TSS 10-09-09, 12:32 PM A few folks got them a while back here. Posts were negative in general. A forum search, maybe for "new fobs" around early 2008 should yield results. Biggest complaint was the enormous size. Hattat 10-09-09, 01:19 PM I had installed last month. The only advantage is that you can check if the vehicle was started remotely. You can see a count down timer on the lcd screen. The other functions are completely useless. Tire pressures, fuel level, door lock status and yes its huge. Now swapped to the original fob. Merc 10-09-09, 06:58 PM Could anyone take a picture of them side by side and post them to this thread? Thanks. TSS 10-10-09, 03:27 PM If you do a thread search, a side by side photo was posted. murphy 10-12-09, 12:23 AM I wanted to see if anyone has had it installed . Any glitches ? Waste of money and time...range increase is marginal http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h318/gpchase/IMG_1971.jpg Merc 10-13-09, 12:52 AM Murphy, Thank you for p;osting the pictures. murphy 10-13-09, 12:54 AM Murphy, Thank you for p;osting the pictures. My pleasure ! allpedal 10-13-09, 01:54 AM what does the LCD remote do? murphy 10-13-09, 01:58 AM what does the LCD remote do? Starts and stops the vehicle and other functions as Hattat mentioned allpedal 10-13-09, 02:27 PM Starts and stops the vehicle and other functions as Hattat mentioned thanks I was just trying to see if there were a few more details... murphy 10-13-09, 02:37 PM thanks I was just trying to see if there were a few more details... It's pretty basic..does not give you programming options for times start or temp start,has a fixed run time of ten minutes with the same restart times as stock,shows fuel level,tire pressure issues,motor temp..etc A Titan starter would be a much better buy. TSS 10-13-09, 02:59 PM thanks I was just trying to see if there were a few more details... I think post 3 covers the gimicky options. Would be fun, maybe, if it were not so big. allpedal 10-13-09, 08:14 PM ok sounds like a waist of money, I'm really wanting to get the others and get them going on mine, thanks guys! Big Windy Ext 10-14-09, 12:18 AM Gotta say thanks for all the replies and the pic. , I would like it if the increase in range was dramatic . I had a two way by Compustar on my Suburban , the remote alerted me to my truck being hit ,while I was on the 10th floor of a building only to watch the guy drive away !!:annoyed: Knowing the truck starts without going to see if it started might be worth it in the winter when I would use it the most . Wanna sell yours Murphy ? Hattat ?:D murphy 10-14-09, 12:22 AM Gotta say thanks for all the replies and the pic. , I would like it if the increase in range was dramatic .

The locals are flogging a device associated with the Titan starter that uses text messaging on a cell phone..maybe that's what you need :) | |
