I have a 2-way python system (on my jeep, your not a smart person to put a remote start on a manual, plus, it's illegal). It has a kill switch (make sure you get one of those) and a display on the remote of the car so you know if the alarm is going off or if it actually started. Expensive, but you get what you pay for in car alarms.

I had mine professionally installed at a my local stereo shop that I trust. I have the 1 way Viper 5601 remote start, keyless entry, alarm installed with iPhone option. I got it all installed for $745. The iPhone part alone I know is $299 and you get your first year for free, after that it is $30 bucks a year I believe. It doesn't run off satellite, it works on the 3G network. The actual Smartstart module is a GSM module that attaches to the alarm system. I just went to the bar last night, and I didnt have to bring my keys in with me, I just threw them in the center console, got out and armed my system with my phone. Then when I was ready to leave, I started it from my phone and unlocked it as I was walking to it. Will always get used by me. haha
