ETCG NEW INSTALL VIDEO SUGGETION

[joey avallone]

Hey Eric was just thinking of a new video suggestion for one of your installation videos. I think a remote starter installation would make for a pretty cool how to video.

Thanks Eric!! Stay Dirty!!

Honestly, I don’t think it would be cool. As a technician I hate those things. They add a whole new layer to a no start diagnosis. In fact, this has been requested before. I’m not saying I won’t do one at some point, as most of the problems I’ve seen were due to poor installation, but it won’t be anytime soon. Mostly because I won’t be installing one on any of my own vehicles.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I hear ya Eric haha as a mechanic myself I know!! Ive never done one myself or really seen one done for that matter. To be honest Ive always been scared to mess with stuff like that myself even aftermarket alarm systems due to no starts on my own vehicle in the past.It was before my automotive education so I was completely dumbfounded!! My current Vehicle is my first that i have one on only because it was factory so i knew it had to wired up correctly. Thanks for the reply Eric have a great weekend! Stay Dirty

If it does happen, it will be on someone else’s vehicle. Alarm systems are another animal entirely. I’m not fond of those either.

Have a great weekend yourself and thanks again for the suggestion.
