i worked at circuit city for over four years back in car audio sales and did install there for about a year and a half of that and have never seen a remote start mess up a car computer or anything for that matter. just don’t buy shitty and shitty things wont happen…stick with any DEI product. also let someone who knows what they are doing install it. ---

I installed the cheapest one I could find ($50 at Snyder tire) in my Blazer back in the day. I used that son of a bitch every day for 2 years and never had any problems related to starting it. I have never heard of any bad things happening to a (automatic) car related to remote starters. My mom and dad have the same shitty $50 bulldog starters on their trucks and works like a charm. Even the door locks work fine in my dad’s. (no power locks in moms) ---

things to think about - if you got a chysler with a grey key! you need 3 keys’ iff you have a newer ford with the bulky key! you will need 3 keey’s if you have a gm… like cobalt/some colorado’s etc etc… with a plus sign on it… you will need 3 keys’ before install… some misc foriegn cars… ---
