Any info remote start

Any special buys on remote start, and links and my car
2015

 

@james@tech12volts

 

I installed the unit from 12Volt Solutions. Installation was a breeze, utilizes factory key/keyfob so NO extra fobs. Haven't had any issues.

 

Best remote I ever had.
Hard to read in the sun though

 

I LOVE my Compustar. I have had 2 now and will be putting one on my GF's truck for christmas!

 

I second 12Volt Solutions. Have had mine for over a year. Zero issues, easy to install and no extra key FOB. One recommendation though. I think they come pre-programmed for 12 mins of run time before it shuts off. I had them program mine for 30 mins.

 

I like the idea of 12Volt Solutions...but I'm cautious to the range of the remote...That's where all other aftermarkets win...especially CompuStar

 

I would say at best mine works out to a hundred feet. Which works for me.

 

I got a Compustar in my truck. Had them in previous automatic vehicles i'd recommend them.

 

My dad, boss and myself all have Vipers and have had no issues.

 

Can't go wrong with Compustar or Viper. Personally run the Compustar 4900S and the range is awesome. If going with the tech12volts or 12voltsolutions kits I would spring for the app which basically gives you unlimited range. Range with the OEM fob is not ideal for most remote start situations.

There once was a guy on ebay that would program these based on what you need. He appears to be gone. It was anderson electronics. Great product. Just use your existing key and hold the unlock button for 3 to 4 seconds.

Not sure about the special programming though...

 

You the man. I looked for it and didn't see it. Sorry.

He will program every how you want it. He sends an message to confirm when you buy. At least, that is what he did for me. There are some options on certain models that are not on others.

I love mine. Its more now. I think I gave $200 even for mine a couple of years ago.

 

They are still around. I was trading emails with them last year before i got the compustar, thats now been removed from my Tundra.
Here is their website - http://www.andersonelectronics.net/foevplandplr.html

 

I've had a Fortin Evo One on 2 Tundras (2014 and 2016) with a minor issue. The issue was it was setup for a different model (settings). I paid about $200 for the kit and the programmer. They also make a harness that makes it plug n play with the exception of a wire tap. You can use the original key fob (3x lock or lock, unlock, lock) extended range fobs are also compatible. I have had no need to use the extended range fobs.

 

That's what I liked about anderson programming it for you. I believe most people that had problems with the fortin was due to programming.

I found that holding the unlock button down for 3 to 4 seconds works just like the 3 clicks and its much easier to do with my fat thumbs and old age.

 

I see that @tech12volt has a group buy going on right now for $199.99 I'm about to jump in on that myself. normal price for the fortin is $230 or $240?

 

Was quoted $890 installed for Compustar PRO T12 remote start only, no alarm

 

12volt remote start was my choice under the Tundra group buy. The instructions and YouTube video were a breeze to help in the install. It took longer to zip tie everything. Good luck

 

This is why i do most of my own work, some places charge an outrages amount of money for something simple as a lot of kits are now becoming Plug n Play. For that price you can install Fortin EVO One with the

$70 Thar-ONE-Toy7 Toyota/Lexus T Harness Select 2008+ Later (Key) Vehicles

Thar-ONE-Toy7 T-harness and a RF kit and still be under the cost of that.

 

The Fortin Evo One and the Carlink ASCL6 are a great pair. The ASCL6 works connects via 4G LTE and allows you to start your truck via an app on your phone.
I have this one from StartX. It's a Fortin EVO One with his own harness. 0 splicing.

Also, there is one ASCL6 on Amazon right now for $109.00. I've seen it as low as $90.00

Jump on it, that's a good deal.

 

I agree on the 12volts kit. I've had mine for over a year now without any issues. I also use the factory key fob and have had zero issues with starting it in the drive and I'm in the house. When I'm in the parking lot, I swear I gave longer range than used too, because I can start it over 200 feet away. There are add on kits as well if you need to start from a further distance as well.

 

I have the 12voltsolutions remote starter. Took less than an hour to install and works great. I got that one because I didn’t want to get involved with carrying a second fob in my pocket. Range is obviously that of the stock remote fob, which for me is about 90 to 100 feet. I might get the Wi-Fi module so I can have unlimited starting distance for those times that I need it.

 

Just pulled the trigger on a 12 volt system. Glad I came across the thread. It’s that time of year.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong but don't most long range modules have a yearly re-occurring subscription fee?

 

I know the cell based ones do, but not the 1500ft+ remotes dont

 

The last TUNDRA remote start group we will ever do is going on right now . This will save you almost 100 dollars from our normal price.

We have sold 1000s of these and know them on the Tundra better than anyone . We will not start shipping until the first 50 are ordered so usually about a week to start shipping but sometimes 2 .

James@tech12volts

I have a couple tech questions for you. Still getting used to using the system.

1) If you remote start and unlock the doors, but do not put the key into the ignition. Does the engine start time out and turn off?

2) If you remote start and do not unlock the doors. Does the engine time out and turn off?

Thanks for the support!
