    Default Remote Starter draining my battery?!?!

    SO here's the scoop: I recently got a nustart starter installed at Best Buy Oct.6. (They fucked everything up, it drained my battery, and they fucked up numerous of my friend's cars too - simply don't go there). When I stopped using the starter completely, my car was fine. Got that junk it removed Nov27 FINALLY. Got new one installed at Visions a few days ago. Now, the same problem is happening:

    go to start car with remote - no luck.
    go to car to start it with key - no luck, hear a clicking sound. my lights, music, and heat turns on, yet my car won't start.
    have to boost car to get it to start.
    I drive a 2006 Civic, thinking that with a newer car these problems shouldn't happen.

    CAN ANYBODY HELP?!?!

    Nine times out of ten.
    The starter itself does not kill the battery.
    Example, we just yanked a starter alarm that someone got installed
    in Edmonton, they swore it was the starter alarm that was draining the battery, so we removed everything.
    Truck fired up fine, it left the install bay.
    Hour later.
    Dead. Nothing at all.

    Starters themselves have next to no current draw at all.
    Get your battery checked if you haven`t already.
    If you`re still running the OEM battery, those things dont last much
    longer than two years.
