Hey, you said that an aftermarket wireless starter killed smd. See this: an automatic wireless start system, build from the factory almost killed a whole family: They had a honda blue drive (i think so) and their neighbors had that too. One day the neighbors started their car with and app and it also startes the honda. Tha car was in a garage and it filled with carbon dioxide and trought the vent it almost killled the family. You can see the video from "What's Inside" channel

I’ve installed two of them already, both Compustar remote start kits and it went very well both times. The Camry was easy, there was no alarm system. In the Chevy Blazer, I had to wire in a bypass module but that was pretty easy too. It took a few hours because it’s a lot of steps and I don’t recommend it with anyone that’s not familiar with vehicle wiring but it’s not nearly as bad as Scotty makes it sound.

Aftermarket systems are not limited to these parameters. When done by a professional, you will never have a problem.

I got a remote started installed by the dealer when I purchase a certified used car (I think it was a Valet brand Remote starter). I had to take it back to the dealer multiple times, because it wouldn't start when the weather was really cold (that is when you need it most). Eventually the service department got it working good. the mechanic had to adjust the starter setting and he mentioned I would probably wear out starters if I did this... I have had it now for 17 years and it still works, and I have never had to replace my starter either. I really need a remote starter though because I have stairs where I live and I have trouble using stairs, so it would be a major hassle to go out to start the car on cold / icy/snow days to warm it up/defrost. Go back inside and come back. With the remote starter, it really is great to have this.

@mikeyount99595 жыл бұрын
Scotty love most of your videos, but this one is very biased. I have installed remote start systems for over 20 years and these systems when installed properly are very reliable and do not mess up a vehicle. The key is to make sure the system is installed by someone who knows what they are doing and actually understands how the systems integrate, as well as using a quality product. Many of these new computer controlled vehicles are actually interfaced through a piece that changes the analog wiring from the remote start to computer code and simply tells the car to start, lock, unlock, ect. and actually require very little wiring into your vehicle, many even come with a t-harness so the wires don't even have to be spliced and the systems are virtually plug and play. For instance a new Ford requires 5 wires to be tapped into to do a full remote start system with all the convenience features, or a t-harness can be used that simply installs inline with the OBD2 port. As far as your story of a car not starting and then removing the alarm and the car then started, it was likely due to the customer having an inferior alarm installed, many older systems would have the starter kill connected to the normally open tabs on an internal relay to stop the starter wire from engaging so if the alarm malfunctioned then the system will not allow the vehicle to start, modern systems use the normally closed tabs of a relay and only engage to open if the alarm is armed, so if the alarm is malfunctioning or inoperable the car will still start. The story of the man being killed by a car remote starting is due again to negligence on the part of whoever installed the system. In order for the car to move when remote started the vehicle would have to be in gear, most likely this was a standard remote start installed on a stick shift, in order to install a remote start on a stick shift you need a remote start specifically designed for a standard vehicle. A properly installed remote start on a stick shift requires you to leave the vehicle running, pull the parking brake, and exit the vehicle, when the doors are locked via the remote then the system will turn off the vehicle and allow it to be remote started because it knows it was not in gear and the parking brake was applied when the person exited the vehicle. If a standard remote start is installed then the system has no way to know if the vehicle is in gear or not and will lurk forward when the vehicle is remote started. Really would have liked to see you delve a little deeper into this issue and tell customers to do their homework when having a remote start installed and to make sure the person installing it know what they are doing and are using the proper high quality parts, but to say all remote start and alarm systems are bad is like saying all mechanics are crooks, while many might be this is not always the case and proper due diligence on the part of the customer is really is what is required to make sure they don't get unwanted issues or taken advantage of. If anyone has watched this video and still wants a remote starter feel free to give me a call and I can help you with the right questions to ask to make sure you get the results you want and not problems 912-800-1088.

Been doing after market remote start for over 20 years. Never had an issue, you just have to know what you're doing, soldering is best. I have also always had window roll up/down modules connected to the alarm as well. There are interface modals for newer cars where you don't have to do a bunch of wiring. The interface plus right into the computer and you just wire the alarm/remote start to the interface. It is so much easier. After market alarms are better and give you another layer of protection. Have a friend that had their GMC stolen because they bypassed the on star. The factory remote start option is often an after market the dealer installs.
