Does this 12volt kit require a key in the car? Or does it have the ability to copy your key codes? I am not familiar with this kit and their website does not seem to offer any help until after you buy the thing. For $350 there are far better and less expensive options out there but that is a different topic.

If the engine is indeed turning over (starter engaging) but does not start (engine running) then there is either a installation issue or a configuration mixup.

Well the ones I looked at you have to tap into wires and the only kit I found that was actually plug and play with good reviews is that kit so I got that one . I still have time to return 😂😂. But yeah one step is to press the unlock button and the last step is to put the key fob into the key fob holder so I think that programs the key fob

That is the culprit. Avital is another aftermarket kit. You have two entirely different kits trying to start the car.

I found this link that has support documentation for Avital/ Avistart. You might be able to track down the installation guide for the model installed in your car and, using that, remove it from the car. Then, install your 12volt kit and see what happens.

1. Whats kits?? This would be helpful.

I installed the 12 volt one 3 times and it still messes up. Im probably going to return and get one that actually works as for almost 400 dollars what a piece of crap.

Any ideas on a good one that once you setup just works?

Ogg I see 12volt. That kit wokrs for maybe 2 days then will need to be reset. Then if you diconnect battery anytime also reset., basically yuk. GOOD LUCK!

The Fortin EVO-ALL seems to be the most popular and reliable. I do not use remote starters so I can not vouch from personal experience. But, this model seems popular on here on the forum.
