Avital 4105L 1-Way Remote Start System with 4-Button Remote

This is probably the 6th one I have purchased over the years. They've always worked well. Can be installed in any vehicle if you know what you are doing. This is not for beginners

The media could not be loaded. This is a Remote Starter/Keyless entry system only. This is not an actual alarm system.Had to buy additional parts for the install. I needed a bypass module for the passlock 2 anti theft system for my vehicle and a door lock module as well. Most remote start units have negative style door lock triggers and my vehicle has positive (Type A) locks.You dont have to do any programming unless you want to change the default settings. The instructions are pretty clear. It runs for 12 minutes as a default setting and 1 press of the * symbol to remote start. The range is good as well.

For the price I paid for this system, the value is amazing. I bought one for each of my cars, they took about 1.5 to install and run the relays, new wires, and get everything set up. If you have a chip in your key, you will need extra parts to make the remote start portion work. I didn't need this, which made it a breeze to install. As others have mentioned, it doesn't come with "Installation Instructions", it also didn't come with a wiring diagram. It does come with a list of what each wire does, but that's about it. I strongly recommend you get this professionally installed if you're not familiar or comfortable with automotive wiring. The relay diagram is for a negative pulse door lock system. Also, a bitwriter is convenient, but not required, you can program it with the valet button and your fob. One thing I found annoying is that it doesn't come with a remote LED light, if you're handy you can solder one on the board where the mounted LED is and run it to your dash. Overall fantastic product for the money. Range has been good too, works from about 300ft away in a building.

Overall a great unit I think so far, it appears to work flawlessly. It’s pretty easy to install. But if you don’t know anything about car wiring or repairs don’t attempt it. I see some reviews saying it ruined their car, no it didn’t. You did by installing it wrong. If you know what your doing and have access to proper vehicle wiring schematics it’s a simple install. Took me one hour to install this unit on a basic 2006 Kia Rio. I hooked up every feature too, defrost control, horn, lights, locks, remote start, and anti-grind.Some reviews also complain about needing more parts. That the case with most of these kits. They can’t fit all the relays and things into these tiny boxes. Again it comes back to, if you know what your doing it’s easy. If you don’t, take it to a pro. Remote start isn’t for the typical DIYer unless it’s the simple plug and play versions.I am having one little quirk. It seems after driving the car, I exit the vehicle and lock it but I get no horn confirmation like it’s in the silent mode. But if I wait 60 seconds I do get horn confirmation and will continue to get horn confirmation until I switch the ignition on then it seems to go back to silent mode for 60 seconds. So this issue only exists right after turning off the car. When I first installed it, it did not have this issue. Then I changed some programming and this started happening. Called Avital and they said it was installed wrong which is not the case, it’s installed flawlessly and wasn’t doing this in the beginning or with the old unit I took out. So Something funky is happening because there is no programming option to cause what is happening. But amazon swapped it for me so I’ll see if the new one has the same issue or not. I think something just got mixed up in programming. Maybe it just needs a reset but I didn’t want to try that till I had a replacement on hand just in case that doesn’t work. So just be warned, Avital (AKA directed/Viper/python) will not help you if you have a weird issue. They will just say it’s installed wrong. Luckily amazon has your back! And hopefully this next one won’t have this horn issue. It’s not a huge deal and doesn’t affect the way it functions, more just bugs my OCD that it won’t work for 60 seconds after driving which is exactly when I lock the car and exactly when I want the horn confirmation so I know it’s locked.

Love this remote start unit for the price it can't be beat. I will tell you that it can be VERY hard to install unless you know cars and are good with wiring as well as reading the wiring diagrams for your car DO NOT try to do it your self. It will piss you off. This goes for all remote starters not just this one. But that aside this one has great range for the remote and you can adjust how long the car will run on remote start. you can program it to turn on the rear defroster. But I think the best part it that it dose not over run the starter after the engine starts like i've seen many others do. Also plan on having to buy and wire in some relays because some outputs are positve when your car will need a negitive signal a bit of a pain but all cars are different so thats to be expected. This unit should work in all cars however most newer cars will need a bypass modual in order to interface with your cars anti theft system. So do some research and your cars anti theft system before buying so you know what your getting into.

Hasn’t haven’t started so we never used it then he bought a new vehicle so now he has So used for it so we talked in the garbage instead of having it back to me. See if I can give it to someone that needed it.

I had to return the product because my technician told me that the equipment could damage my cart.
