5-speed or auto tranny?

If you have a 5 speed, it won't work. The car becomes totally useless. That leaves you with no choice but to sell it to me for let's say......$2000.00.

If you have an auto tranny, disregard my comments, and wait for someone else to reply

you can actually wire up your own remote start on a manual but let me warn you! you better have it set so it wont start if its in gear or ALWAY ALWAYS remember to put it in neutral.

it's an auto. i look on Ebay and another place .. price is around 100 - 300. i just cant' decide which one should i get.

i might get one. was thinking about it earlier. my buddy that works at bestbuy can get it for like $60 while it retails at $200 + . gonna see if he can hook it up. :-D

yeah best buy employees get really good deals on all car audio stuff. i just wish they did with computer and tv's

and ada why dont you post links to a few of the options you like. that can help us decide

[Marv17]

well, it depends what position they hold. i was told by one of my other friends that work there that he can get a deal on tvs and some computer parts. my other buddy works at circuit city and gets awesome deals. i need a second job there lol.
but ya think Viper is good for $70 tops (including tax)?

[thesk8nmidget]

my fiance works there all the employees get the same discount which is 10% over cost and they sell the laptops and tvs just over cost and they really get you on accessories.

you can get like 10-30 dollars off a laptop or tv

I knew that, but didn't want to recommend that to a newbie.

one of my friend said i can just get an DEI BOA 165B (it's not come with the keyless). It's like 50 bucks on ebay. do you think it will work with my car? I do like the LCD remote one but it look kinda hard to install.

Hi Ada,

I would suggest you go to an authorized DEI (Viper or Clifford) installer to do the job right and with warranty. If they mess up or fried your wiring then the business will have insurance to pay to fix it. The product is only warrantied if installed by an authorized place. The LCD remote is good but the basic plain remote plus power locks can get you by.

Yea, another guy that he has his own shop said he's not gonna mess with my car and i have to go to the dealer! So i think i will pass this remote start and just get a heat seat or something. lol

How much you were looking to spend for the remote starter integrated with the power locks? I can refer you to a local alarm place if you like. You can always call and see how much best buy or circuit city will install one for. They always have sale on them. Just make sure you get an experienced guy to do the job.
