Re Joes remote start etc........I installed the "Auto Command" ( by Design Tech) module when I got the car 8 years ago. It does all the same things, such as remote start, lock/unlock doors,Full alarm system, Panic button, headlight control and many others. It is fool proof with about 17 connections for safety, made as I recall. Has provisions for garage door opener, power trunk, . Works on diesel vehicles and also gear shift vehicles (with an accessory kit). Selectable run time, selectable start "try" time. I have mine set for 2 second try. It will always start in that time, unless it is very cold and has not been run for a couple weeks......THEN it trys again (twice) in 20 seconds. It has never failed to start on the second try. I have the run time set for 10 minutes and a few times got into a conversation and forgot I had started the car and it had shut down by the time I got out to it. Right now it is down to freezing most mornings and up to maybe 40 days and it is SO nice to come from a restaurant or super market to a nice warm car.....ditto in the summer with the air conditioning running, to a cool car. I have other brand names in two other cars which I did NOT personally install. It has full diagnostic features. I also installed a module called "Lights on", which automatically senses when it is time to turn the lights on or off...like in some of the newer cars. Just thought I would mention what is available. It was quite a chore to install, but I got a giant wiring diagram and put it on the garage wall and took one thing at a time.
