remote engine starter for diesel

[2trout]

is there a remote engine starter available for the Duramax, keeping in mind that there needs to be a time delay for starting it cold.
All remote engine starters I know start the engine immediately you press the button.

Most of the decent 1s are programable as far as how long the ingition stays in the on position before it crancks ive had 1 on for 4 years and no problems

I have used an AstroStart for years, but they are $$$$$..

Oh 1 more thing i had got it for christmas and the shop doing the install,im not kidding 12 times i had to bring it back bfore the guy finaly gave me my mony back,i took it to a guy recomnded to me from a couple friends and he said no wonder the guy was using stake on terminals.Make sure you get a good installer after he did it i never had another problem he sodered all the conections.

corey trump (ctrump90 i think) has one on his lb7. he said it works good but he had to do his own wiring

I got the directed smart start on my lb7, had issues at first, but all works great now. No complaints. Lets the glow plugs warm the right amount of time also

I got one on mine no probs also!Only sucky part is the alarm in order to arm the factory alarm the door has to be open when you hit the lock button other then that i like it:thumb:

I installed an audiovox remote start in an lb7. Total coat was $80 and you use your factory key fob. You hit "lock,unlock,lock" and it starts.

I have seen several hack jobs from "installers" I would do it myself if I were you. I installed a Clifford 50.7x in my wifes 05 Yukon, and really like it, do your homework most quality kits will tie in the wait to start circuit

used to have a Viper alarm and the only problem that i had with it was the fact that i opted for the cheap "Pay cash ill do it for this" installer and they did a crummy job so it lost power. But when it was working it would do everything remot start and wait till the light on the dash went off before starting. and it also would unroll the windows/

I have a Avator or some crap, it's made by DEI and they make Viper and them name brands. I have a 20 second delay before it starts up. Ive had it for about the whole time I've had the truck. I got it in September of 2011. I think I have used my key maybe 30 times since I got it.

This is correct. Any decent kit has a wait to start wire. I have a python, also made by DEI, in my 05 and it works great.

Smart start is the only way to go.

I have a remote start in my truck you will need a module to interface with the passlock 2 gm uses. I have all the wiring schematics laid out in paper wire to wire. Can get them to u if I like. Then just follow my diagram and anyone with a solder gun could do it. It has wait to start and turbo timer in it. Not.one problem yet. Going on 4 months not one problem.

Does it work/interfere with efi live?

 

[2trout]

thanks for the all the input and advise, really appreciate it.
I have installed a remote start in our Tundra no problems, my background is electronics, so no probs there. Just wanted to know the brand that does have the start time delay.
I will most likely go with AstroStart and the Xpresskit data/interface module, have read up on it and I like what I've read so far.

Are you talking about pass lock? Mine wouldnt start every now and then due to a pass lock problem.

Yes i used an XK01 module from direct electronics. was a piece of cake.. and i have efi live does not interfere at all... my truck has the crimestopper Rs4/G3

 

[ctrump90]

both my factory remote and aftermarket remote both work perfectly fine.. i couldnt be happier. and i only have like a hundred bucks invested in the whole thing
