Auto temp on a 111th ave and about 158th street is good, they installed an alarm with started and cruise control in my ford van, been great especially on cold days!

I purchased 11 starters from Certified radio over the years, and at first the service was amazing! The last couple were really tough, and I haven't been back there since. I had my last one purcahsed and installed at Visions. Service was good and they did what they said. Cost was comparable to everyone else's.

Talk to CATPRIDE (Tom) at St. Albert Tint! I've talked to him about installing one in my truck... When I get around to doing it, I'm definitely going to see him!

Not to hijack a thread, but has anyone heard good or bad about remote starters using smart phones? I like the concept, as I always have my phone, and don't want to carry another remote....

from what I understand, they carry a montly subscription fee, but I don't know what that fee is. The concept is definitely very cool, but depending on the costs it may not be worth while.... my last vehicle had a remote starter when I bought it, and I fought for an extra $500 on trade over a remote starter on my current one.... big mistake....

going forward all my vehicles will have them, I have also heard good things about adrenalin in Sherwood Park, and used to hear good things about FX Audio, but haven't heard anything about them in years.

Thanks Tyler. I'll see if I can find any hidden fees.

Lookin' at the smart phone option for my 2011 dodge diesel....... It has the factory remote, but the range isn't great, so with the iphone capability you can start it from anywhere in the world(almost).......

That's what I'm thinking. My 2012 doesn't have remote start, and the dealer keeps trying to tell me that the stock one is the best way to go. I beg to differ.
