Remote start, wich one is best?

Ok guys, my old lady just got a new car, an 08 jetta, and she HATES cold wheather so I figure with winter and Christmas comin up I would get her a remote start so her car can be nice and toasty in the mornins when she leaves.

I know nothing about remote starters, brands or anything else so any info is apreciated.

I dont really want to break the bank but I want to get her a good one, so lets hear your recomendations.

TIA

More info here . http://www.automotiveforums.com/t152957.html . I agree with getting it installed where you buy it . (Circuity City installs them ) Improper installation will cause all kinds of problems .

Compustar Pro. Farthest range (up to 5k feet on non US models), real time 2-way remote, plenty of options.

Biggest downfall is the price and not many dealers. I imported mine from Canada and installed myself.

I got a "Readystart" from Sam's club for ~$50 and installed myself. Works fine.
