remote start
Hey guys,
has anyone installed one of these themselves? Is it difficult? Is it just ignition wire tapping?
I want a remote start to warm up the car before I get in it.
Do they even sell *just* remote starts or do they all have alarms attached to them?
Thanks
EDIT: seems like this would do.. just don't install all the extra stuff. I ONLY want the functionality of remote start.

Most shops that carry DEI have an offering for less than $150 that is JUST remote start, and that's installed. You WILL need a module (about $40-60, depending on how much they are trying to make), and if you use a 55XU, they should be able to program it and not lose a key.
Just out of curiosity, why don't you want aftermarket security with it? I've had factory systems on pretty much every car, and the aftermarket setups have far, FAR exceeded any/all capabilities I had prior to putting in the new system.

I have a Viper 5101. It's just a remote starter only. I did install it myself, you just have to find and know which wires to connect. I did keep notes. 
For our cars, you will need a bypass either with a spare transponder or a module that can copy the code.
I did start out with the LMS starter suggested above. It worked well but the transmitter range was stock. For me, I wanted increased range and to control my accessories. Now I can get ~1700' of the advertised range of 2000' with line of sight. I picked up one of these off ebay for $80 and with the transponder box will be ~20, so in the ballpark of ~100.

It worked fine if you just want to start you car from nearby. You trigger it by pressing lock 3 times on the key fob. The range was what you got with your key transmitter. It didn't do anything else but you didn't have to carry an extra transmitter.
