remote start??

Since winter is heading this way I figure that it is time to get a remote start for my cold blooded truck. Any one have a idea of which is better and easier to install myself or should I just head out to the the local electronic truck store and have them install.

I've had the Avital brand on four vehicles. I just have a local installer/dealer put them in. This the first diesel on which I've had one; I like the turbo cool-down feature. Not having had any other brands, I can't offer a comparison, just that my experience with the Avital's has been good.

I installed a code alarm in my last truck, great system. I read even better things about Compustar (my next) and Astrostart. Putting a RS in these trucks is NOT for the faint of heart, if you dont understand wiring and your trucks electrical system dont mess with it.
