Hello,
I recently purchased a remote starter for my vehicle before learning about your product. Let me tell you the problem I am having with my current starter and then ask you to clarify the features of the EVO-ALL so that I can decide if your unit is better suited for my car.
I have a 2010 Lexus IS 250 with push to start. The car is set up so that when it is running, the OEM remote can no longer operate the lock/unlock feature for the doors. I had an avital (model 4113) remote starter installed by a professional and he is telling me that I have to a.) start the car with the remote starter remote (not oem remote) and b.) once I start the car with the remote starter, I then have to actually turn the car off to unlock the car and restart it again to drive. He said the only way around this is to use an optional feature that would enable the new remote to unlock the doors but he can't program the OEM remote to do either. This is annoying and not at all what I wanted for two reasons: 1. the oem key fob is already pretty bulky and I do not want to have to carry and use two different remotes (key fobs) and 2. It's annoying and probably bad for the car to start and stop and start the car just so I can get into it and drive.
So I decided to do a little research and I came across your product which sounds like exactly what I was looking for in the first place but I have some questions I need answered to clarify the features of the EVO-ALL for my car set up as follows:
1. Am I able to install tihs myself? I live in Southern NJ and there doesn't seem to be any installers in this area and from the sounds of it, your unit uses wire harness plugs made for my vehicle, right? I'm pretty handy and believe I can do it if I have the proper instructions and there is no soldering involved.
2. Will I be able to use the factory OEM key fob to start/stop the car and to get in and out of the car? From what I understand on your website, this is the case unless I want to improve upon the range.
3. Does your unit bypass the OEM security to allow the OEM remote to unlock/lock the doors while the car is running? This is the kicker so I'm trying to be very specific so that you understand... as it stands now, my OEM remote will not unlock/lock the doors if the car is running. Does you unit bypass this?
-Thank you so much. I really appreciate your time and I hope to hear from you soon.
