Re: 1997 Towncar Cartier (Remote Start)

No, they didn't have that available from the factory. Dealers can add the remote start as part of their prep. if you ordered it that way. They wouldn't choose any specific brand, and they would most likely send it out to get it done.

I got one from AutoCommand some time ago but never installed it due to my busy schedule.

Their addon unit interfaces with your existing remote / system and starts the car when you hold down the lock key. I won't recommend them since I never used mine, but it was recommended to me at the time I bought it. I paid around $60 and now their up to $150 for the same unit so it would be best to shop around.. at that price you can get a few more features and really hack up your harnesses..

Whatever system you decide on, if your good with wires and installations, I recommend doing this one yourself... don't trust the so called professionals with this one. You'll be cutting a few vital wires and if those connections fail later, your screwed. Solder everything.
