Wow I would think he was joking, did you take any pics? I wouldn't be able to have a remote start then since it has to be in neutral with the e-brake because my e-brake is worthless therefor I leave my car in gear everywhere.

I'm just amazed that OP can't seem to take responsibility for his own stupidity. Neither Ford nor the dealership are at fault, as neither one installed the remote starter! Even the attendant is innocent. Like some of the others said you are lucky to even get one penny from your insurance company. Stop your Biatching and whining and move on.

Just an update. To this day Brandon Ford Dealer in FL is still denying any fault in totaling my car. My insurance subjugated a check to me for the cars value minus all my aftermarket mods. Which was a large amount of money out of my pocket.
It has been like 6 months and my insurance company is still trying to get them to pay them back with no luck. I probably won't sue because I'm to nice and to lazy to deal with the hassle of it all. I just wish they would have been nicer and offered me another used 07 mustang gt with similar mods to what I had. I mean they did total my car and ruin my entire month.
Because of this I know drive a pathetic pos 4 cylinder car that is slow as *****. But after Ford screwed me I still won't ever own one again unless this dealership steps up and takes responsibility for its mistake.

Ford was NOT the cause of your problem, the dealer was NOT the cause of your problem.
YOU WERE THE CAUSE OF YOUR PROBLEM! You screwed up and by passed safety processes and now want to hold everyone but yourself responsible. You haven't hired an attorney because you are "to (sic) nice" is not the reason. No attorney will take a case like this because it is a loser and then you probably wouldn't pay the legal fees.

Luckydawg, your car is from Brandon Ford? Mine is too I found out a few weeks ago on the maintenance guide it has a sticker for Brandon Ford but my car was originally purchased in Miami when I lived down there.

World Class IDIOT who cannot take responsibility for his own actions.
Be a man and suck it up. Between your behavior prior to the Remote Start install and the subsequent dunking, you have never gotten it have you?
You were warned multiple times that such a situation could occur. You ignored sage PROPHETIC advise.
You encouraged others to follow in your folly and 1/2-*** the install and deliberately defeat the neutral safety switch.
I hope you do "decide" to sue this dealership. Any drunken defense lawyer could hand you your behind in Court. You being a "nice guy" is bull****. You are just a little chicken who knows he hasn't a chance in Hell. But like the Ankle Biter you are, you can't quit yapping about it.
FMLIFE was a good title for this. You should be prevented from breeding. You will only dilute the Genetic Pool

F!cking moron. That's why our car insurance is higher than it should be, thanks to companies paying claims on morons like this.

I like the remote start from a technology stand point. It's cool. Integrated with the proper security features, it could provide remote kills if your car were ever stolen. That said, they do need to be installed properly, which this doesn't sound like it was.
People need to get off their high-horse about the lazyness topic. I'm sure 99% of them still take their car for trips they could have biked or walked to. I'm no different.
