2.0 out of 5 stars Poor Bulldog Technical Service, June 27, 2009

Extremely poor technical support. I have contacted bulldog several times via phone and left messages. If you call the wait time is extremely long and you can leave a voice message with your phone number and they will call you back, right??? I have sent multiple e-mails, received back nothing. If you expect support troubleshooting any issues this is not the product to buy. Packaging was very damaged as well.

1.0 out of 5 stars you may never get this to work with your car, April 22, 2010

This review is from: Bulldog Remote Starter w/Keyless Entry and 2 remotes (Misc.)

Let me start off by saying that I was a mechanic for a few years and now have an electrical engineering degree so installing this should not have been a problem. I also have the shop manual for my car which gives me info on were all the wire are. They also do not sell a T-harness for my car (97 Lexus ES 300) so I had to splice in all the wires myself.

Install took about 2 hours. When the unit after install the car started ran for 5 seconds then shut off. It did that again then the alarm went off. I call tech support and they tell me the only way to operate this unit with my car is to use the factory transponder to unlock the car first. Well that sucks who wants to do that, + you have to have two key fobs with you,+ if you forget to unlock first the alarm will go off.
So I figure out a way around that by taking the FASD wire and connected it to my unlock wire in the door. This way before it remote starts the car it will unlock the door like you put the key in the door and unlocked it. The tech support said there was no way to do this

Now it should work it starts and runs for a few seconds then turns off and keeps repeating. I connect the TACH wire from the remote start to the tachometer feed in the car. Program the unit for TACH operation. Then teach it to learn the TACH. Same dam problem.

Call tech support and ask him about the problem. He says the unit is not seeing noise after the car starts. I tell him that's why I connected the TACH I also know the unit learned the TACH because it confirmed it did when I was programming it. His advice is to remove the TACH wire and connect to an ignition wire. To me this is crap half ass solution. Asked what signal the remote start is looking for so I could go out with an oscilloscope and check the TACH output or make it look like the unit wants and he could not tell me.
I cannot trust this unit without the TACH connected. Last thing I want is to be replacing the battery or the started because this unit kept trying to start the car over and over again when i am inside waiting for the car to warm up.

You get what you pay for (the RS1100 and RS1200 are the same thing I asked tech support)

1.0 out of 5 stars This should be called the 1200n, September 8, 2010

The reason this should be called the 1200n is because the "e" in 1200e stands for "extended range". I say 1200n for "no range". I've seen more range on a 400 lb linemen! When you're standing right next to the vehicle it works fine but thats not the idea now is it? The installation was very easy. I have been certified as an MECP so putting it in was no problem. Making it work is another thing. I've tried everything under the sun to make this unit work. I've tried several antenna solutions and nothing works well. So, when it says extended range don't you believe it!
