I bought this item after my Bulldog Keyless Entry took a dive. I was a little hesitant because of the price point and lack of details on the product's capabilities but after I received and installed it, it ROCKS! Much better than the Bulldog at about 40% less. I have basic installation experience but you don't even need that to install this thing if you can follow instructions carefully.

If you're looking for the best bang for your buck and you don't care about the crazy bells and whistles that come with the latest whizbang keyless entry systems, this is the best value out there.

First, I was installing into a car that did not have factory auto door locks. After the lock solenoids were installed, I needed to added a couple of relays to make the AA925 operate the locks, cheap though at $2 ea off ebay.

Also programming has to be done carefully. My first attempts were really reprogramming the remotes, until everything got messed up. Got the remote programming manual on-line (it SHOULD have been in with the unit), straightened out the programming, and it works perfectly. Decent range, lights flash, horn toots, and it CAN be used for remote start with another relay installed ($2) and can disable the ignition (another $2 relay), but I didn't go that way.

Looking forward to completing my task of making the trunk opener working, this is a neat project, great value, just a little more trouble than I anticipated.

I had this in for almost a year in my 2002 Tacoma. My truck had power locks but no OEM remote option installed. I installed this and it was fairly straight forward. I did some research on my truck's wiring before starting to insure a smooth install. It went very well with no real problems.

The only gripe I have is the range of one remote even after changing batteries. It is very limited, however the other has a adequate range of about 50ft. Regardless, I don't have to use the key to unlock the door.

Overall. A bargain for the price.

Can't beat $20 pops the locks and closes them, but might want to cover if you put in door, device is not water resistant, hooked it up myself in a few minutes. Fairly easy

Unless you are an electrical engineer, do not purchase this with the intent to self-install it in a Chrysler product with a one-wire lock/unlock system. After about a week and half of trying to install it myself (with 2 calls to Audiovox's technical support people), I finally had to take it to a professional. To make it work, the professional had to add another part (at a cost of $57.00). The final insult is that to make the system unlock all doors you have to (1) press the unlock button, (2) wait until the driver's door unlocks, and (3) exactly 3 seconds after the driver's door unlocks, press the unlock button a second time. Failure to follow this procedure exactly results in extreme frustration (but not unlocked doors).

audiovox aa925,is a great buy. I didn't want remote start,but keyless,is nice.Hooked it up myself,94 grand cherokee,was not bad.just door locks,not starter disable,or dome light.it has it, but,buy more parts,not.remotes work real good,soild not cheap.spipping took tues-mon,not bad from arizona.

I order two and thought I got an excellent price.
The Audiovox AA925 is advertised as a Security and Remote Start System.
It is wrongly described and does not have these features.

The instructions only described setting up the keyless entry.
There were no directions or wires for the remote start and security features.
I called Audiovox technical support, in order to pick their brains.

The technician confirmed that it ONLY was capable of these features.
I asked him "please explain exactly what you mean by capable"?
He explained those features only work with optionally purchased controllers.

The controller for the remote start was another $70.00 add on.
I didn't ask about the security one, since I was only interested in remote start.
I recently returned them to Amazon for a full refund, since they were mis-represented.

So be advised: This is ONLY a Keyless Entry System !!!
