Can I use this only as a Security System, without the remote starter? I need just the basic function without tampering the car system. Thank you!

Simple answer is yea you can. Whether you or someone else install just let them know you don't want the remote start function. Even if they do it install it a switch can turn it on or off whenever you want it disabled. Hope this helps.

I don't think so it took guys at best buy bout 3 hrs to install they cutting and soldering wires

Yes, I did exactly that. I have a standard transmission and decided not to do the remote start (because I don't need it and it was going to be more expensive and complicated).

Yes, according to bulldog security's website .... http://www.bulldogsecurity.com/Products/500000111-model-deluxe-500b-remote-starter-with-keyless-entry.aspx

I'm not sure this will work for you because you have a remote starter, but I programmed it myself and it locks and unlocks the car and opens the trunk but it doesn't sound the horn when you lock it since it's not a manufacturer's remote. But like I said I dont know if this will work with your remote starter, but you can probably program it to work with it

well it depends, i dont think you need the relay, but you may need the harness if your car has never had an alarm before. just to note, this works more like a factory alarm, nothing fancy, its just to open/close doors etc. If the alarm is going off, you would get any indication on the remote

It will not work because of the clutch sensor. The clutch must be depressed to start the vehicle for safety. That being said, there are simple ways to bypass the clutch sensor. Although this is not safe nor advisable because if you have the vehicle in gear and use the remote start, the steering wheel will be locked and the vehicle will take off in whatever direction it is pointed.

We at Car Alarm Depot are the only ones that program these units for stand alone remote start so you won't need a flash-link as long as you provide your year make and model.

No. Or at least not directly. You could wire the extra output (usually used for a trunk release) to a remote start unit, but that ends up being awkward. You'd probably want a different alarm.

I just returned this item... I'm an ASE Certified tech an even with that, I didn't want to take on the wiring involved. Most cars require an additional bypass box to be wired in to allow the security system allow the remote starter to work

This just allows you to do the same stuff you can normally do with the FOB with your phone. So if you can unlock and lock doors and start car and Pop trunk with the FOB that came with the system you currently have then you shouldn't have any problems. All this does is plug into the brain of the alarms D2D port and it basically gives your car a cellular signal which allows you to perform functions from anywhere.

This device has one function, it is to bypass the engine immobilizer unit during remote starting. It has nothing to do with locks or any other equipment that the auto page unit can control. Only the ignition. This item will be necessary only when installing an after market remote start function to a car with an engine immobilizer (prevents the ignition from working unless it senses an electronic chip in the key).

I am not 100% sure but fairly certain it can be done if the built in remote in the car support security plus or security 2 feature.

I believe you can. My programming did not require me to use the trunk button on my working remote. Make sure you find directions for your car year on YouTube.

I purchased this at least 18 months ago and regret it. You will need to purchase the bypass for the security system. Then you will need a professional installer wire it since the codes and wiring is not available to DIY installers. There are other Plug-N-Play remote starters that are DIY friendly - this one is not friendly at all - I am have a BS in Mechanical Engineering and still can not get it installed. You will spend at least another $100 to have it installed. If you are looking for one you can install, look for another system.

The only way to use the remote starter on some manual transmission if you don't have to press the clutch to start the car.Otherwise you can you use it on any manual transmissions.

No, this bypasses the immobilizer, so the remote starter can start the vehicle without the key.

It won't work as a standalone remote starter (you will need a separate remote starter module), but it will work as an immobilizer bypass.

This is not actually possible. This unit is only a detector. It detects a small shift in a magnetic field. Your car is a big enough piece of metal to make a small shift in the magnetic field. This unit then sends a signal back to the receiver. However the signal is nothing near the same frequency or complexity of car security systems. I am sure something else "deprogrammed" your cars security
