Hi, is this an easy install for just bare basic non remote start function (add DEI504d) once I figure out wires on my car? I am in the UK. Thank you

Just as an alarm? Maybe, but I really recommend that you use someone who has skill and experience. Here it costs $50 to install basic alarm. So that would suggest it's not complicated, but if you mess something up that can cost you much more. Best.

I agree ordered from car alarm depot send them your information they will flash the unit before you get it its a plug-and-play you in it with you only having to solder one wire together on the internal harness itself sounds difficult but very simple just rip the wire twist together and then tape off everything else is plug-and-play just take your time and it will be well worth it took me about 30 minutes

I installed my unit on a pick up......I would think you could run the wire underneath from the license plate underneath up to the tail light. Make sure you test for the back up light for positive a negative........this is crucial for it to work. My unit was easy to install and works well......I wish I had gotten a bigger screen, but I mostly use it for trailer hook up and it does fine for that and general backing up.

I'm not 100% sure but I think there are ways to wire it up without this. The idatalink just make it easier. Jump on idatalink's website and you can put in your car's information and check. Also this unit has to be programmed specifically for your car type. And you might want to order it preprogrammed from the manufacturer for your car. Otherwise you'd have to take it somewhere to get programmed and you might get charged.

Absolutely does. I just installed my system and it is great. I wish I found this unit sooner!! Well worth the investment. I procured a wiring harness adapter as well to install in my Nissan. The whole installation only took about 30 mins and I did not have to cut any wires.

Hi Riqui, The unit does not include all the wiring. You may use adapters depending on your car connection needs. -Anthony

Same here. Its a simple install. Plug and screw in. If you try to reset the DTC it will only come back on. Bosch o2 sensors fixed the issue. Don't know what the deal is with these. Some kind of defect I think.

This unit is not something a DIY-er should be doing. Along with any remote start for that matter. Unless you work on cars frequently and have access to a lot of electric and car electronics tools I would recommend having this put in by a professional. I will however suggest buying the RS1-G4. The pros out due the cons by far! It took about six hours and we are still working out the kinks. Depending on what you are wanting to do, programming is the easiest part. Crimestopper is a great brand and they give you a ton of options when it comes to how you want your remote start to work (i.e. unlocking doors, locking doors, turning off cars after X amount of minutes ect) If you dont decide to go with Crimestopper I would recommend Viper.

You need to follow up with viper or a reputable installer and fine out if it is possible for them to integrate this with your oem remote start. You may lose the oem remote start feature, yet still have it on your viper system. You can check out vipers website, they have a app to help you figure out what major components will be needed for your car. Also, word of caution. The quality of the install is key. A great alarm/remote start system is useless if it is installed poorly. Hope this helps. Feel free to ask more questions if needed.

I'm sorry, David. It's been a while, and I don't have my model info in front of me. I can tell you, that for me, it was like a 5min installation. Just label all the wires and where they are supposed to go! It saved me more than $200, buying the part and installing myself. Best of luck.

Just bought one for my pioneer, basic install make sure its connected to the wires coming out of the unit not the wires in the vehicle, the ground wire (black) should be grounded to the vehicle as well as the bypass. This worked where a standard relay would not, it double pulses or however it works

Easy if you are replacing the old ones, 2 wires and a ground wire. If this is a new install, as opposed to a replacement, you will probably need the services of an electrician. We love ours.

Dear JT KlingerThanks for your inquiry.Just connect the wires to the positive and negative charges of your car and then this item will be turned on automatically.But please be noticed that you should not press the "off" button, if you do, you need to press the "on" again.Sincerely yours,Astra Depot

Hey Robert, you need Data Transponder which you can buy from amazon also, or you can go to your local shop who will do the installation, he will tell you what else is needed. It better if you go to the shop, because sometime it varies with the car.I did all the work myself, so I had some other small/minor things in my garage which I used to improvise the installation. If you have not done anything like this before, then I would recommend go to someone who do this kind of work full time and you know this kind of stuff, then you will be ok, its just little time consuming.

It's certainly NOT plug and play!!!! Took me 8 hours to install, wiring diagrams they provided me were wrong, setting up the bypass module took a long time. I finally got it working, but I will NEVER do it again!

Was going to install it in a Mercury truck. Went to Ford dealer and they wanted 850.00 (plus I paid for the part) and up to 2 days to install. Said no. Went to Best Buy and they installed a Viper remote start for 344.00 plus tax and had it done in less than 2 hours. It will not do all the magic of the C3, but the Viper starts every time from a long distance. You want the bells and whistles than pay the coin to have he C3 installed.

Wasn't hard to wire up, but the instructions were in very small print. You will want to enlarge them in a copier. A wiring diagram of your vehicles exterior lighting and windshield wiper system will come in handy. This system works very well.
