LOVE THIS!,January 21, 2008
By Redhotfrom STL MO
"Received this for Christmas, from Northern and i love it! I have an older car and was jealous of everyone who had the cars that come with the starter. I complained so much to my boy that he finally got it! I watched him install and he did it quickly and i am happy! No more cold mornings waiting the whole ride for the truck to get warm! Must have for everyone! Highly recommend."

This is no BullDog,November 17, 2008
By prospectfrom Ma.
"This was my 5th remote starter from Northern. I was expecting the BullDog Security unit. The Prestige unit that arrived was a dissapoinment. This unit requires several holes to be drilled into the vehicle. The instructions were sparce and seemed to be geared toward professional installers. I had to refer to the Bulldog website for wiring diagrams and bypass information. Please bring back BullDog Security remote starter kits. They are much more user friendly for DIY'fers."

Remote Start unit,August 11, 2008
By twowheelerfrom Park Falls, Wisconsin
"To install this unit, requires a lot knowledge of your car and its wiring, by reading other posters, I thought it was a Bulldog security unit and went to their web site for help. They did help with some wiring guides and best of all a "T" harness that I purchased, but it helps to have your car wiring diagram. The supplied instructions were excellant and covered all the details, except the wiring choices (colors). To these old tired eyes the print was too small, so went to the Prestige (Audiovox) website and printed a larger version. All wiring was ample and plenty of it, did shorten some wires to avoid a birds nest under the dash. Installation took a couple of days, I'm detailed orientated. After programming the unit, I can start the car from the house, and it stays locked till I unlock it with the remote, a feature that was'nt addressed in the write-up. Overall a excellant unit, but does require something more than basic knowledge of your car and don't be in a hurry to install. Do it right the first time."

waste of money and time,February 3, 2008
By disapointed
"I purchased this product because of the detailed instructions that were promised in the point of sale information. that could not be further from the facts. I recieved no dvd as promised there is only a small instruction manual, that would be great for a certified mechanic but for a diy install it was horrible. I have spent the better part of 2 days trying to install this system.Ihad to purchase a wiring schematic for my vehicle, misc wiring connecters and extra wire, still no functions with the remote start. needless to say I would not suggest this system as a diy."

I knew it would work,March 10, 2007
By DaveTfrom Jacksonville, Fl
"I gave this to My Wife as a gift and promised installation by Me. I had not done even a car radio install in 20 years or so but still knew the basics. I had to read the instructions more than once, but over 2 weekends, I got it in and it worked perfect. I think I use it more than She does. The install dvd told and showed Me what to look for but the included tester was the best tool for me. The clicker works from a long way too ...I park way out and when I come out and push it,I can see the lights flash but way to far to hear it crank...fun huh?"

Bulldog Remote Starter,March 7, 2007
By Buickfrom Pennsylvania
"Easy Install. We installed one no problems on the second one we had no output on trunk latch circuit. Contacted tech department at factory. They said problem with control unit shipped back for repair took about a week to get back. Finished install works perfect. I agree with other installers range not as advertised. I would suggest if you cant see vehicle opt for the longer range model."

Installing on two cars!,March 7, 2007
By chewbaccabearfrom STL, MO
"I thought the installation was simple. I bought the harness too and it cut down the time by 50%. All you need to do is go to bulldog security website and get your wiring diagram. I loved it so much I'm installing it on another vehicle!!!"

Remote Starter,March 7, 2007
By katienonamefrom Cedar City, Utah
"I bought this starter because I live in Utah and it gets kind of cold here in the winter. I thought it would be nice to start my car from in the house. I installed the remote starter in my car myself, being a woman, my husband didn't think I could do it. The instructions were very explicit and had no problems except when I plugged it in it made a beeping sound. I called tech support at Bulldog Security and they walked me right through the problem which was something I didn't hook up. They were great and right on the ball. I have told several people about this and they are going to get one for their car. I LOVE IT"

Starter,March 7, 2007
By Dawgfrom Lincoln, NE
"Has worked flawlessly since installation. Very easy to put in and configure, especially with the optional t-harness adapter. Had one issue with programming from the factory but phone customer service was great to work with and solved the problem in a couple minutes."

Easy to Install, but...,November 27, 2006
By JackBauer24from Chaska, MN
"Pros: I installed the remote starter (I was able to add remote keyless entry to my car with the same unit as well) in just a couple hours. It actually took me longer to take my dash apart than the actual install. The directions are pretty straight forward and anyone with just a tiny bit of electrical knowhow should be able to accomplish the install. Bulldogs tech-line was pretty good about answering my questions.
Cons: The 400 ft. range is overstated. I'd say 100 is about the edge. There are also a lot of variations in different auto electrical systems. Some circuits require relays or they will burn out the electrical terminals and you don't know until you test the circuit. I couldn't access the parking light wires easily, so I couldn't include that feature. Unfortunately, a lot of the adjustments you can/or may like to make to the system use the flashing parking lights as an indicator that the change has been made.
Recap: Easy to install, but it's not a perfect system for some cars."

Bulldog Remote Starters,November 25, 2006
By WilliamWfrom Pocono Lake Pa
"I have installed five Bulldog remote starters on my own personal vehicles over the past 9 years. All have functioned flawlessy. The ease of installation has been made even better with the introduction of the optional harness adapter. I have had at least a dozen requests to install them on friends vehicles, several of which I have already completed. As I am soon retiring from my regular job I plan to do this as a source of supplementary income. It seems I will have no advertising costs as word of mouth seems to be suficcient. Great product and made in the USA makes it even better."

Easy Install,November 17, 2006
By Toyaiiifrom St Paul, MN
"The overall installation of this is easy after watching the video however the range of 400ft is a bit overstated. I have not measured it out however I'm normally about 100ft away (front door to the car on the street) and that works great."
