The reg. key fobs are like 200.00 each. If this comes with 2 of the nicer (and more expensive) key fobs that means 850.00 really isnt that much money for what it comes with. Hmmm.....

the biggest benefit i think is that if you live in a cold area during the winter, like i do, it heats the interior of ur car, so you do not freeze when u sit down

and i can not really think of any disadvantages, nothing at all
and in the summer you dont feel like your in an oven

I think those racing seats are actually baby seats.

Well, it only takes a few moments to cool your car down in the summer, doesn't it? especially with tints that is.

At $850, I'd only be interested if it comes w/ two remotes, unless you can not only remote start, but remote drive backwards using the reverse cam (similar to Tomorrow Never Dies).

[edit] Actually, I wonder if that auto-unlocks your doors? Or does it keep your doors locked, but just starts your car? If it auto-unlocks your car, that could be bad (someone could capture the transmission and replay it at a later time).

actually the safety issues are pretty good... When you turn on the car with remote start the doors do Lock automatically, and if lets say somehow someone gets in ur car, as soon as they hit the break without a key in the car, the car will shut off
