njchen24 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Greetings: Does anyone buy a 08 / 09 Legacy GT with factory remote starter? If so, how far will you be able to start the engine? Does it have one key fob or two? For comparison my 05 Legacy has an after market Python 881XP and the range is about one to one and a half city block in NY. Thank you for your time.

rosscarlson Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I had that on my 08 2.5i and really miss it (upgraded to a 09 Spec.B). The only thing I didn't like is you get a second remote for the starter (and with the old "big" key remote on the 08 is was a lot in my pocket). Range for me was good, I could go to my sliding glass patio door and if I stuck my hand out the door I could start it in the parking deck roughly 50 feet away. Always worked. Never tested any further than that as I didn't need it... I think with clear line of sight you'd get 500 feet, not really sure beyond that. 1 1/2 city blocks seems like a stretch to me... -Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njchen24 Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 Thank you for your response. I will have to get an after market remote starter for my new Legacy then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
