couldn't help it any longer...no remote start was killing me. So I broke down and bought the Python remote plus alarm. One word......

KILLER!! wake up every morning and hear that baby start up is just music to my ears. Plus now I can pull up somewhere, get down, engine running, pull the key and leave it running . A/C kickin, the whole nine yards.

If anyone tries to mess with it, the brake is touched and the engine kills. Good product!

 

I have the same one.......love it!

 

How hard was it to do? I have some serious eye candy and the more i think about it, i need to protect it somehow. I want to get a remote start and alarm that sounds the "horn".

 

Im wanting an alarm/remote start system too. Im adding more and more to my truck and want it covered. I also like the idea of getting somewhere and leaving the engine runing for the a/c.

 

Make that 3 of us!! I am about to add a light bar to my SD. I have a couple of VHF mobiles in mine too but I would like the remote start so that I can just fire it up while I get ready to go. I just want to make sure it doesn't go anywhere without me in it!

 

I paid for mine to be installed......there is a MOUNTAIN of spaghetti mess wires that comes with it! I wasn't about to tackle that! The Python setup is great though, it includes the remote start, and a GREAT alarm setup, mine even has the ability to roll down the windows, but I chose not to have that option, didn't see much use for it!? The remote start is wired into the WTS circuit, some rem. starters just have a timer, which isn't a good idea when it's REAL cold. My .02 cents

 

I had mine installed also, no way I was messing with that, it took an experienced installer over 4 hours to do mine, which means it would have taken me 4ever!!!

 

Did you get the 871 XP?

 

I got the same thing, when its hot or cold out i leave that setting for the next day. Remote start with alarm is great thing, also for letting the turbo cool down, just pull the key and shut of when you want.

 

does it have the ability to deal with heating the glow plugs?

 

see my post above

 

gotcha. thanks for the input. what model number is it. and how much should i expect to pay. how much for install. thanks, dan

 

Model 1600XP, paid around $450, installed price.

 

sweet good info. was that at some random local shop or a nationwide store (best buy, circut city, etc)?

 

IMO best buy or circut city would NOT be a good place to get anyting installed, They tend to be just 17 yr old kids that dont know to much about what they are doin. Take it to a shop that specializes in car stuff, Tweeter seams to be pretty good from what I hear.

EDIT: your about 20 mins away from me, I always use Trick Trucks down in Kensington Md. They might be a little higher on the price side but I have never known of ANYBODY having a problem with them...
