5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent remote start/security system
Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2015
Excellent remote start/security system! This is the third python rs/a system I've installed and I've become a big fan of the DEI systems. I've installed one in a 2008 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited, a 2012 Toyota Tundra, and this one in a 2005 Ford Excursion - 6.0 Powerstroke Diesel. The easiest, by far, was the Jeep b/c it was the only one with a T-harness available which takes the place of almost all of the wired connections. If you are a DIY'er with some experience with vehicle wiring, then this can definitely be installed at home. Remote start and alarm companies try really hard to make it seem like no one can install one of these systems except a "trained professional". If you're like me, then you know that this phrase leaves much to be desired and you're probably better off knowing how it went in and how to repair it. All you need to do is look up the wiring schematic for the vehicle you're working on - I use 12volt.com or bulldogsecurity.com . Some vehicles will require a bypass module to over-ride the vehicle's built in security system (or computer chipped key). I've had good luck with the xpresskit dball modules, which you can buy on ebay and have them programmed by the seller for the vehicle you're installing it in - just look in the product description for a seller that can do this.
All in all, the Python 5706 is a great unit. It remote starts from a long way off, gives you the temp in the vehicle, and can be used with many other functions. The user interface is easy to use and you can program the system from the remote to tailor it to your needs. I live in Upstate New York and during the cold winters, I set the unit to run for 45 minutes with a 30 second delay for my glow plugs to warm up. It was simple to set and can easily be adjusted for summer weather.
Overall, I'd recommend this unit to anyone. This is my third one and the first one is 5 years old and still works great!!!
