The range is not bad, is acceptable and yes, it came with an external antena.

before you order this, make sure you have an exact wiring diagram of the car...there are numerous likely colored wires under the dash that the instructions and additional references they send you do not address. you must know exactly what you're doing..ie: be a professional installer or have done one before. it was way to complicated for my ability (i do my own oil changes, tune ups, radiator/transmission flushes and brakes) so it was returned.

I use one of these and it works great inside as it is not weather proof try it inside first. You can remote the antenna, but it may not help. you need a tnc or an sma cable. Amazon has everything and other units that are weather proof

It has the same range as all the other 5 watt radio's.As with all such radio's it depends on where you are and what is around you. If you want more range buy a larger antenna or put an antenna on top of your vehicle.

You will need to loose a key and get a 556uw or a bypass module called PKALL. You can make the system work off the factory remote by using the white blue activation wire. You will hook that up to your negative lock wire found on the passenger kick panel. You will just program the unit to activate with 2 pulses, so when you hit the lock button twice the car will start. However you will be limited to factory remote range which is not much. Using the remotes that come with the unit is your best way to go... Good luck.

You can program it your self how ever I don't think it will work with a factory remote start. It is made to work with bulldog brand remote starts.

Yes, the Crimestopper Passlock-SL2, will send the signal to the BCM, and will turn the fuel on for the remote car starter for you, so the engine will run with the remote start. Just follow the wiring directions that come with it, with the first turn of the key the Passlock SL2 will learn the signal. Very simple wiring. instructions come with it. It works very well, I also installed on a 2001 S10.

yes. you may need an immobilizer bypass to start it. also, the remotes do not control doorlocks. your original remotes might not work while it is remote started, so you will have to use your key. the range on this was like 50 feet for me because they sent me a 6 year old piece of junk. have since upgraded to compustar with 1 mile range. very happy with it. hard to find good DIY, though

No, you don't have to program it. There is a button to switch to weather channels, and a noise filter, and a light button. It will scan all the channels too. It has up and down channel buttons...It's not going to be heard 4 miles away... I could only talk about 1 1/2 miles with a 30' base antenna connected...A cheap Uniden 520XL for your car ($40) with a good Wilson or Cobra Magnetic Roof Antenna works way better, gets out about 10 miles, and the package costs about the same as this Cobra...

I am using this with my 1/16 E-Revo VXL #71074. The hand-held remote does not have an external antenna but the receiver does. It is a wire that normally is inserted into the blue tube but the signal is so strong that I just kept it wound up inside the receiver box so it is concealed within the car. The range is very good and I am happy with this product.

The range is pretty decent, mine works from about 150 feet away... Previous alarms (Code-Alarm back before Audiovox bought them) I used to add an extension to the antenna... I would wrap a wire around the windshield tucked behind the trim, and my remote range was probably tripled

Hi, this add-on system works off of the factory remote, so the range is the same as it currently has.

I have the same phone and same service - this worked perfectly for me. I have there outdoor antenna about 150' from the repeater and indoor antenna. I went from no service at all to 5 bars. Would recommend

The one you linked has a signal booster. The one I have does not (and it works fine without it).

Yes it works with remote start. Just hold down lock and unlock buttons. I am using the remote right now.

With the stock antenna, I was able to get reasonable voice quality up to about 5 miles. This was flat suburban terrain. There were trees and buildings between the two radios, so you will likely get more range in a desert. This was on a GMRS frequency at full output power. The other radio was a high-end Cobra with a similar factory antenna and transmit power. As the others said, range will vary widely based on terrain, antenna.

Works great. Comes in clear. Of course the range will be greater with the antenna on top of the vehicle. I also found the radio alone has good range.
