Questions about remote start.

Is it possible to be able to start the car with an OEM keyfob? If so, please list your setup. I would definitely purchase whatever I needed to make it work.

I search and couldn't find anything. Thanks!

Cartronics.com has a module as well. And you can also purchase an additional module that will allow you to use your iPhone/Android/Blackberry... Uses factory key fob. $889 for the module and $299 for the add-on module...

The search function is your friend but I will answer your question anyway.

MidCityEngineering allows you to start you car with the push of the panic button. Its an easy plug and play that does not take more than 15mins to install.

If you are a gadget freak like me you might want to take a look at the Viper SmartStart which allows you to start your car from basically anywhere via Blackberry, iPhone or Android as look as your car has network coverage. AND IT WORKS WITH THE MIDCITY REMOTE START!

hope this helps...

ok guys..call Shaun Rielly at 919 motoring in Raleigh. He di my c55 and can install all these remote starts easily. It cost 899 installed and I have had no issues. his number is 919-872-4996.

I have no affiliation with this guy, other than he installed my mobridge and other items as well as the remote start.

I have also seen numerous high end cars there whenevewr I have dropped my car off to have work performed.
