keyless entry and engine remote start for diesels?

i dont know if its possible or if its a good idea to have a remote start for diesels? since you need to warm up the coil before firing, a remote start cant do that right?

but if there is something available for the diesels is it possible to have a keyless entry and remote start on the same remote?


currently i dont have anything, i mean i have a keyless entry remote but i dont think my truck actually has anything to make that work, maybe someone removed it or who knows, there is about 4-5 wires hanging there behind the filter driver side, im guessing it was for OEM keyless entry or some alarm, but the remote is OEM, so i dont know what its missing

I have a Compustar remote starter with keyless entry. It was installed by a pro they know how to set the delay for the glow plugs. I've had it for three yrs. with no problem. Has 1000 ft start range.

You would have to check the manufacture of the remote starter. Go online, check it that way. Hope this helps you out.

I have a Python alarm/remote start, and yes it has the delay for the remote start. These things are programmable to do anything you want them to these days...
