1st Customer Review : Avital 4301LX Remote Starter
More of this review is about the installation experience than the unit itself. If someone else will be doing the installation you may want to skip to the "Actual Product Review" section.
The Avital 4103LX is a remote starter manufactured by Directed Electronics, who also manufacture the Clifford, Python and Viper brands (among others). The 4103LX (which replaced the older 4103L) comes with two one-way remotes and has no alarm features. Since my wife's 2004 Sable station wagon is not exactly high on the "vulnerability to theft" chart, the factory alarm offers more than adequate protection. Two-way remotes (which show on the remote when the car is running) are fancier but they reportedly chew through batteries quickly. Therefore I decided that a one-way system like the 4103LX would best suit our needs.
For years most cars have had additional security devices built into their keys. This is why keys now cost $30-$300 rather than 45 cents. Installing a remote...

2nd Customer Review : No support, Require authorized dealer to install
This product should not be listed on amazon or anywhere really. It comes with a page that says the installation and owners guides can be found on directed.com. I bought the factory refurb version, so I was not all that surprised. I went to their website and it is locked behind a username/password area for dealers only. I contacted Directed (manufacturer of Avital) and they stated they will not provide the installation guide. They also said it is only supposed to be installed by an authorized directed dealer.
Bottom Line: DO NOT BUY the company is not interested in working with their customers just their dealers. I wont be buying any products from Directed or their subsidiaries in the future. There are plenty of other companies who are happy to help their customers, Directed is not one of them.
3rd Customer Review : Great product, but beware the installer!
I had this product installed professionally in a 2007 Toyota Highlander. Cost $300 + tax (price includes the bypass module)
Pros -
Works as advertised. Starts the car from several hundred feet away.
The bypass module for the car immobilizer system doesn't need a key permanently.
The car still needs to have the key in ignition when you try to physically move the car, or the engine cuts out when you press the brake or shift the gear.
This unit can control numerous features using different combination of keys. See point below in the cons
Cons -
Doesn't have any indication on the remote whether the car has started. My car has headlights that turn on, so this wasn't that big a deal. But for others this might be a pain.
You will need a bypass module if you have any late model car. This runs from $10 to $50. Buy the higher end models or else you will need to leave a key permanently in cheaper low end bypass module...
