The remote starter thread - your advice for people looking to buy and install a remote starter.
Remote car starter??
My family has multiple cars with remote start, and all remote start systems have been bought and installed through Best Buy. Normally cost between $200-$300 and installation has been included in that price as long as I remember.

It’s that time of year when we see more remote starter threads. Since it gets asked relatively frequently, people get response fatigue, so maybe it’s time to add some info to the community wiki as backup.

This is the most niche r/cars sticky I've ever seen. :P
Good idea, though.
Before you do it, check the laws in your city. In one of the suburbs near me, it's illegal to leave a vehicle running unattended for longer than 3 minutes. That includes in a private driveway. In the winter, the patrol the neighborhoods and will ticket and sometimes tow anything they find idling with nobody in the car.
