wire coming off the remote start to the wire that comes off the clutch switch thats it . There is no bypass parts needed for Xbs or Xa. Dane thats a good alarm made by Dei same company that makes Viper alarms. Dane if u need someone to hook up ur alarm let me know i work at a stereo shop ..

 

Dane this is the same alarm only in the viper name for alot less

ok so i just found that clifford alarm on ebay brand new for only $229, they have 6 left and i think i am going to go ahead and get it... heres the link:

That's a good unit. I've got the Viper SST (same thing) and I love it.

I'm really liking the look of that Clifford remote though. Thinking of picking one up to have that sweet CF look.

 

Code alarm two way paging with Lcd remote.

 

Just keep in mind both the Viper and Clifford 2 way paging alarms only come with one remote

 

Go for top of the line - Viper 7900. First model from Viper that's color screen w/ remote start. You won't be disappointed. I bought it the first day it came out, which cost me $350 from online. Just be sure to use plastic wrap on the remote since there's no case protector yet..lol. I was kinda disappointed in that.

 

so i just bought that clifford alarm today on ebay...the price dropped again, its like $213 with shipping and everything, i cant believe i found that deal cuz on that website i posted earlier that same alarm was $549...i feel like this is my lucky day :-)
