Every truck I buy I put remote start in, it is absolutely essential. We get a lot of snow, and I park my truck outside (toys in the garages). I just hit the remote 10 minutes before I am going to leave, and it melts off the ice and warms the cab. Planning becomes important:
- Remember to start it 10 minutes before you want to go.
- Remember to crank the heat and the fan, and put it on at least half defrost.

I do not have two-way, that would be nice. I had a remote internet camera put in at the office so that I can watch it on camera and make sure that it has started.

They are great as said before. Nothing like getting in a warm car on a freezing day. I will never go with out again.

I have put in over 10 of them in family and friends vehicles. Everybody loves them. Its funny seeing peoples faces as they walk by and you start it up with no one inside.
Im actually looking at one that has to go in here shortly. The last couple I did were factory OEM ford ones which are nice and supposed to be reliable. There is a guy on Ebay selling those for a good price if anybody is looking. I think he has others to.
Some of the newer vehicles are easier, They have a quick plug harnesses for the majority of the wires.

Best money I have ever spent, will never own a car without it again. I have a Viper system and have had it for 8 years. I use the 2 thin battery trick instead of 1 thick and get twice the range.

'splain please...

Just keep in mind that some newer vehicles have an RF ID chip in the key, which needs to be close to the vehicle in order to start it. My friend's Mustang is like that. He had to buy a spare key (got it uncut, so it couldn't actually start the car), and put it inside the dash so the system would work. The $150 for the key was more than the remote start system.

They have a bypass kit with a ring that sticks to where the key goes in, it by passes needing a extra key.

On diesel trucks, how does the remote start know when the glow plugs have had enough time to heat up ?

On a new Mercedes Benze they calim you can not install remote start?:mad:

I have the Python it's the security and remote start system works great.

Or you can use the bypass modules that don't require the use of an extra key. Either way works, but the module is much cheaper than a new key.
