Solid inexpensive Remote Start/Door Lock/Unlock

Nice compact factory FOB replacement that adds remote start. Can be adjusted to to 1x/2x/3x remote start safety start with 4 different programmable run times as well as single or dual stage door unlock. Better range than factory remote starts in two of my other vehicles.

Stupid easy install with iDatalink transponder bypass in 2-way data mode.

I DO NOT like the lock function on the main 2-way FOB though. You have to press both buttons together to lock which can be difficult and is definitely annoying. Add a third button for crying out loud.

Overall, I'd definitely recommend if you want a no-frills aftermarket remote start. I've put in several dozen starters and alarms, this is as straightforward as they come. So far, it has been reliable.

Solid unit easy install

I have used the Encore line of products for several years now and they are all very solid units. I like the affordability of the two way units. Everyone I know likes having the confirmation beeps without paying hundreds for it.

Decent

I recently purchased this unit and so far there's more good than bad. As others said small compact unit easy to locate a space under dash to hide, long range, and great price. I was a little misinformed or misled by it listing built in by pass as feature to find out that it still requires a separate unit it has built int support for a few by passes. Lastly is the lack of information for installer, I have been installing mobile electronics since I was 16 now 40. I installed it in a 97 right in the time I was really involved in the industry and cannot find or get the full installation manual for that model.
Overall I would suggest the E6 first but E5 is not a bad choice.

Great value for a 2way remote starter

I haven't installed yet but it looks promising. I was looking for a decent keyless entry system for an older car (1989 Nissan 240SX hatchback) but I'm always a sucker for having a remote start option. This kit fits the bill just right, ease of installation, quality, and affordability.
