Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Never again be caught in the cold waiting for your car to warm up--or worse, discovering too late that your battery is dead. You can have your car ready when you are with the Bulldog RS102 remote car starter with keyless entry. A four-button extended range remote transmitter with dedicated start and stop, the RS102 allows you to program an automatic start or short run time (5, 10, or 15 minutes), and helps you find your car in a crowded parking lot.

A programmable hot start permits you to set a temperature at which your car will start automatically. The same system works for deep cold. Use the automatic cold start by programming your car for ignition at a set freezing temperature without using the remote control. In crowded parking lots, the car finder feature will flash the lights and blow the horn to help you locate the vehicle. Keyless entry and the instant panic feature offers security and personal protection--the horn will sound loudly and the lights will flash at the touch of a single button. The Bulldog RS102 remote car starter with remote control includes heavy-duty external relays, tach or tachless hookup, and a trunk release feature, plus the reassurance of a limited lifetime warranty.

Product Description

4 button extend range remote - can start vehicle up to 400 feet away. Remote lock and unlock your doors, pop your trunk and programmable runtime to 15 min. Auto cold start (start car at set temp.) Dedicated start and stop buttons.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works as advertised, December 11, 2001

The product worked as advertised. Granted, the installation was difficult but that's because of having to work in a cramped space and at awkward angles. One job I'd never want to have is an automobile electronics installer! But if you follow the directions step by step, and get the wiring chart for your vehicle from Bulldog's web site, the unit should work. Mine worked the first time and I'm happy with it. The programming is a little convoluted but without any external switches or interfaces, I guess button pushing sequences is all that's left. I was skeptical about Bulldog's method for splicing wires (no soldering or crimp connectors) but it works and you don't have to cut and splice any wires. They provide a little voltage tester that was a big help. Its a probe with an alligator clip on one end and an LED at the other end and it was very helpful in finding the correct wires. Just be patient and accept that working under a car dash is a real pain!

I bought this module for my honda car, after reading that its easy to install. But when I bought it I found out it was difficult to install. In fact I ended up paying a car mechanic to install it.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's cheap, and it works, November 30, 2003

I have installed 2 of these, one in my Windstar, and the other in my F150 Pickup. The F150 was my second one, and was relatively easy, about 3 hours. The Windstar was my first, and took a lot longer, I had a defective unit, the company replaced it no hassle. It can be tricky to put these in, there is very little room to maneuver under your steering column. Their website gives wiring information for many models. If you are not mechanically inclined, don't even try. I would hesitate to put these on a newer, still under warranty vehicle, only because a screwup might create warranty issues. I'm getting 2 more for my parents for Christmas. Bulldog sells wiring harnesses for many vehicles, I bought one for the first try, did not for the 2nd, after I saw how easy it was to make the splices by their directions. Good luck.
