I have installed quite a few but the work to install is not on my fun to do list.

That is why I would rather tell someone how to do it than keep it secret so I could do it.

I have this really sweet set up that does keyless entry, pops the trunk, and does the alarm. It's in this cool switchblade design too, they even manage to get a mazda logo on it. I don't know how much it was since it came with the car, but I recommend it!

BTW, the best way to warm up your car is under load, not letting it sit. Just drive it slowly until you're up to temp. It warms up faster which is what you want.

Bet you it can not do what mine does...

Two way remote which tells me the status of the alarm as long as I am within a mile of my car.

Able to lock it as long as I am within a mile and it lets me know that it did lock without the car being seen.

Turbo timer.

It is good that we have new smart comments because otherwise we might run out of them on a forum like this...

Unless I can program the remote start into my existing stock keyfob, I'm not doing it. I refuse to carry around two huge *** remotes.

I've got the Compustar Pro, amazing with the starter. I also put in the proximity sensor, but that was my personal perference.

As cool as it sounds to use the stock remote, I went with the compustar 2 way system. It has safety features to support manual transmissions, and it also lets you use it with the newer advanced keyless start system.

Letting the car warm up while you drive may work quicker, but when you live in Chicago, it's better to let it warm up when you are not in the car. Also, with this system I can set a time on the remote, and the the car will start at that time. So if I know I have to leave for work at 7:30, I can set my remote to start the car at 7:20 the night before and not even have to worry about it.
