Thinking about having remote start installed in my '95 Fleetwood for whatever next winter decides to bring to New England. Has anyone here ever done it? I know it can get pricey, due to the security chip/key system needing to be bypassed. From what I've heard, this isn't a bad idea since those chips have a habit of failing eventually anyway.
But I just want to know exactly how miserable I'm going to be after I've paid 500 dollars to have someone ruin my car. I mean, it seems straightforward, but I've heard horror stories. Alarms that start going off for no reason, features that never work, or work when you don't want them to, random stalling. I also fully expect that every tab on every panel they remove in my interior will be snapped clean off as standard operating procedure. With my luck, all of the above will happen to me. And then some.
So basically, someone who's done it; TALK ME OUT OF IT.
