remote start

[deniswhite1]

hey guys i want to put on a remote start on my 04 aveo with manual trans with all power options.
im geting a deal on a cheap prostart one, http://www.autostart.ca/prostart/prod-en_CT-3200.php

how hard is it to install, and what else would i need to get everything working.
does aveo's keys have transponders in em?

I was told that every year except 07's have transponders. When I installed one on my 07, I didn't need a by-pass. Mine is an automatic SVM and it took me about 3 hours to install it.

Actually I have an engine blocking system on my 07 aveo and transponder car keys. So I had a bypass installed along with the remote start car alarm system. I have a Tomahawk car alarm and it's the second Tomahawk I've had. Not sure if they are sold in North America.

How do you have a Special Value Model with an automatic? Don't they only come with manual?

LMFAO wow some please tell me if i need a bypass

Hey man, you need to check if you have an immobilizer and the way to do it is as simple as falling off a log I already posted that somewere here and I saw it on another forum. Someone recommended wrapping the plastic part of the key with a couple layers of aluminum foil thus blocking the transponder if any and trying starting car with that key. If the car wouldn't start a bypass is required.

you can do that, or try removing the steering column cover. if there are wires running to the actual lock cylinder and not just the ignition switch, it most likely has one.

See if you can get a cheapy key cut at your local store for 2 bucks. If they can cut it try to start the car with it, if it starts, no bypass necessary. If it cranks and no starty, bypass needed.

Yes a cheapy key is also a great idea but aluminum foil is still cheaper if you have it of course. :P
