Default Auto Starter

Hi Everyone,

I recently purchased a '02 Xtype and I noticed an "Autostart" attenna near the rear view mirror. Could someone please advise how difficult it would be to get the car auto starter working?

Thank you,
Derek

I apologize for the remarks of a fellow patron on here but if it doesn't look factory take it to a shop that works on them and see what they say. I'd imagine you don't know too much about the remote starting systems so take it to a shop and have them take a look. Hopefully that helps while being a little more positive!

youch! chill-OUT, grumpy![:'(]

those of us who're new to this sortof thing like to post messages just to get some general direction, advice, and encouragement.

definitely take it into a shop to get it looked at; they'll give you an idea of what it'll cost and take to get that job done.should cost you nothing to have someone just take a look at it (quote).

Well Derek, I assume you don't have the remote control. In this case, I would start by finding the model number of the unit installed then contact Autostart about purchasing a replacement remote control and instruction manual (the manual may be available on line). Assuming the unit still works, which may or may not be the case, it could be just a matter of programming thenew remote.

If you can, contacting the previous owner would be advisable too. Maybe they still have the remote or at least know if the remote starter ever worked properly in the first place.
