Remote start options

Hey guys,

Anybody can please give me some ideas regarding a remote start for the crd? Preferably something I can do without involving a dealer (meaning I don't need any special computer to program it)? I know there is the option having the dealer install one, but I'd rather do it myself. Is there a good alternative on the market?

I'm interested in this as well. I figured out how to get high idle working so it would be nice to have remote start too.

We have had this basic viper one installed for a couple years now at an aftermarket installer we have here in Michigan called Auto One. It works from really far away and even inside buildings. My wife can start it from inside her college. They put a 30 sec wait on it to allow the glow plugs to heat up, then it will try and start. It learns what conditions are best for the vehicle to start so it kind of adapts to temperature swings after a couple attempts to start. I think it will try and start 4-5 times if it keeps failing to do so adjusting each time. They said that with the liberty's they were only able to get the flashers to turn on when the vehicle started, not the parking lights or headlights. Not sure why maybe more work? Anyhow definitely get the flasher or headlight on option when the vehicle successfully starts, gives you a visual start indication. Only got 1 remote for some reason with their install but it was only around $100-120 or so installed. allso wanted the added benifit of not accidently security disabling my own vehicle some and having noone to blame. Definiently worth that for just around $100-120.

I believe its this one or a code alarm or some other version of it.

Thanks. I'm sure I could find someone documentation about Installing it.

Looks like viper comes with some way of a wiring diagram, more a color coded wire description. As for purchase, our buddy Bezos sells everything:

Viper 5706V 2-Way Car Security with Remote Start System https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GT2GA6Q/re ... uyb4XTXG41

The only issue so far for me is to bypass the vehicle security, it looks like the remote start won't work otherwise. Anybody knows what needs to be done? I can probably figure out which wires to connect where, based on the vehicle electric diagram, but I don't want to mess with the security/skim side without knowing exactly what I'm doing.

Anybody has any suggestions?

I wonder if I should post this to the gasser forum, this is not only crd related.

heres a video of a guy installing one in a 2003, he covers some of the stuff that is different between the years.

Last fall I had Best Buy put one in my CRD, it was the Viper Basic 1-Way model, ~$200 installed. They had to install an additional module to work with the security system. The FOB is really small, which I why I chose this version. Has pretty decent range, and can upgrade to the cellular "Smart Start" option if I want to in the future. They can customize how long to wait to start, I think they set it at 12 sec. It blinks the parking lights once when it gets the signal from the FOB and turns them on once the engine is started.
