Advanced Keys Installer???
Has anyone in the Bay Area installed the Advanced Keys push to start/keyless entry? If so where and how much?
Thanks in advance! I’ll probably hold off on the purchase if I can’t find someone, too many bad experiences using random car alarm shops on family members vehicles! |

I had the Advanced Key system mainly for the proximity entry but was removed 11 months late cause there was a shortage in the wiring and melted/severed wires in my car! Thank goodness the car didn't go up in flames. It might have been an install issue rather than a unit issue, but none the less I'd say stay away from aftermarket push to starts!

I've done the install myself. The only issue I have at the moment is that I would have to cycle my push start in order for my dashlights to operate properly ( vsq switch,trac control lights) although other indicators works fine. The probable cause might be the idata link module which was a hassle to program ( I didn't want to opt out to make another copy of my key fob).
Aside from that, the support from them ( I think his name is Brian, it's been over a year since the install) helped a lot and he does suggest key fob device ( I'm on my phone, I can't remember the name of it) instead of idatalink. The device used in the easygo push start diy is similar to the device he suggested (uses a spare key). There were a few things he mentioned thats not a apart of the instructions, combining 2 wires from the ignition. Anyways, install wasn't that hard at all. Just time, patience, and small hands lol. I soldered all my wires ( try to avoid using the plastic taps/splices). Also to add, I opt out of the remote start since I'm using a different key fob. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk |

They installed mine without any major issues. Nice enough guys that seem to know their stuff and reasonably priced. |

Nice, which immobilizer did you end up using to have it installed? I'm tired of my idatalink locking me in my car lol |

SO it was kind of a half/half install. I installed the antennas myself and had some of the stuff in place. They did all the wiring cause I just couldn't figure it out. But yeah I do have the push start/proximity keys. It's so nice. I've have a couple random problems that popped up since I had it installed a few years ago, but nothing too traumatic. To be honest I don't remember. I had my own immobilizer I was going to use, but I ended up going with what they recommended, which again I'm not sure which one it was. I feel pretty confident it wasn't some rando no name one though. |
