Help with ProStart car starter installation

Post by sdavis »

Has anyone else installed a ProStart car starter to their Vibe? Any tips from those experienced with this?the installation instructions do not come with wiring diagrams and I am not very handy when it comes to electronics/electrical work. Even if someone had a link to a wiring diagram that would help me with the install that would be great!P.S. I have a 2003 manual transmission.

I had one on my '04 Vibe auto. I had it installed for around $100.00 at Future Shop. Don't let them tell you there's a chip in the key because there isn't. Messing with ignition wiring and such is way too risky for me, I let an installer do it. Some Canadian Tire stores will install them or they have an installer who comes in once or twice a week.

Hey there, ex installed one in my car, I have a 2003 Manual Vibe and it only took a day to do it just a few incorrect wires on the diagrams but we figured it all out. Mine is the 2 way with alarm and remote start it all works dandy, only thing i might be changing is the antenna for the system mine came with the one without the LED in it and i find the reception not to be as good as my boys with the LED in the antenna they are in the same spots each car. So that's the only complaint I have with those starters is the antenna but should be easily fixed with a different one. If you need help just let me know he can help you out we have pics and everything

thanks for the help guys!SmAshley - do you know what type of clutch depression switch/mechanism the vibe has? I have gotten as far as reading the manual on this project so far, but have not found time for the rest yet.Any pics you may want to share would be great!
