SKperformance Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 it could be used if you really wanted to but you would be basically getinbg another alarm put in the car and losing your power trunk in other words to get that feature from the remote is to lose another one the trunk probably being the least used one by rewiring the power trunk release wire so that it is leaving the theft system controller wire to start the remote starter another possibility is that you might be able to find an alarm that could differentiate a long press or a short press but the oem key fobs usually don't have a very long range in my opinion later hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gslx4s Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 A remote start can be used on your vehicle, but you will not be able to use your factory key. You muct have an after market alarm installed as well. I have the Viper alarm with the remote start. Also my factory key still works as well. Make sure if you do get this done that what ever alarm you use has a transponer. this way you do not have any need to take a part your seconed master key. The Lexus line of car needs that unit near the car in order for it to start. Most auto starts require the the second master key transponder to be mounted in some type of lock box mounted under that dash. the only company i am aware of that has this type of unit that does not require the factory trandsponder is the Viper.

silkoccy Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 I found a place that sells the factory key for the gs with the remote start included... http://www.luxurymotorworks.com/main/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xSACREDx Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 I called those guys at Luxury Motors, the cost for the remote start is around $300. They are currently on back order, and it does work with the factory alarm system. Thanks to silkoccy for the website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
