    So I've had terrible luck with remote starters in my life...But, long story short I noticed that after a day or 2 of having my remote starter the only "AC" I get is when I put it on max cold...If I nudge the dial even a millimeter up it goes to max hot. I also randomly get the brake light on the dash to appear...it will stay on...and then shut off...

    Both of these issues magically appeared right after remote starter installation.

    Naturally, I believe it is a wiring issue related to improper remote starter installation.

    What do you guys think? Have you ever heard of this issue before? Because I called up the techs and they of course say, "That has nothing to do with the installation..That has something to do with your car" which kinda pissed me off.

    Nevermind, I thought I was in the gen 4 forum.

    They have left the cabin temp sensor disconnected.

    You think they left cabin temp sensor disconnected? Or is that on the gen 4?

    Yours should have one too.
    I had previously posted a comment that I removed, thus the note.

    Sorry for the confusion.
