Debest, it you wired to the all up/down buttons with the smart windows then it was not done correctly. You need to wire directly to the motor wires as the all up wires are serial data and need to be tied into differently.

NO!!! NOt even close. Now the Avg5 does not have 2 way (yet), but it does have the most sophitocated sensors ever made (all 2 zone, remotely adjustable except the tilt which is a dei throw in), window rollup, full remote start with many extra options (low battery self start, low temp self start), anti car jack, battery bakcup siren, CODED valet switch, serial data ports, 16 channel remotes (waterproof), and on and on!!

I'm going with the Viper anyone try to do it themselves if so how bad is it?

Not too bad if you have done a few!! Make sure you get the correct interfaces for the passkey bypass and the databus (door locks, oem arm/disarm). Let me know if you need a wire sheet and I will email you one.

I have a Viper alarm with remote start and it took the shop a while to install it and they had to get a couple of special relay for it. Unless you are extremely good with electronics I would not try it.

kodiakz,
I will try what you are suggesting for the windows. Will the windows still vent on the down side or will they work all up or all down when the alarm is armed and disarmed? Also what interface do I need to use for the heated seats???

The windows will vent and function properly. For the heated seats, you will need to open that switch and solder directly to the board. Then just tie that to one of the extra outputs from the alarm and all is good!

damn!All these good choices!

Too bad there is not a way to turn on the heated seats too! </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

If you want to turn on your heated seats, you'll want a Fortin/Crimestopper GM-SL Bypass Kit. You'll need a bypass anyway to install a remote start in a H2, so you might as well get this one that has a few extras including turning on the heated seats and rear defogger when it's cold out. It controls the heated seats through the truck's data bus, so there's no need for extra wiring. It reads the temp from the existing data bus in the truck so there's no need to add a temp sensor and you don't have to remember to push an extra button on the remote to turn the seats on.

Mine should be here on Monday, but I won't have a chance to install it for another week or two.

Here's some info...

That is a good find!! Never seen that one before, but it looks identical to the others that are made by Bypasskits for just about everyone. I wonder if you will be able to select the temp at which the seats are activated? There is another version of that piece around that will give you control of the 3 passenger windows via databus as well.

VT - I don't know if you've made up your mind yet, or already had one installed, but here is a quick update.

I got my H3 (with Viper 571xv) the other day and everything has been great, except for it being colder than a witch's bewbe around here lately. Uggh.

Last night I took my wife and son out to get a Christmas Tree and dinner. We got the tree and had dinner and when I went to start the H3 the remote replied that the request had failed (different sort of beep). So I tried again and had success.

Now this may be the most obvious thing ever, but to me was perfect. I would have assumed that the H3 was running and then gone out to find a frozen truck. 2-Way remotes are great. I love this thing!

I would say Compustar I have it on all my cars....and my family as well....biggest range...I've had all of DEI (Viper/Python) nothing compares to distance of Compustar
