Default Remote Start

Looking to put a remote start in my 05 Dak Quad. It will not fit in the garage! Any ideas or thoughts on brand, price? What I have seen runs about $300 and will start and lock unlock doors from a remote. Vehicle cannot be driven as if the brake is hit the system turns off.

Thanks

most systems are pretty compatabile, you could go to any stereo shop and have one installed.

I just had a remote start installed for $200, works great. make sure to have the stereo place adjust the start/crank time for .8 seconds as the standard 1 second is too long for the '05 Dakota. the brand I have is Avital. it has a lock/unlock button and seperate start button, also has an aux button I dont use. and after you start the truck, you need to turn the key and step on the brake, otherwise it stalls out

My brother has the Mopar one on his Charger Daytona....it's sweet

Just adds a tiny little fob to his keychain. Doesn't screw up the power locks or the functions of the factory remote fob (some aftermarkets do)....it just adds the remote start and a fob....click it twice to turn the car on.
