Yeah I have a remote starter. He is 12. He works in hot weather or cold weather. I don't have to replace his battery and I don't have to carry him around on my key ring.
The down side. He has an attitude 12 going 25 if ya know what I mean.

I put one in my '05 E250 service van last year and wouldn't want to be without it. I convinced the company I needed an alarm system and they agreed to reimbursed me so I found one with all the bells and whistles.
I picked one up off ebay that is very similar to the one on my Busa. It's a paging alarm system that alerts the key fob up to a 1/2 mile away if someone sets it off, has remote power door lock features (also included the 4 motorized power actuaters) and has remote start.
The cost with shipping was something like $132.00. It took me a while to install it but it was worth every minute of cramped torture under the dash.
It has so many programmable features it's mind boggling. You can set it up for a diesel car, manual trans car ect. and if you have a turbo car, there's a turbo timer feature that will keep the car running for XX amount of minutes after you leave it for spin/cool down time.
Shock sensor works great with no false alarms. The van has one of those smart dome light systems on a timer and the alarm is even programmable to wait XX amount of seconds for them to turn off before arming.
Best part is it came with wiring instructions for my exact year van and the dude selling the system answers any tech questions you have within hours!
Here's his auctions:

I've had my Python (the better one HF, don't know the model) for about 5 years and have had it in my last 4 vehicles, it has a lifetime warranty if I have the dealer uninstall/reinstall it (much cheaper than buying a new one every time). I love the thing, preheated in the winter, cool in the summer, with the heat set on high it will unfreeze frozen doors. I leave the truck on while running in the store or for coffee, saves on the starter...
I'd be bummed without it.
Get it done by a real shop and skip the crap you buy at Wallys or Target... Should be $300 to $500 depending on vehicle and options, pass key, door locks, etc.
