It is quite a pain in the arse.... depending on what you want there are door locks to hook up some need to wired in relays or resistors, then you have your alarm that needs bypassing alot of wires to splice and connect, I would only do it if you have patience and are good with multimeters and electronics

is that true for starters only, without any alarms or key-less entry. is there any starters like this, just looking a morning thing and after work where the truck isn't locked. also i have a ton van that doesn't have power locks or an alarm.

I have an audiovox in my truck. Rate now it is not working... Dont know why and I have to take it back. I got it and one of those rim shops that was my first mistake. But I loved it when it worked, but I would want to install it myself so I could troubleshoot and know where everything is.

not to hijack but do you have to cut and splice the original harness to have remote start? I'd love to have it but you could'nt hold a gun to my head to splice the factory harness. I'll baby sit before I do that.

I have a Viper 791xv on the Lilly and Lbeeseven.... they are a little old skool (like 2004 styleee) but still wrk great. Most all the BEST remote srats are made by DEI (Clifford, Viper, Python, ect) and the 791 worst great. I have my headed seats on one of the many relay outputs so I can turn them on with the truck. It takes a couple bypass modules to work on the newer GM stuff, but the Directed stuff is top notch.

I came from 12V before I was in this business and I have installed 100's of remote starts, alarms, and key-less entry's. We did auto-page at first, and soon switched to DEI, as they are far more dependable.

It's no simple task on a D-max, but the reward is far worth the cost.

Pay some good money and get a good product.

you have to tap into the Ignition harness of the truck... and usally the power to the brake, the Wait to start light, and depending on what you want lights door chimes... but nothing gets cut... or atleast shouldnt, you take a razor and peel back the insulation on the wire, then divide the wire and twist the other wire and shove it through, wrap it around a few times and then tape it.. There are some T-harnesses out there but I have never seen one for our model trucks, with those you unplug the ignition harness plug it into the t-harness which plugs into the auto start much easier

scotch t-taps are MONEY when you are installing remote starts...

Agree with bnkrupt on this one, get a viper or other DEI remotes. Most are lifetime warranty if installed by authorized dealer. I've had them on my last three vehicles and never had any problems.
