^^^^ :? You need to be a bit more clear about what you are wanting, mate.
Do you want to start you car and have the air con cool it down while you get ready to go out? :rasta:

When these arrived in Canada it was a life-saver. Its -20C out there, real brass monkey weather, you could go to the window, point the remote at the car and let the engine and heater run for several minutes before you made your Captain Scott journey to the car. Don't get much of that in HH.

In that case I would say definitely bring one with you. Make sure it includes a circuit diagram, and I am sure that you will find somebody in Hua Hin that can install it for you. :cheers:

Out of curiosity, why would you want one in Thailand?
It does not matter where you come from, it's where you are going that matters.

I had one fitted in my vehicle in Khon Kaen, and to satisfy your curiosity it was a real bonus to remotely start the engine with the air con on in the blazing summer heat and get into a nicely chilled car especially after a hard day's teaching. I could start the car from the office and freak out the kids stood around my car...

Can't remember off the top of my head...It was over 10 years ago......12,000 baht rings a bell.

I'm waiting for a remote that will get my car to come and pick me up when it's parked 500 metres away...
This is the way

Thanks to all of you,I'll bring my own and the diagram when I return in marts,and will find some one to install it.
I wan't it for the reason Sateeb descripe,and looking forward to a not so warm car.
Have seen them on the net from 40 usd. and up.
You can get them with alarm,trunk opener and other fancy stuff.but I will go for the remote starter only.
