Im looking to have a remote starter installed in my 99 Accord EX. Id like to keep the price as low as possible while getting something of good quality.

What I am leaning towards are:
AutoPage 615
CompuStar 1W900FM-S or the 1WAMAS
Valet 562T

Do any of you guys have experience with these? Is one particularly better than the others? What is the typical actual usable distance on these? The CompuStar claims up to 3000 feet, while the others are only about 600 feet.

Also, where is the cheapest place online to buy these?

Edit: Its an automatic tranny.

The Compustars are the only ones that will work on a standard transmission between the Valet, [DEI] and Compustar, not sure about the AutoPage, [but no indication that it does, on their site] so unless you have an auto trans. stick with the Compustar.

Compustar has no authorized on line sales of their products, only sold at authorized dealers, [and their on line sites]

If you do not buy from an authorized dealer, you will not get manufactures warranty, on any of them, both Compustar and DEI come with lifetime warranty, [from authorized dealers]

We sell both Compustar and DEI, find retail outlets http://www.compustar.com and http://www.dei.com

We do not sell AutoPage, so I can't be much help to you on it, other then to say it is a brand name product, AutoPage has been around longer then both Compustar and anything DEI has.

 

Most will work with auto trannies. Manual is when it gets tricky.

 

Actually all will work with both auto and manual, most of the ones for manual transmissions have a "ready mode" involves leaving the car running, [on the remote start] and getting out and closing door, [car must be out of gear if you got out when it's running] some automatically shut down motor when door is closed, others are programmable, [turbo timers] and as long as a door has not been opened, it will remotely start. 94
