REMOTE START KIT

As an installer, I would NEVER recommend that you do this yourself. You are
looking at about a 3 hour job and they are not easy. You will have to cut
the starter wire for it to split the relay (as an example of part of the
installation)

The first thing I have to ask is what type of tranny do you have? In most
places there are legal aspects you MUST consider before you install a remote
start on a manual tranny. It is against the law in some states to do this.

As for brands, I would not recommend anything from DEI. We have used them
in the past and had less then a 50/50 satisfaction rate.

Doesn't DEI make most of them? I know Clifford, Viper, and a couple more
are made by DEI. Never really had much of a problem with any of the
three, except this one needed the "brains" replaced when the blower quit
when in remote start. Took a half hour and was free under warranty.

I have a Chapman on my truck. No problems thus far. Haven't any idea who
makes it though.

Yeah, DEI does make a lot of the alarm/remote start set ups out there. We
use TRC and Warlock. Both of there high end set ups include the basic
alarm, door lock, ignition kill and remote start, plus an FM based pager
with about a 1/2 mile range.

I think I heard of Warlock, not TDC. I'll have to keep it in mind for
the next vehicle. I have no idea who sells it around here. I'll have to
search for it..
