Bulldog Remote Starter with Keyless Entry

Good product, the instruction doesn't included trouble shooting. I have to go online and look for Q&A.

But overall, good to have in the winter time. The signal range is kind of short not as description (400 feet).

I am happy to have it.

Once installation was complete, the unit worked perfectly. However, the installation was more difficult than it needed to be.

First, the installation instruction referred to a WHITE wire that was to be connected to a bypass module. This part of the instruction was vague in a couple of ways. 1) It did not specify what WHITE wire it was referring to while other areas of the instruction were quite specific (i.e. - BLACK wire with the Blue stripe on the 16-pin harness). 2) It said that the WHITE wire was to be connected to the BLUE wire on the bypass module. However, since there are mutliple different bypass modules available using a variety of color codes, this step created confusion.

Second, when it came time to connect the various plugs to the starter unit, there was no mention of a need to initialize the unit by stepping on the brake pedal and pressing the start button on the remote. Without this information, when I plugged in the unit, it began a repetitive clicking that would not stop. I had to unplug it and call for Technical Assistance to find out what I was missing.

Third, I found the "unlimited technical support" to be somewhat limited. When I ran into the aforementioned problems on a Saturday, I tried calling the 800 number only to find that technical assistance was not available on weekends. So I had to pack it in and wait until after work on Monday. Then when I called on Monday, it took over 30 minutes on hold before I actually had a person on the other end of the line. To his credit, the tech knew exactly what the problem was and I was able to finish the install in short order.

Overall, I am happy with the remote starter, but displeased with the quality of the supplied instructions and the limited availability of the technical support.

Bought this for my son's 05 Corolla. Buying the wiring harness easily cut the install time in half. Make sure to check Bulldon's web site to see if they have vehicle specific instructions for your car. Even with pictures from the web site, took longer than anticipated to install.

Got the damn thing working, only to quit. Began re-checking all the wiring. Put a paperclip to bypass the fuse and everything worked. Blew two of the supplied fuses.

Once installed, we're pleased with the functionality.

technical support from jbs for this bulldog remote start is excellant. the product meets all of my expectations and is very resonably priced. if you are looking to install a remote starter yourself, then this is the one to buy.

I spent much time asking tech support questions prior to the install since it is my first attempt doing something like this. The VCR tape is worth the time to watch, and I watched it several times before and during the install. It went fairly well, except for needing some resistors (not included) and having a remote with sticky buttons, which they have agreed to replace. The actual install took about 5-6 hours on a system with no factory alarm. Overall I am very satisfied with the remote starter, and found tech support reasonably available (busy season?) and willing to help. The written manual is a bit confusing, as is online info, but tech support is very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. They helped me immensely. I love having the remote starter. I recommend it highly.
