Remote Start
I'd like to install a remote start kit into my 01 Max. I don't know anything about these kits, but there's some really ($20) cheap kits on Ebay. I've got a few questions.
1) The only feature i'm looking for is to be able to hit a button and start my car from about 40 yards away, any suggestions for brand/model?
2) How complicated is this thing going to be to install?
3) Any con's of installing a remote start kit?

I can't testify as to the quality of remote starters. But The saying applies "You get what you pay for.." And one thing that varies more than anything would be range.. as i'm sure most companies sell a working product.
As far as installation goes, If ya don't know how to 'hot wire' a car with a 'micro-chip', and have never hard wired a head unit (soldered in the comfort of a drivers seat or worse) then this will be a great undertaking. It's not as simple as interrupting one wire and inserting the unit. It get's complicated.
To put it simply, "like if ya have to ask, uh huh huh huh, then you don't know"

I have a Hornet 554t remote start. The range is pretty damn good...I can start my car from my bed which is about 500 feet away through some walls and a bunch of dirt (live on a hill). But this remote start is about 3 years old...damn almost 4 now.
