Just make sure a reputable shop does the install. No stoch loks or t taps. I'd recommend DEI(viper, Clifford) or Flash Logic products. You get the best results in cold climates. No more scraping the windshield. But a cool car on a hot day is nice too. I wouldn't recommend one on a manual though. Answer from syntax_erorr on reddit.com

r/askcarguys on Reddit: After market remote start devices, cool idea or bad choice?
October 15, 2023 -

I’ve got a 2013 v6 mustang. Had it for a long time and it’s got a lot of sentimental value, so instead of dumping it for a v8, I’m looking into a few ways to modernize it more.

One thing I’m considering is a remote start device. I don’t really need it, I live in a warm climate. But it always seemed cool to me, starting it with a button and hearing the engine rev up.

It’s a higher mileage car, about 140k miles. I don’t want to impact it’s reliability or shave off any years of life. So my question is, a remote starter from a reputable mechanic: harmless fun or electrical nightmare?

Remote Start, Factory vs Aftermarket
Go with the factory remote start. If something does go wrong with the wiring, they can’t blame the Problem on an aftermarket system. More on reddit.com

This is the most niche r/cars sticky I've ever seen. :P

Good idea, though.

Best aftermarket remote start kit?
Personally, I love anything made by Compustart. There are other kits people use religiously for the Rav4 that's direct plug and play, but I've used Compustart for years and they're customer service and product reliability is insanely good. More on reddit.com

Aftermarket Effects
In order to properly integrate a remote starter in a vehicle with a transponder key, an extra part called a “bypass” is needed. This “bypass” fools the vehicle into believing that the key is present and the RF signal is correct. Most vehicles need some type of bypass.
