How often do you use your Remote Start?

so i recently just got remote start and im loving the ability to start my car while im walking up to it and hear it fire up and having the ac/heat already going.

i was wondering how often do other people with the remote start feature on there vehicle are using it.

let us know how much you use it!

 

Every morning now since it's gotten colder to warm it up before i head out

 

I use to have a viper alarm and i loved it, used it all the time, i actually just found out that the taco i bought has remote start, the guy i bought it from never told me about it. But its a cheap "Alert" system and I hate the alarm side of it, it seems to automatically lock my doors immediatly after i pull my keys and shut my door, which makes it a pain in the ass everytime i need to get something out my back seat

 

poll added Vote away!

 

All the time Im far from my truck, either thru my 2way pager or from my phone

 

did you buy the one that does the phone or is there an app you can get?

 

Ive had the alarm since it came out...then added the module for my phone...I love it

 

I got my truck last October, and the guy that had it before me wore the shit outta the remote. The remote start still works but the buttons for the lock and unlock for the keyless entry are shot. Thinking about taking it to one of the local shops that specifically deals with car stereos, alarms and remote starters to see if they can set me up with just a new remote. . . But I'm worried its going to cost a ton of money. . You guys think that they could just program a new remote to the existing system?

 

yea if you know the model i saw some on Amazon and ebay when i was shopping for mine

 

I love starting it from a distance while someone walks by my truck. They proceed to turn around quickly looking at my truck then walk up closer to it trying to see if someone is in the driver's seat haha.

 

howd you add the module? that would be sick!

 

haha ive already gotten some good looks from people when i started it up and they where all confused as i walked up to the car got in a drove away

 

pretty sure its a viper set up. bummed out cuz it only needs the new remote cuz of the damn keyless entry buttons

 

You plug it in to the alarm module itself then you pay for every year

 

guy at school was sitting in class and remote started his chevy z71 with straight pipes right as the principle was walking by it. that was funny event he agriculture teacher got a nice laugh at watching the principle walk all around and trying to see through the tint into the truck

 

Do you know the make, model, etc? You can pm it to me if you don't want the whole world knowing.

 

lol idc care man

my alarm is the Viper 9501 model
then i upgraded the remote to the 9502 model LCD screen:



i bought this $200:


it says VSM200 so im guessing thats the model

then how it looks on my iphone 4



that "trunk" feature im going to wire up to an led light bar that i will later install just incase im out somewhere and need lighting so i dont have to walk over to my truck to turn it on

 

Thanks I want a new one for my truck because I want the remote start, my system isn't compatible, and I live in SC so 30 degrees is really cold to me. A straight piped V8 riding by will set off my alarm at night which gets old for me and my 80 year old neighbors, WAY too sensitive with no way of tuning it.

 

That's a pretty cool remote

 

Really?? Mine takes alot for it to go off...but if someone pulls one of my door handles, hits the glass Or comes near it it sends me an alert on my 2way ASAP lol

yup
