AutoPage & Turbo Timer

Hello,

I bought my 03 Evo and the previous owner has a Autopage system installed, everything but the Car Starter and Turbo Timer work. Anyone have an idea of how much it would be to have this installed/programmed in? More importantly who would I go to, to ask?

Sorry I couldn't find any autopage threads witht his situation.

Remote starts case tons of problems. No start, electrical shorts, dead battery from it drawing, starting on it's own, etc. I removed them at my shop frequently. If you are in love with it then find a shop that installs them and they may have a schematic for your system and be able to fix it. Shops that install audio systems typically do remote starts too. If you can live without it then I highly recommend you remove it.

Well I don't care much about the remote start I really want the turbo timer. But I think you have to have the remote start for the turbo timer with Auto Page or am I wrong?

turbo timers are unnecessary. David Buschur did a write-up on here about them which pretty much showed they are useless.

Just saying.
