remote Starter

I have a 2012 5.0 sedan I want to know if anybody has put aftermarket remote starter on theirs? Any problems ?

Hey!
Genesis has one of the most intricate wirings I have seen in a while. I am in the process of installing mine. Push to start/smart key can be really tricky if you are not careful.
My suggestion is to have a pro install it if you are thinking of it. This is not a DYI project.
I have been installing for over 10 years. This thing is cutting my tail but it is ok. Pre-wiring before it goes in the car is very important (soldering/cutting right length, etc).

The unit I am installing is CompuStar. The bypass is VERY important. I installed one in a Sonata and it works PERFECT just so you know.
Again, it is all about the installation.

Just my 2 cents...

Thank you !!! would you say 400.00 would be the going price?

$400 sounds about right if the Remote start includes security alarm too. Just haggle with your installer.
Find a shop that specialize in remote starts and just ask 1000s questions.
The main cost is the bypass and install time.

Here are your options:

1. Remote start add-on (use factory remote and aftermarket remote)
2. Security Alarm + Remote start (more expensive option but you have DOUBLE security)

The BYPASS is cheap but it has to be installed good. Bypass made by iDatalink is what I am using. It has to be programmed to interface with your car's computer.

See what options you would like and go from there.
Bestbuy I hear installed pretty good. Never been but I hear good things.
Again, depends on installer.


Good luck!

WHOA!

May I ask what brand alarm and bypass?
As far as relay, if you are adding remote trunk release and window roll/down module that is all I can think of.
I have stopped for a moment on mine because i dont have time.
DIODES yes. but relays dont cost much.
They are just stumped by the installation as it can be intricate.
always get a 2nd quote.

Find another shop man.
at worst $600 TOPS in my opinion.


Just my 5 sense...

YeH I am crying for you. If I all fails, check out Bestbuy. At least you have a shop anywhere in the USA if you cannot find a shop.

Checkout Compustar and see if there is a shop besides Bestbuy that will install.
You can use the factory FOB too if you would like.

Keep looking dont give up.
