It's just a short cut they'd use on someone else's vehicle, or/and a way to show how fast and easy the installation is. I'm good for 10 years or more between vehicles, I think I'm damage control in my household sometimes.Īnyway I'm probably going to leave a comment on the START-X YouTube video just calling them out on the results of their instructions, for whatever that's worth. She works hard and deserves a new vehicle every so many years. It's my wife's vehicle and honestly it just got me started off on the wrong foot today.

Nothing in the way and all fasteners/clips in place.Īfter that I had to move on for prior engagements. I put it back together and that's the best I could do. Untouched.īottom pic is to the left of the wheel where they have you pull it away from the upper segment.

I guess you could say I got ripped off on that one, but at the time you generally paid a custom shop around 300 for install plus the starter kit. It was close to 500 bucks and required an additional fob. Last time I had it done (2011) was for a new Honda Accord at the dealership. Hope this helps anyone considering a remote, for $150 bucks it was well worth it to me. The only thing that bugs me is the smallish gap between upper/lower dash. Well worth installing yourself with minimal mechanical experience. Several other options are available offering additional range, fobs, two way communication, etc at additional costs. The high beams/and auto high beam function works the same, everything else seems to be unaffected as well. (Stuff like this bothers me on a brand new vehicle).ĭoes it shut off automatically after a specific time ? I don't know, the manufacturer doesn't mention it. I'm sure with further disassembly you could avoid this issue.

Upon reassembly there is a moderate gap between the upper/lower dash due to bending the bottom of the lower dash panel. They include a pry tool that comes in handy if you don't have one.Īs far as the left bottom dash panel, they leave it attached.

Instructions (YouTube) are O.K., everything comes apart fairly easy, programming straightforward. Install time about an hour (I tend to take my time)
