Default Remote Start

Anyone here other than Jeff Bipes install a Remote Start system on their TT? If so, did you get the remote start add-on, or the entire security/auto-windows/flashing lights deal? I was looking at a few brands and Code Alarm came to mind...<ul><li><a href="http://www.vehitronix.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10_21&amp;products_id=247"> Code Alarm CA410A - Bottom of the line</a></li></ul>

Default Be aware you will need a 'Transponder Bypass' system to work with any remote start system...

like this.

<img src="http://www.audiooutfitter.com/images/items/42137-scybp3r.jpg">

and you will need this.

the key with the 'chip' in it, sits in the field generated by the transponder to trick the system to think there is a key in the ignition.

I just went through a lengthy arguement on our local forum with someone that in efffect told me I was full of it, becuase they didn't beleive me.
cost him a bundle to find out I was right, all because in the end, he didn't have the key and figured he didn't need it.

BTW- one nice 'perk' of my system is that it has a 2 min. 'Turbo timer' and it also works with the OEM door locks and alarm.

Remote start with a manual tranny? Would never trust myself to always leave out of gear when parked.

The transponder bypass wouldn't override the clutch sensor, so you'd be safe.

Default Well its a neat idea

but for me, ultimately a toy. On my MT6, I would just want it to be an add on system that wouldn't even need a key in the ignition, and would utilize my existing key fob. Is that possible? I wasn't aiming for an intricate system like yours, Jeff.
