Just had a remote start put on my CF. Wow, what an ordeal. I had to take the car back on 3 different occasions to get everything working correctly. I was told that the normal install for remote starts is 3 to 4 hours, this one took 12.

I purchased the Viper Smart Start, so that I could use my smart phone to operate the remote start. This will allow you to basically start, lock, unlock or monitor your car from anywhere,where as a regular FOB will be limited by it's max range.

Apparently these CF's are well over-engineered and have multiple redundancy's. Wiring is very difficult to access, as well as, under the dash.

It is nice to finally have it operating, but if I knew then what I know now, I probably wouldn't have had done it.

Bottom line is that it can be done, just make sure you have a qualified tech to install it.
