Inexpensive, Lots of options, Works well
Added this to 10-yr-old BMW convertible that had no Keyless Entry, but was pre-wired for it.
Prewiring made it pretty easy to install, all the connections were in one spot.
Still, the instruction manual was a little difficult to decipher for a cookbook mechanic like me.
However, after "decryption", the system worked 1st time and every time.
EDIT: Range of the remote is quite good
- Other reviewer had it "professionally installed", and I'll bet that they just rolled the antenna wire up - instead of extending it.
That would give you poor range.
I've found range wth stock antenna-wire is 50-60 feet.
If you need more range, just add another few feet to the antenna wire;
it's just a wire, nothing more.
This kit is almost a universal one since there are a LOT of programmable options,
which -if you add a couple of 12v Relays and a siren- can turn it into an alarm,
get it to roll your power windows and/or close sunroof, do the remote starter thing, etc., etc.
I have it set-up so one of the remote buttons closes the convertible top and then rolls up the windows!
Excellent buy for the $. |
