RE: Remote Start!
I am looking to get one installed as well. I talked to my buddy who works at Circuit City and he said its a PITA but they do them all the time. It doesn't matter if it is manual or auto.
**EDIT: It's about 60-80 for a remote start install.**

RE: Remote Start!
I had 1 installed last summer and it ran me $450 (including instlation).
If I had bought it from Best Buys with all the options the unit it self would've cost $450 not including instlation[&:].

RE: Remote Start!
Like I said, pay someone else to install it and let them fight with the thing. My dad and I put the one in my truck, and DEI seems to make it near impossible to install it without being a dealer and having all their goodie information. So as time went on, it went from a nice alarm with remote start and locks to just a remote locker now. Damn alarms get to be a PITA themselves over time.

RE: Remote Start!
just make sure you hook it up to your parking brake in case you forget to put your car in neutral! otherwise should be easy enough to diy. get an informed enough friend to help though. i used my dad

That is precisely the quote I got from the dealer shop today, here at Pittsburgh. Btw, from how far does this thing work? Does it need a line of sight? Can I turn it on from inside my room? (stupid question?).
Thanks.

You can start it from inside your house, just go to the nearest window.[sm=massbounce.gif]
Before got it I was under the impression that the range was for a block but in reality it started from about 25 feet (Autopage XT-72) Also the model I had was very sensetive ( a good thing I guess).
