For those of you that are considering an auto start remember, you get what you pay for.
The "Ready Start" I got at Sam's was cheap. It came with cheap remotes and wasn't the easiest thing to program but with a little time and patience it works...
If I had the $$$ I would go get a proffessionally installed one from a reputible car stereo shop. They work a lot better and more reliably but they start at around $400 and go up from there.

I would hesitate using anything that started an engine with no one there to watch the oil-pressure climb up.
TWICE in my driving life, I have had oil-pumps snap their shafts on COLD starts.
Both times, I was watching for the pressure to build and the needle just layed on zero.
Had I remote-started and not checked on things real soon, it would have cost an engine.
