Bulldog RS1100 Remote Starter with Keyless Entry

Comment: This is the second remote start that I have installed in our cars. For the price you can't go wrong. It took me about 4-5 hours to install but it is every bit worth it. It just takes time finding the correct wires and getting to them. The tech service help from Bulldog is great. They were very good at trouble shooting my issues and helping me along the way. The remote is easy to use and has great range, ~400ft. I would definitely recommend this product to others.

Comment: Very nice to have on those hot or cold mornings! Professional installation recommended. Overall a great product!

Comment: I installed this remote start into a 1994 GMC 3500 dump truck. The truck originally had no power door locks or windows and I recently installed a power door lock system. (Which I purchased on Amazon...see my other reveiw.) The main reason I installed the remote start was for the keyless entry feature.

Although this installation was pretty straight foward, you need some mechanical/electrical experience. It should not be attempted by a complete novice.

The included directions and DVD were very complete and easy to understand and follow. I was able to attach the remote start to my power door lock module simply and it works great. The remote start has never failed to start the engine. Very nice to have a warm truck when parked outside in the winter.

I've been using it for about 2 months now and for the money, it can't be beat.

Comment: I agree with other negative posts. the tech support is a scam. Anyone putting in 4star ratings and talking about cheerful tech support agents has got to be a plant. I installed the unit on a Dodge Stratus with moderate success. Took about 6 hrs. It worked for a couple weeks, now just restarts every 5 seconds. I emailed tech support a couple weeks ago and never heard back. I have called tech support about a dozen times and get nothing, not even an answering machine. I'm sure my problem could be answered pretty quickly by a knowledgeable support person, but it appears that no such support exists. I'm tempted to rip it out and try to get my money back.

I purchased 2 remote starters. The installation was cumbersome, mostly taking the dash apart and locating wires. The suggestion from Amazon was to add the pass lock and relays which I didn't need for one vehicle but needed the pass lock for the newer vehicle. We also purchased the t-harness from the site recommended by BullDog to aid in installation, it removes the guess work of locating most of the wires but not all. After install, during the first week, if the heater motor was set to high in one vehicle, or the auto headlight light function on the other was energized the remote starter would shut off and keep restarting for the default set by BullDog, three or four times. There is a current set limit of 10 amps which we solved one of two ways, connecting and setting tach mode on and connecting to the tack wire or to the 12V heavy gauge wire associated with the installation. Both methods seem to work. The signal is also strong and is able to go through 3 walls and also be used in a metal building, I don't know if the signal strength is typical of remote car starters. It works well and is American Made.
