6.o remote start?

[icarus]

Looking at a remote start for an '06 6.0 F350. As Winter draws near, it'd sure be nice to enjoy another cup of coffee in the house while the rig get's warm. My dealer had one and pretty much just said "You can make it work, you can have it!" The thing looked like a spiderweb of wires a nd connections...

Anybody running one and who's is it?

yup thats what i had
do a search , there about as many out there as carter has liver spots

but do use a quality installer not a hack and strip guy

i don't know too much about them... i just know when i had a viper on my 03 i had that options... but we don't have gassers so i would be extra caustious as to who installs it...

Im an installer for Car Toys in Colorado and have done so many in Super Dutys that its hard to count! It is so very worth it! It is not the easiest to do if you have not done one before. If you do have someone do this for you make sure they are MECP (mobile electronics certification program) certified. Always go with a reputable local shop. Best Buy does not have the best installers! Some are qualified but most Best Buys wont even do these systems. The 3 most reliable and trustworthy systems out there are made by D.E.I. and are: Viper, Python, and Clifford. You can go to Directed Electronics - Security & Remote Start | Home Theater | Satellite Radio | Car Audio & Video and see what they have available. A lot of these systems are alarm/remote start combo units which is your best option. You can protect the vehicle and start it. I know this was kind of a ramble but if you have any more questions let me know.

Thanks for the input. Having installed these in an '06 6.0 DIESEL which of the systems that are mentioned actually worked? I'm curious as to how the remote start accounts for the pre heat of the glow plugs prior to cranking.

The remote starts have a built in "wait to start" which is adjustable from 5-60 seconds to allow the glow plugs to warm up before it cranks. All of the systems made by DEI are top quality systems. Have you looked at Directed Electronics - Security & Remote Start | Home Theater | Satellite Radio | Car Audio & Video You should to see all that they have to offer. Some have alarms and some are just remote start systems. I am 100% positive they will have a system that will fit your needs.
