remote car starterDec 15, 2008
I was going to install this in my wife's 1999 Ford Explorer. After opening up the package it looked like everything was bundled nicely and simple enough. As I started reading the instruction booklet I got scared enough to put everything back in the package and save it for the garage sale next spring. I'm mechanically inclined but unless you know what you're doing under the dash and know the electrical motor requirements of the electric doors/locks/windows then you may want to leave this to the professionals, like I'm going too.
The booklet tells you to use the CD to contact their Website (with the secret code that comes within the package) so you can get the particulars for the type of car you're installing it in. The basic info on how to do it is in the booklet but specifics you'll need to know common to your actual car is in their Website. You'll need to do this before you cut any wires or make any connections. Failure to install this unit correctly can fry circuits in the car electronics.
If you're still confused you can call their Tech Support. The booklet warns that if you fail to install wires correctly you may activate the Airbag System, lock out the ignition, etc. I don't need all the features this unit has but it doesn't say how to bypass them. Too many things can go wrong during installation and I don't want to be without the car if I get stumped so I'm passing this on and let someone else try it on their car instead. It's not worth possibly ruining the car. If you're a car jock then it may be for you. I'd rather play it safe and apply the $50 towards the professionals installing a dealer-supplied system.

Avoid this product even if you are very technical...Jan 13, 2007
Concerning the BOA Remote Start System
with Keyless Entry
Been working on an installation in a 2003 Toyota 4Runner.
Would not do this again !!! The instruction manual is incorrect and missing much data. I have had to contact Tech support several times (once was waiting 1.5 hours to get connected) and the tech support seems to know product but not sure why the installation instructions are not clear.
Their web site was incorrect on the module that was required to override the immobilizer system. I can not return the wrong module and had to purchase the correct one. Tech support admits the web site was incorrect and stated they will tell their web master. I should have taken the product back after all their disclaimers about they will not be responsible for incorrect information!!!!! If you attempt you will find this is an installation you will NEVER forget. So far I have 24 Hours involved in the installation and still have not got the correct immobilizer module to work. Hopefully the installation has not fried something like the ECM (ie ~$1000.00).
Don't fall for this cheap hardware, you will pay for it in installation cost or time....

Poor product, bad service!Dec 27, 2006
I bought a Remote Start System and it does not work. The switch is always conductive on both positions. The system can not be programmed. The instructions are inconsistent from the booklet and their pre-recorded tech support message. The CD doesn't provide any useful information. They don't grant warranty if you bought it from on-line. (even if they do, you still have to pay $20!)

 Loved it at first.....Nov 09, 2005
Took a little bit longer to install than I thought it would, but I wanted it done RIGHT. First try after installing it and it worked great!!! It worked great for about 3 months, then the range kept getting shorter and shorter, till I had to be within 5 FEET of the vehicle!!!! (for locks AND starter) -- what good is a remote starter if you have to be 5 feet from vehicle?!
Company DID replace the main box, so I didn't have to do any re-wiring. Just took the old box to the store and they opened a new one for the exchange. GREAT!!!! But the SAME THING happened. Worked for about 5 months, then the range got shorter and NOW it doesn't work at all. Even after LOTS of re-programing attempts, and re-grounding the system. Sure the price is right, but I still expect the product to work!
