    Remote starter

    My EB(1999) has a yellow sticker on the air filter cover saying"this vehicle is equipped with remote controlled engine starter". Now when I bought it used the seller did not give me any indications or any remote starter. How can I find if it is equipped? And if so how can I get a remote?
