Lexus311 Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 I'm curious if anyone has the remote start installed in their Lexus? I have an 05 RX330 and found that 2 Lexus dealerships will install it, but the Lexus dealership that I bought my vehicle from doesn't recommend it at all due to possible electrical issues. My mechanic does not recommend it either... same reason. I would love to have the remote start installed, but I don't think it's worth it if there is a good chance that I will end up having major issues later on. Thanks in advance for any advice!

molocka12 Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 I had a remote starter & alarm installed in my 97 LX a year ago so far with no issues. The work was done at a local car stereo store the type that sells & install alarms stereos, navigation systems & DVD players. I have remote start my LX from as far away as 100 yards Total cost of around $320 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 A good installer can install them no problem. If they don't sell clifford or viper keep looking. Do not go to any electronics super store for install work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to have the Lexus dealership install it since I too was leery about having someone other than Lexus mess around with any type of wiring. :) I'm assuming that Clifford and Viper are the best... I'll check around and ask Lexus which they use. I hate the fact that I will need an additional remote, but I think it might be my only option. Thank you!

SKperformance Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 By getting a alarm installed at lexus you are going to be paying 2x what it is worth and Lexus is not installing it but haveing a contractor come to the dealership and install it there. but you will have the "lexus " warr for problems.

I thought it wasn't a bad price. I did specifically ask the service manager if they at Lexus will install it or hire someone outside to do it. He said they have someone their that will install it it. Now that I think about it, I'm not %100 sure that this will be a Lexus service tech or someone outside. I'll have to check if they warranty this for any future problems. I'm sure they do, but you never know. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question I have is AFTER you have remotely started your car and you come to it and insert your Key does your steering wheel tilt down to the preposition spot that is supposed to be at?? I have been told it wont come down? Let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 The key cylinder has a pin that moves the steering wheel. Unless the car has a lockout of movement unless you are in park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
