Remot Start Questions

Probably has been asked/answered a few hundred times here, but don't let that stop me... [rolleyes]

Have a 06 ZX3 SES and would like to add a remote starter.

Primo Reason for Remote Starter: On the cold frosty mornings want to warm up/defrost vehicle, but down here in sunny SC that is necessary not too often for not too long...

Vehicle came with factory keyless entry/panic alarm fob.

Finally, the Question: Can I add a remote starter and KEEP the factory keyless entry? In other words, it would be swell if I could just keep the remote start fob in the house, use it once in the morning to warm up the vehicle, but continue to use the factory fob for keyless entry...

Cheers,

im assuming you have an auto, it is possible to put a remote start in a mtx but its very unsafe and even illegal in some states.

but the question your asking, should be yes for most if not all systems, most remote starts that incorporate the lock/unlock function just tap into the system not replace it. and if im not mistaken there are a few systems out there that only do the remote start, and nothing more.

hope this helps
