Honestly I wouldn't by it. Mines still in my box. But if it turns off every time he opens the door maybe the hood kill switch is grounding out when the car shakes. Or they wired it poorly, they might have used the door as the kill switch instead

You don't have it wired correctly. The open door is triggering the dome light (power draw) and shutting off the Remote Start unit.

U have to buy the window module for and it will not work on the push button start cause the key needs to be close to the car to start it

I no longer need to use my key fob for anything. It opens the trunk, car doors and starts it. When you pre start ,you just have to insert your key when you get in. otherwise it shuts off automatically.

I purchased two remote units, and have installed one. The one remote does not work well even after I put an extension on the antenna wire. Opening from the vehicle inside the garage is fine, but you have to drive within inches of the door, then remove the remote from the visor and try and try to get the door to open. I changed the remote battery with little to no improvement. This unit would not be high on my list to purchase in the future. Sorry to be negative, but I'm being honest. Yes, there are three buttons on the remote, and with the one unit connected all three buttons will open the one door-why I'm not sure!!! I purchased two remote units, and have installed one.

Whomever you had install it did so incorrectly. There is a wire that has power all the time, this power keeps your clocks and other things in the vehicle powered including the radio. If it is hooked up to a wire that only has power when the key is on you will loose programming everytime it is turned off. You need to take it back to your installer and have it fixed, pretty easy fix.

with the switch in the "off" position turn the switch right and pull the whole assembly out. if the fog lights are coming on then you are not getting the first push in. just tested on my car and popped out with no issue.

Mine was on a 2006. Everything you need and works well...too well. Starts with one touch of the lock button half the time. Very annoying when you are just trying to lock the door and it starts when you don't want it to. Must store lock hits or something...

The alarm key fob/remote control that you installed in the vehicle push the unlock button and it will shut it off. now, ig you are arming the alarm with the new key fob/remote and then using your key or orginal remote/to get in car the alarm will keep going off because that is not made to shut the new alarm off. You need to use that new remote only.....

The push button seems OK. I have not pushed it all that much. I, too, had failures of the intermatic unit that is similar to this unit. I ran into "OP" failures. So far the unit works well.

It has a tow/haul option programmed on it. So if you use the programmer, you will not have to use your factory tow/haul push button. Personnally, for convience, i would just use the factory option that is on your truck. I bought it just so i could switch my truck to economy mode to save on gas.

Here is the answer, however, it is on page 3 0f the owners manual. 1. Enter the vechile and turn the ignition key to the "ON" position. 2. Press and hold the LED valet push-button switch for 5 seconds until the LED turns on solid. This will remain on as long as the system is in valet mode. 3. To return to normal operation; turn ignition switch on, press and release valet push-button one time. LED should now be off and system into normal operation. Good luck!

No! Just got one and it only works with key on engine off. Engine will not start , just cranks. Connect the Bluetooth while engine running kills engine. I'm pissed.

I use the pull start. The push button thing was only novelty when I bought the mower and has never worked as far as I can tell. Short of that one defect it has been a really great mower.

Probably YES. It sounds like a defective item. Mine starts up whenever the power is turned on (the car is turned on) without any switch pushing or whatever.

You're going to need a bypass module to trick the car into thinking the key is in the ignition or the key is near by (push to start). The one I prefer to use is made by idatalink. Their product is the easiest to install, but you will need to find someone to program it to your specific vehicle.

If all 3 of these are true, I would consider changing the receiver logic board:(1) The hardwired button in the garage operates the door opener correctly.(2) Neither the remote in the car, nor the remote on the outside of the garage work.(3) The remote in the car has been re-programmed (again) to match the opener - but it still doesn't work.I think the receiver board is sometimes damaged by nearby lightning strikes.Actually, I purchased a new remote for the car first and tried that. However, when that didn't work, I bought the receiver board. Replacing the receiver board solved the problem!Good luck!

I bought this unit a couple years ago and did not like it. Had to be within 5 feet of car for it to work. If your just using it for keyless entry you don't need anything else , to use remote start you may need a security bypass if car has a factory security system like VATS or passlock
