Questions about Remote (Auto) Starter

Hi,

I own a 2001 2.5 RS Automatic.. (Yes, I know you guys hate me; but I didn't have a choice at that time.) Anyhow...

I want to install an Remote Starter on my car so I don't have to run down and put the key in during Winter times.

Since I have the factory installed security system (Alarm and Keyless entry), I know it's tough to put in the Remote Starter without interfering it.

So, if anyone of you know anything about this nasty little business? Please give me a hand ! Thanks guys.

i would like to follow up on this question. How can you put in a remote starter in a manual transmission car? I also want one of those for my 2000 RS.

In order for the remote start to work with a manual tranny it has to left in neutral. Most companies that install remote starters don't install them on manuals because to many people leave them in gear and start it up. Then the car hits something, then the owner trys to sue the companie that installed there remote starter. But you can do it yourself, Im just not educated enough to teach someone how to do it.
