Going to buy remote lock/alarm/start etc. Options

[AnaXyd]

Hello!

I saw some items on a webpage (http://www.rclick.co.uk), and were inspired to do this to my car.

I found an item that looked interesting: http://www.rclick.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=399

Really cool with the VAG look on the keys, and the system were cheap too! (or?)

My car is a Toyota Celica 1996 mod, 1,8l engine (AT/ST200) with manual locking system. (The key looks like this)

So, I got some questions about this.

- Is this something for me?
- Does this system fit for my car?
- Is this "bolt-on" or does it need giant modifications?
- Can I program the key to work as my old key? (Code for the startlock etc.)
- What is the difference between package1 and this package2?


Any answer will be appreciated!

It looks like package 1 will only allow central remote locking/unlocking, where package two has an alarm and also incorporates the windows. You won't be able to use it on manual windows though, you'll need to install electric window motors (basically convert your windows to power windows) in order for this module to work with the windows. I happen to be in the process of doing this myself.

Wiring-wise, from what I've experienced and from my understanding of others, basically, it's a bitch to do if you don't have experience doing it. I'm working on the windows now (and using a module to integrate remote lock/unlock and window roll up/down) and it's been quite the learning experience. Currently I have one power window that does not work yet - the other window I've left manual for now until I get the one working, so I have at least one window that rolls down while I'm figuring this out.

Installing an alarm from what I understand is complicated business. Installing remote start is even more complicated. This is all possible, however, but it will take a lot of time and patience, and IMO is worth paying a professional to install it for you so you don't run the risk of shorting out important electrical components of your car.
