remote start install

[99avenger2.5]

I have a 2001 grand am GT and I wanted to get a remote start install on it. The one that I wanted to get costs about 500 installed, but I can buy it alone for 140. I was wondering how hard it would be to install it myself. I have all the wiring diag however the only thing that I was worried about was the factory anti theft system. does anyone know what i would have to do to bypass the anti theft system.

You might find some help here.

But it should come with the installation instructions.
Or support on it.
Always get the best one.
Oem factory or One that just plugs in is better.
No wal mart specials and remember.
Installation is the most main part.
Solder and insulate/tape or heat shrink all wires good.
Good luck

I was thinking of going with a audiovox 2-way. is that any good, or do you know any better 2-way systems.

www.directed.com and www.compustar.com are the 2 best in the bizz to get. All the others will be priced cheaper because they ARE cheaper.

Unless you are already very familiar with proper wiring techniques or can trouble shoot electrical problems very easily, I don't suggest you doing it yourself. There's a reason why I charge what I do in my shop. It's called training and experience. If neither one was needed, I would't be in the bizz.
