Another 2 Big Thumbs Up for KCAutoSound
Just wanted to give 2 huge thumbs up to Travis at KCAutosound!!!!!! I installed a CodeAlarm CA680 this past weekend using a prewired unit I purchased from him. With his help everything went smoothly and couldnt be happier!!
I first emailed Travis through his website with some general questions like how hard was the install, did I need any special tools, etc. Travis called me personally within 2 hrs of me sending off that email, and he helped me choose a system that would work well with my truck and get me what i wanted out of a remote starter system. I originally wanted a CA530 but he helped me choose a different system becuase the 530 would not work with the factory keypad in my door.
I was hesitant at first because although i have a fair amount of experience with car mechanical systems and car audio, remote starters and security systems are a black art. I was afraid i'd cut through the wrong wires, but with Travis' instructions (with great pictures too btw) and prewired unit, I installed the system like a pro! (almost, just a lot slower!) All together it took me about 8 hrs to install (I spent time testing each wire, temporarily taped everything together, and once I verified it all worked I soldered everthing) and that includes an hour break for lunch :-) Of course I found out that all his wiring instructions and colors and where to find the wires were dead on...
I cant say enough good things about the customer service during the installation as well... I ran into a snag with programming the bypass module, and I called Travis on a SUnday afternoon (probably his only day off during the week!) and he walked me through the process.
The system works great, awesome range and love the remote starter system. It has the LCD display with confirming text, so i know without looking outside to know if the truck is started, system armed/disarmed, and interior temperature. Love this system!!!
All in all I can say that if you have the ability to put in an aftermarket car stereo head unit, then you have the ability to install a system prewired by Travis. Even after my system was installed, I emailed him about the possibility of putting in a starter in my father in laws' Pontiac, and he's helping me to choose a system for him too
He's a helluva nice guy too on top of being super knowledgable, and I cant wait to purchase and install another system from him!!!
