Remote Starters - wpgzx5 - 10-28-2005
Has anyone had good or bad experiences with installing a remote starter on their Focus.
I am looking for a basic unit. So far I have looked at:
Compustar, Polarstart and Powerstart.
Any comments, prices etc.
Cheers.

got compustar, had it for about 3 years no problems. Love the range.
got the same unit for my gf's car as well. She has an auto and i've got the 5spd. as for prices. i'm not telling anyone anymore. haha. when i do everyone tells me i piad too much. But i would rather pay a bit more and have it done by a good place rather then some kid working in shop that has no clue how to do it properly.

Compustars are a great product, and are great for range. I believe the am setups get about 1500' and the fm are going upwards of 5000'. Apparenty compustar does its r&d on the starters in Anchorage Alaska, so the should handle Canadian winters.

I sell viper starters at my work. They always work awsome, great range and a lifetime warranty. And the warranty is not a cheese , if anything happens you get brand new parts not refurbished "B" stock.

I have looked closer at the Compustar.
Received 2 quotes for the installation of a basic starter with 2 remotes. Model # 1WAM-S. Including locks.
$364.00 and $370.00 plus taxes.
Comments please. About right or am I being overcharged. This being in Winnipeg so if anyone has any contacts please let me know.
Cheers.

Are the Canadian Tire ones that are on sale any good?
I know my Focus has an Autostart brand in it already. I want one for my Sable.
