Remote Starter Install - Who has one?
Looking at installing a remote starter (Compustar with Drone) on my SQ5.
One reputable shop in town has done them before. Other reputable shop states same, but cautions that if you have problems you will be totally shut down and calling a tow truck should it fail.
I want one due to the northern winter we have. I had a Compustar before and it was flawless on an Acura.
1) Has anyone installed one on a SQ5 or Q5?
2) Which model of starter?
3) Have you had any issues with it?
Thanks.

Got a q5 2.0t 2013. I Installed a old Autostart with a new bypass module from online. No issues works great and easy to install. compared to some cars.

Why not instal an engine pre-heater i.e. coolant heater? It would be much cheaper wouldn't it? Cost of electricity is cheaper than the cost of gas fuel. It's $0.077/kW.hr here from 7pm-7am. Let it run for 1-5hrs and you'll get a toasty cabin.
If you let the engine running in the morning to warm up the cabin you simply get 0.0 L/100km, wear and tear, engine kmtrage is higher than the odometer etc.
