Adding Remote Start?

[DeathTrap]

This forum needs some love too!

Has anyone installed or considered installing an Alarm/Remote Start on their ZHP? My friend asked me to install one on their '08 Focus, so I decided to check if anyone had installed one on an E46. Apparently, not too many people have done it.

There is one DIY thread, doesn't seem too difficult: https://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=944672

I was just thinking about this today! That write-up doesn't look that straight-forward, though, it looks like it took an experienced EE 3 days to do it and the remote looks stupid. If you do get it set up you should do a write-up, the more the better

Picked up a Compustar Max It system with my eBay bucks.
Install goals:
Retain OEM siren and chirp sound
Retain all functions of the OEM key fob using the aftermarket fob
Add additional theft deterrents (fuel, starter and spark cut, piezo buzzers, etc)
Install stealthy as possible, or at least extremely difficult to get to.
Maximize capability of the brain (i.e. use as many outputs and functions as I find necessary or cool)

I'll keep this thread updated.
