 No Hard Wiring My ASSNov 08, 2006
By C. Strand
The item description is completely false. When you open up the box it becomes painfully evident that there is a LOT of wiring to do. In fact, I called the tech support number and the guy told me that he doesn't recommend anyone install this themselves because of the pitfalls involved with all of the wiring which could actually ruin your car's computer system which, as you might know, isn't cheap. Not only that, but he also told me that crimestopper doesn't even sell their equipment to non-authorized dealers, Amazon buys it from a 3rd party vendor. So guess what that means . . . no warranty on the item! If you are attracted to this item because of the direct plug in myth and the promise of a hassle free install, turn around now!

 2 car remote startJun 25, 2006
By J. Job
"nafreek"
We bought two of these so that we could carry just one remote to control both cars and it works great. I didnt know we would lose some of the features that we had with remote keyless entry. we lost drivers door primary entry and the system makes you choose either remote trunk pop or dome lights. I cannot use the outside mirror lights on my explorer now. crimestopper told me to buy a different system after I already informed them I bought two of these. then I found on the internet that I could buy an add on module to do the features I want however its half the cost of the remote start. crimestopper didnt even offer this solution. over all it was very easy to install myself. I went to bulldog security and looked up the vehicles and got the wire location and colors from them (crimestopper wanted to charge me) that was very easy to install then. we installed on 2000 honda civic lx and a 1999 ford explorer sport that is loaded. the honda was much easier to install I did it in under 3 hrs start to finish. hope this helps.

 STAY AWAY FROM ITSep 19, 2007
By InverseIQ
I bought it coz it was cheaper than the rest and the following are the faults:
1. The unit came faulty in that the two way communication won't work. It will only communicate one way.
2. Called crimestopper tech support and an arrogant personal picked up. Both he and I agreed the problem is either with the remote or the antenna, but he wants me to disconnect everything and send him the entire unit. Why go through all the work in disconnection and re-connection when the problem is only with the remote or the antenna?
Anyway decided to do that, so he transferred me to some other idiot to get the RA# and guess what.. he refused to do that. It seams I can only return it to the website I purchased it from.. They will not HONOR WARRANTEE IF I DID NOT PURCHASE IT FROM THEIR WEBSITE DIRECTLY :-D...
3. Asked if I could just buy another antenna or remote to save me the hassle of disconnecting everything... and it seams they don't sell anything to consumers!!! I have to send them the whole unit and they are going to charge me for fixing a week old defective unit!
4. I purchased an antenna from another online website. Adding the cost together, I might as well gone for a reputable unit like Viper, Compustar or Autopage etc... I made a "penny wise pound foolish decision" going with crimestopper.
5. The range mentioned by them is nowhere close to what you get. My friend also bought a car with a crimestopper and its the same case with his too.
6. In my experience with autopage, bulldog, compustar, the crimestopper has the least customizable options. They advertize 30 customization possible, but none are really worth it. For instance, the remote has 4 buttons and a short press on any will do something to the vehicle like unlock the doors, open the trunk or start the vehicle. ALL other units have options to customize their remote like press two buttons together for any function so that you will not accidently press it. I cannot put the remote in my pocket because the buttons get pressed easily.
7. Crimestopper sells the wiring diagram for your car for $3.50. IT IS THE EXACT SAME ONE YOU CAN GET FOR FREE FROM THE BULLDOG WEBSITE. Isn't that enough to tell you what a ripoff company crimestopper really is?
8. The installation manual is as concise as it can be. I had to use it in conjuction with the bulldog installation manual to clarify things.
9. When I remote start the car with it armed (security active), the car shuts itself off after a few seconds. The vibration sensor shuts the vehicle to prevent theft!!!!!! The vibration of the car after it has started is shutting the vehicle off!!! I now have to unarm (unlock my doors) first and then perform a remote start. How stupid is that? Again goes out to show the quality of crimestopper products.
Overall, I just wish I had paid a little more and went with a respectable brand instead of crimestopper and dealing with their arrogant hopeless technical support staff, who are there just because they are not qualified to get any other job and do unleashes their frustration by troubling the stupid customers that purchased their product.

 Fantastic starter, very low cost!Apr 01, 2010
By Sean K. Lariviere
I was a bit skeptical about purchasing this remote starter for my wife's car based on the reviews others had left. I went over it with my brother, who has installed around 10 or 12 remote starters over the years. He didn't think it would be a major problem to install and he was correct. Now, I would not recommend going about this process by yourself unless you know what you are doing. My brother had this one installed and in perfect working order within 45 minutes.
He had done research ahead of time so that he knew which wire colors operated which equipment in the car. He also has wire testers and the correct connectors already so installation really was a snap.
Again, if you don't know what you are doing you WILL have problems installing a remote starter. It really is not a Do It Yourself type of easy project. The other product reviews I see on this item seem to point to people thinking that they would be able to open the box of the starter, pop a couple of screws from under the steering column, and everything will be labelled right there, easy to read, ready to install. This is just not the case. You need to know what wire colors perform which tasks (parking lights, ignition coil, horn, etc). Without this information, you are screwed.
Again, I couldn't be happier with my starter, and the fact that I got it for under $60 delivered is even better.

False advertisement, not plug and play. You need to be a master mechanic to figure out how to make this work. Worst $ ever spent.
