With 12voltsho leaving the state and JDHEDMAN not doing remote starts anymore... Who is TCGs go to guy??? I have a few vehicles that could use the remote start this winter.

Please let me know if we find a GOOD installer.. One that doesn't just strip wire, twist it together, than black tape it... I am so fucking sickened how my systems were installed.
The guy I used does that. Did it on my last 5 cars. He says solder creates a hard spot and can crack. I laughed, but never had too many issues with his installs.
I hate when people use the virtual tach instead of wiring it up.

And that's exactly it. I'm to the point of just doing them myself. If you want it done right, I guess you gotta do it yourself.

I've never noticed anything being soldered. The way it should be done is with 3 in 1 crimps. Crimp, solder, and heatshrink all in one.
All I ever see done is twisted wires that are half ass black taped
Good luck finding someone that does 3 in 1. I have met thousands of installers from many company's and met most of the major vendors and never heard of anyone using a 3 in 1.
Most installers now days unfortunately do just strip, wrap and tape due to poor training or just being lazy. The proper way and now industry standard is to use a military splice with super plus 33 inside for any splices and solder and tape for any clean cuts or any connection outside of the car. With clean cuts in the shop most installers will heatshrink also.
As far as tach now days there are very few cars where you would actually "need" to run the tach with a quality remote start. Between cars that are remote start ready, anti-grind starters you don't even need virtual tach or voltage sensing. Now there are some cars that just flat out need a tach ran but most of the time the only reason I ever had to run tach was on cars that had poor maintenance and or mechanical issues. The new quality remote starts virtual tach work great when programed properly. But once again that rarely happens.
Now if you want it done a specific way. Ask your installer to do it that way. Most I know would have no issue doing so as long as your not asking them to do it in a way th st would not work well like spreading peanut butter on all wires before hand..or some strange shit somebody read on the Internet where all the experts live. That being said you may expect to pay I little more as it may take longer.
Unfortunately I do not have any good recommendations on installers for side jobs at the moment but I will keep my ears open.... and who know I may even come out of retirement
James I'm sure you are well aware of the 3 in one crimps I'm talking about?
They are the cats ass. They are about $1/ea for 14-16 gauge crimps.. But there is no second guessing the connection strength. If I ever get around to it on the dooty I want to redo all the hack work with these crimps.
I don't understand what's to fail. Are you guys using the correct crimping tool? There are crimps for bare and crimps for sheathed. Also the 3 in 1 has glue on the inside that melts out of the ends.

I used this type of connector on the cobra for my fuel system seems to be holding up well.
