I'm thinking about adding a remote start system but have heard some good & bad things about it. Anyone have some info to share about remote start systems on our 2004-2008 F150's???

 

I have one on my 08. Love it, and it has a few fail safes. If i touch the break even slightly it kills it, i can turn it off from the remote the same way it turns on, it has a 10 min timer...No regrets.

 

I have run one on my last two vehicles, but I have yet to put it on the F150. I miss it dearly. It will be going in before next winter.

Never had an issue with it, although I will admit it is not always the "green"-est approach, it sure saves my *** in a typical Canadian winter.

 

I have one on my truck and absolutely love it. Mine also has the fail safe that if you touch the brake without the key in the ignition it dies. It was great in the summers because I can have it running with the AC going and it's nice and cool when I get in. Of course when gas was up over $4 a gallon I suffered rather than letting it run for too long.

 

I have one in mine also I have no problems and yea sometimes I swear I just look at the brake and it shuts down can also shut down with remote. The only thing that really gets me sometimes is I don't always lock my truck and sometimes when I start it, it locks the truck and other times it doesn't can't quite figure out what I'm doing I don't know how I lived with out it all my other vehicles

 

any ideas on brands that are better...i've looked at viper remote start systems & like what i see but not sure about the quality of their products...any others ideas?

 

I have a python model 1400XP I 've had it since the truck was only a couple of months old and knock on wood haven't had any issues with it and don't remember it being alot of money

 

anything by DEI is a good system. i have the viper 5900 and i love it

 

stay with any DEI product and youll be ok, i work at a shop in grand haven michigan called tech audio, and thats all we install

 

thanks for the info...i think I will go with the DEI products whenever I get it...i worked for circuit city a long time ago & thats what they carried in the car electronics area...ofcourse circuit city is chapter 11 & gone now but oh well.
