do any of you guys or gals have an aftermarket remote start on your S2000? The reason im asking is because im thinking about it and need a pro installer and someone that has done a s2000 before. any replys Thanks

 

Wouldnt that take away from the push button ignition, thats one of the unique aspects of our cars. Dont be too lazy come on now.

 

You're in Florida... right? Why on God's green earth would you need a remote start?

The only time I think it's remotely worthwhile is if you live in an ass-cold climate and need to start the car a few minutes early in the winter. Otherwise, it seems pretty lame.

 

he would still have the push button start Devon, its not like he would be using it every single time he went to the car.

 

I know he would still have it functionally, i meant that i like using the button only cuz people always ask, is that a push start? then... and its a honda! no way. thats my point.

 

If you have one installed, make SURE that it's done correctly. It MUST have a safety interlock to only allow starting the car when in neutral. That means that you cannot leave the car in gear as a backup to the emergency brake. One of the South Florida members did not have such an interlock and "drove" his car into a canal when a mechanic left his car in gear and he used the remote start!

 

Ouch!!!

 

Now who wants a remote start? Line forms to the right.

I had it on my old car. Its more show than anything. I would sometimes know before I got out of my car that it would be hot as shit when I got back in it and burn my ass on the leather, so I would set my a/c to full blast before I turned it off so I could start it from inside Chili's or something right when we got the bill.
