Default Remote Start?

Would you use a aftermarket remote start?

I do use an aftermarket remote start. Probably one of the most advanced ones as well. CompuStar Drone is the way to go, IMO. Just like any other remote start, I can lock, unlock, and start my truck. As long as I have cell service where my truck is, I can also do all of that from my phone, or any computer. On top of that I can command high idle and to turn my Espar on or off as well using the Aux functions.

Please just make sure you install a hood safety switch and warning labels if required/supplied. We almost had some serious injuries with a 6.0l that tried to start when the batteries were hooked up. No hood switch had been installed and the warning label that indicated when the batteries were installed the truck would try to crank was under the seat!

One of our guys had his fingers in the shroud, when the ficm came on he instinctively retreated, and thankfully he did less than 5 seconds later the engine was running. Best buy installed the unit, and claimed that the items were not required and the customer declined the $200.00 charge to install the sticker and switch. Kinda weird considering the switch took less than 15 minutes to install

$800/hr to install switches according to Best Buy, eh? I'm in the wrong business!
