Remote Starter

[CLG]

Hi,

I am in the market for a remote starter for my '04 RX 330. What suggestions do you have for brand and features?

Thanks,

Chris

I used a Prestige XR9000, tons of features and options. You can use a module so you don't need a valet key stuffed in the dash for your transponder and you can add proximity sensors and adjustible shock sensors. The remote start works great and so do the programmable remote functions ie remote windows up/down, trunk... ect...
