Best purchase ever

Cool device. However; in their promo video, the girl tracked the dude's car. Do I really want that...

That's one of the many things it can do. I use it primarily as a replacement for my keyfob. I like arming and disarming my car via smartphone.

Interesting! Is this the best of the breed? Did you consider other ones?

So like, lose your phone, get your car stolen too?

Hope its an iphone with touchid or really any kind of passcode? even if its stolen aint much the thief can do. Now i would be more skeptical if this product is use with an android phone.

I believe viper also has one, from my research this model is better for my Compustar system

Hopefully you would have a lock code/ pattern on your phone.

Using it now on my Android. Download the app from Google Play and you are good to go.

You misunderstood me. I'm sure it works fine on android. Just that fact that android isn't that secure one would be worry that the thief could get to your car if your phone was lost.

More likely lose/break your phone, locked out of car.

Unfortunately you have to pay a monthly fee to use the service, not worth it in my opinion. Even if you are using it to lock/unlock your door, at close range there is still a lag.

For the most part reliability. Well, it was either paint or swap and I thought long term this would be the better choice. It well be kept stock for the most part. I am going to keep my fmic for my new engine. Might try and find a downpipe for it and I think I'll look for a stronger clutch. I do have a stage 1 exedy but not sure if it's good enough or not. Also looking at getting a light weight flywheel

Even just an intake, downpipe/exhaust and a boost controller and you will be spinning tires all day long.

Quite jealous, how much did the Gen 4 run?

Has anyone else done the swap locally yet?

It was listed for 1350 but with No ecu. Plus taxes on top. Got it down to 1250 all taxes and shipping in. If I picked it up it would have been 1050 but that would mean a trip to Calgary and back.

Found the ecu else where for 215usd shipped
