Why not just wait inside the house while the car warms up? :dunno:
"what kind of diagram do I need to look at for the car? The Remote starter kit already comes with a diagram of its own." This pretty much answers itself.
The diagram that come in the kit should include the remote starter AND the car.

Because I live in dorms.. I'm a freshman in college and I'm not willing to walk from the dorms twice.

 

Does your car already have "keyless entry?"... If so, that python isn't a good choice. The 4104 also includes keyless entry.
What are you looking for? One with it's own key fob? Looking to replace your existing keyless entry? Want to keep your factory key fob?

 

No it doesn't. It has the stock alarm system on it.

 

Stock alarm should also be keyless entry. Does it operate the locks? lock and unlock? If so, it's keyless entry.

 

Your correct, but the owner I bought the car for never got the remote for the alarm system for some reason.

 

You're correct, but the owner I bought the car for never got the remote for the alarm system for some reason.

You can get new key fobs for the factory alarm. There are ALOT of options for car alarms/remote start/keyless entry's......... Just depends on what you are looking for it to do or want it to do. Where do you plan to purchase from? Local? eBay? Amazon? This will limit your options. Do you plan on installing yourself?

 

Right, but the factory alarm system doesn't have the remote starter, that's what I'm looking to install. I would need a whole new system right?

 

NO, that's why I am asking these certain questions. You could get a factory key fob to operate the factory keyless entry and then add say, this ---------> New Add Remote Start to Your Chevy's Existing Factory Remotes Car Truck SUV Van | eBay
to the existing one and still use the same remote (factory key fob).

 

Oh I understand what your saying... I just have to get the right fob.

 

Yep, go to your local GM dealer, they can tell you which key fob you need. They can even sell you one and program it for you. If you knew which specific key fob your car uses, you could buy the key fob elsewhere and program it yourself, which would be about half the cost a dealer would charge.

 

Okay that makes a lot of sense now.. So that leave me with just having to install the remote kit and then programming he fob to that.. Where do I do that part at?

 

If you can find exactly which key fob you need, just purchase one and program it. A lot of key fobs sold on ebay come with programming instructions. OR, go to a GM dealer and tell them you need a new key fob for your car, they can also hook you up, but this usually costs a little more. After you get a working key fob, then get a remote starter kit like the one I post before and install it with the factory keyless entry (alarm)

 

Okay thanks. You've been a big help.

 

You are welcome. Let us know what you find out with the key fob or if you decide to go a different route. You could just add a complete alarm system. I recommend having a pro install that tho. Not sure what your budget is.

 

Okay I will.. Would I need a new system if I didn't want to use the factory remote? If so I can do the factory! I just like the LCD remotes.

 

Ya, completely new system would be needed. Which can be done, but not cheaply. After market alarms have come along way in features to cost over the years, but it's the labor that really increases the cost. A lot of Audio/Video shops usually have an "installed" price on their alarms.

 

Okay cool. Thanks again

 

You are welcome.
If you DO Get a factory key fob and want to program it yourself, here is the programming procedure:
http://www.programyourremote.com/classified/DisplayAd.asp?id=261

1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
2. Remove the RADIO fuse.
3. Cycle the ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position (as far as you can go without
cranking the engine) 3 times within 5 second ending in the RUN position. The vehicle will verify
entry into the programming mode by locking then unlocking the door locks.
4. Press and hold both the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the first transmitter for approximately
15 seconds. The vehicle will verify programming by locking then unlocking the door locks. Your
new remote has been accepted and all existing remote codes have been erased.
5. Repeat the previous step for each additional transmitter (including any existing transmitters). You
may program up to 4 transmitters. This must be done before the RADIO fuse is reinstalled.
6. Place the ignition switch in the OFF position. IMPORTANT: The remote keyless entry system
will not be operational if the radio fuse is open.
7. Replace the RADIO fuse. If at any time it is necessary to restart the procedure, turn the ignition
OFF and proceed again with step number 1.

 

So I've been looking around and for me to buy a factory fob + the add on factory starter! it would probably come out to be more money than a whole new system. The thing is that with a whole new system, they aren't to expensive but yet, I'm guessing they cost more because it's harder to be installed. Does that sound about right?

 

Yes, a whole new system is harder to install, but no, factory key fob and that remote start I posted before, would be cheaper. if you can find out what key fob you need, you could purchase it on eBay for around $30, program it yourself, then get that remote start I posted for $90, that's only a total of $120, this you can install yourself...........
A whole new system would be a lot more than that.... then you would need to have it installed.
