Security Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 I don't know a lot about cars. Type with words that I can understand, please! Me and the wife are moving soon, from a big house with a garage that we are selling to a small townhome with a driveway and no garage. Might want remote starters. My car: 2006 Toyota Camry (yea, only 52K miles) Hers: 2012 Toyota Camry HYBRID I have heard good and bad, and heard that you may not want to mess with the hybrid with the remote starter. I do see this on Amazon, actually references 2012 Camry hybrid with the remote starter..... http://www.amazon.com/Remote-Starter-Genuine-Toyota-Accessory/dp/B006QCP8NK Your thoughts and opinions are greatly appreciated.......
Alaska Darin Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 I can't tell you anything about a RS for a hybrid. I've had remote starts on all my vehicles for over 15 years, including a couple of stick shifts. The new ones are awesome and have apps so you can start/monitor your car from your phone. For me, that's worth the extra coin. Just make sure (if you're not installing it yourself) that you go to a reputable place for the install. There are a lot of places in that business open for a short period of time and then close, leaving you with no recourse if something goes wrong.
boyst Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 My sister and brother in law use them. He has a 2500 Chevy gas motor and she has had a Sunfire, Compass and now an Equinox. They help living in the cold weather and they do use their gayrage. They haven't had any issues and they seem to be worthwhile and convenient.
Jim in Anchorage Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 Remote car starter? What for? So you can have the AC running before you get in the car.
Chef Jim Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 So you can have the AC running before you get in the car. Why would I waste energy for that? Only puzzies need their car cooled before they get in.
The Dean Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 Remote car starter? What for? I take it you aren't Sicilian. When my mother was still living in Niagara Falls, I got her one. She suffered from frostbite as a kid and has very poor circulation to her fingers and toes. So since I didn't live their to start the car for her, I figured this helped a bit to make sure the car was started, and warm, before she went out. She seemed to like it.
Jim in Anchorage Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 Why would I waste energy for that? Only puzzies need their car cooled before they get in. You waste energy every time you don't use a bike.
Chef Jim Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 You waste energy every time you don't use a bike. I have my priorities. I take it you aren't Sicilian. No marchigiani. We don't make enemies.
Jim in Anchorage Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 I have my priorities. Look we all know it was just a crack to point out again[for the millionth time] that you live in the perfect climate in California. No one cares.
The Dean Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 I have my priorities. No marchigiani. We don't make enemies. Ha! My mother was Sicilian. My father Marchigiani and Calabrese.
Just Jack Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 So you can have the AC running before you get in the car. When I had my truck, I used it during the summer also for that reason. Other people that I knew that had remotes had not realized they could do that also.
