How is your remote start working ? I want to install one my self but i have heard allot of good & bad about them whats your feelings on the one you have and how difficult was it to install?? What model did you get  

Glad you asked.  Install was not bad.  I used this thread which helped greatly.  And also researched and asked questions on 12vforum.

My install was slightly different because I already installed an Avital 2101 keyless entry so I bought the avital stand alone remote start which I tied into my keyless entry system.  Install wasn't hard.  Don't let the below pictures turn you away.  I figured while I was there take everything apart and clean up all my wiring which I had from previous stuff.  So it looks WAY worse than it is.  It's rather straight forward and wasn't too bad to do.  I have no negative of the system at all.  

I got the Avital 40003L:

If you have ever done a radio install you can install a remote start. At $50 this was a no brainer to me.  If I was smart I would have done this while I installed my keyless entry but at the time I only had one functional/programmed key, it wasn't until I used FORScan to program new keys that I figured why not add a remote starter.  If I would have found out about FORScan sooner and had the reader/programmer I would have done this mod years ago.

Hope that helps!
