Last time I installed a remote start system it was on an old Dynasty whose wiring was too delicate to work on really. A couple weeks after installation it started ok but a ton of white smoke came from under the dash. I uninstalled the entire system and everything was fine after that.

So in picking out a starter for this '02 Taurus I want something simple that will work with this car well. The start systems I'm seeing are generally designed to do door locking and unlocking, trunk release, etc. As this car already has those functions on a fob I won't be using any function on any future remote start system other than the remote start.

Can anyone with knowledge of my car recommend a decent but low cost / low extra functions start system that would work well with my Taurus?

Thanks

 

you get what you pay for... that being said you are going to pay the same for a remote start only or one that has the door lock functions on it. The remote starts now are just plug and play basically no wire cutting at all. You buy the remote start and the harness to match your veh. I always find it better to have a shop do it.. then if anything goes wrong its their issue not yours... sometimes its worth the money especially on older veh...
