Which remote start do you recommend ?

I have a 2006 Toyota Camry XLE and 2007 Rav 4 limited and would like
one remote starter fob that will start booth vehicles. I was thinking
of having an Audiopage RS622 installed in booth vehicles.
Reliability is very important to me. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks

One of the most troublesome accessories I've seen are aftermarket security
systems and remote starter systems. Most are installed with Scotch-lock
connectors which often work loose, or they cause other problems. Someone
recently posted a question regarding his van that would randomly start by
itself - he'd come out to the driveway and find it running. Turns out that
it was an old remote starter system that was causing the problem. I've seen
aftermarket systems cause dead batteries or other no-start conditions. Some
aftermarket systems are great, but more are less than reliable.

I put a Bulldog remote starter/door lock on my Toyota 3 years ago.
Works great. Installation wasn't to difficult. Sams has them at a good
price.
It's 20 degrees outside, if I go any where today you better believe
I'll start the car 5 or 10 minutes from inside the house before I go any
where.

What a waste. Wasting fuel and wearing the engine unnecessarily. The
BEST way to warm up an engine is to drive the car gently as soon as
it's started; that's also the quickest way to warm it up.

Twenty degrees?? Hardly cold. Minus twenty maybe . . . .

But I love my remote starter; was sick of scraping ice each winter.

Just so you can all feel better about life: GBP 0.849/litre here,
the other day before latest price drops of GBP 0.02 or so. (Erm,
in foreign-speak that'd be 3 cowrie shells or $6.27/funnygallon.)

Roughly half of the USA'n retail price for Gasoline and Diesel is in
taxes and fees leveled at all levels of extraction, refining and
transport, wholesale distribution and retail sale, so if you are
paying triple what we are...

Gee, I thought the Queen repealed the 95% top tax rate - the one
that inspired the line "That's one for you, nineteen for me." And the
reason why the Beatles left England and 'Mr. Tax Man' to live in
greener pastures where you keep most of what you earned (as did
everyone else with lots of money and any common sense in those days).

Let's see, we had that 'little Tea Tax protest' in Boston Harbor in
December 1773, what could you lot do that would have the same sort of
lasting impact on public policy...? ;-)

Well, a drunken gang of our lads could raid McDonalds costumed as
Beefeaters and chuck all their buns in the Thames. That any use?

20 degrees. That's barely below freezing. What an incredible wimp you are.
Up here in Edmonton, we don''t plug in our block heaters or start the car
early, UNLESS it is below MINUS 25 Celsius, i.e. 13 BELOW Fahrenheit.
