what remote starters are you guys using

Im looking to get a remote starter installed in my truck. I have the push button start and keyless entry. Im not looking to add another fob to my keyring. What systems are you guys using for remote starters

 

I just recently installed the KB Voodoo one; fairly quick and easy install, retains your factory key fob. There is one small down side though, and I believe as of right now this is true for all aftermarket remote starts for 3rd gens (security thing)... which is that as soon as you open the door, the truck shuts off. It's a mild inconvenience, but a small price to pay for getting into a warm truck.

12 volt solutions plug and play kit. Super easy installation - it truly is plug and play. Retains the same key fob, same issue with opening a door tho. It works for what I need it for which is being able to start my truck from inside my house or office. Range is the same as your remote already is, and only one way.

 

How long does the truck run before shutting off if you leave it running just from starting it with the remote starter?

 

Used to have one a while ago. Was called daughter.

 

hahaha my girlfriend would kill me if I made her do that hahah

 

Sounds like someone needs a new GF

 

15 minutes

 

With the kB one, it runs for 20 minutes

 

That is correct.

 

does this have a phone app that i can download so i can control it through my phone?

 

I have a viper (~250) from best buy.
Love it

 

I second this plug and play solution. Super easy install since there’s no splicing and wire-tapping involved.

 

As it, it does not - but I recall seeing that there was a module you could add in addition to this

Here it is, first post in this thread talks about it:

Arctic Start 2 way. Replaces the original fob but I always know it started & is running. Great range!

 

Got viper small 1 button fob, not fan of fob but great remote starter and stays on when open door

 

KbVooDoo for me. Super easy install, only a beer and a half. Only issue I had is I didn’t strip my 12v good enough the first time so the unit wasn’t getting solid power. After I re stripped it I have not had an issue since.

 

Installed the KB Voodoo one today. It wasn't super involved, as long as you are comfortable partially stripping some of your wires while lying on your back in a tight area with minimal lighting. The worst part was that it was only 20 degrees out when I installed it!

Overall, I think it's a pretty good remote start option, and the price is reasonable. The only downfall, as somebody already mentioned, is that once you open the door the engine turns off. I had to call the company this morning to make sure I installed it right, because that didn't happen in my '12 Grand Cherokee. He told me that it is a safety feature, and there is no way to defeat it.

Overall, I highly recommend it. If you can install a car stereo, you can install this.

 

I have the 12 volt solutions one and later I added the viper smart start module so I can control it from my phone. Both were plug and play and super easy. Sure I paid more for the plug and play feature, but I figure if there are ever electrical issues or anything I need to have looked at under warranty I can remove it easy enough. Literally took me 5 minutes from opening the package to being done.

 

KBvoodoo kit with Directed SmartStart module - both super easy to use and install.
