    No, to far but, was thinking of you with extra work material, etc. It’s a vicious cycle.

    Is there power inside?

    No power.

    I only took the 30' as it was only $2 more per month than the 25'. It wouldn't fit it the 20' unit. The door hardware protruded several inches.

    I don't store/keep extra materials. Just one more thing I don't have to worry about/deal with.

    I was thinking of a battery maintainer. But I think your going to be there often and just run it for a while.

    I saw way too many problems with them. I would take 50% out before a year was up.
    I’ve been watching this one for a couple of years and did the deed.
    Haven’t checked the long range or obstruction capabilities yet but the long range is supposedly good for a mile.

    I really like the no shut off when opening the door, 15 min run time instead of 10, and the fob does almost everything the factory does including bonus feedback confirmation. The only thing it won’t do is panic mode..

    Well, I got a different brand. And our Tacomas aren't exactly dripping with bells and whistles. No trunk to open etc. My range is pretty good. I can do from my desk at work. In the house when home. Across a parking lot as I'm leaving a store. Even in warm weather, no jack rabbit starts! I can hop in, put the key in the already running truck and drop it in drive. Mine has a 15 min run before shutting off as well. Locks the doors, turns on parking lights and fires the motor.

    Compustar is the brand. Dedicated auto sound shop that had done my stereo hooked me up. I'm happy.

    Compustar was the only one I would ever use with a manual transmission. Still a Pita, but at least it works.

    Must have the “secret handshake”.
    Wife’s 2006 Jeep has an Auto Command. I had to cut and splice every connection.
    No real problems per se.
    How times have changed with plug and play.

    Got the GB back from the Body Shop today. Called this am and said it's ready. I told them I'd pick it up in the afternoon. He said, "good because we need to wash it". Got a ride there, pay my $100, get a written feedback form to fill out and mail back in, head out to drive home. Hadn't been washed and covered in dust. I stop quickly, run in and inform them and walk out. Feedback will be submitted accordingly. The repair itself looks great.

    Can’t like that. Shame on ‘em for punting it out the door like that. That little bit of customer service shows their workmanship better if the repairs good. Talk about shootin’ yourself in the foot.
