I really would like to have one but I really hate the idea of hacking into the wiring even if a "pro" does it.

Small price to pay to have this luxury. I love mine for the sole reason of being able to have the heat on 4 minutes before getting in during the winterI really would like to have one but I really hate the idea of hacking into the wiring even if a "pro" does it.

Did they have to cut a lot of wires? I guess it would be a nightmare if they let a trainee work on it.I had Best Buy install one on my 2007 a few months ago. I’m liking it and glad I did it.

That's what I am afraid of.I installed the factory Ford (made by CodeAlarm). Spliced a couple of wires, the rest plug in. I do the job right - soldering splices and using heat-shrink tubing. Most installers are minimum-wage hacks.
The OEM version requires an additional part, the anti-theft module and the instructions that don't come with it.
Lol, ya I guess now I just have to figure if I want to spend that much. I imagine it could really be a nightmare if you try to cut corners on it.Another problem is that many of the aftermarket remote start systems are $29 Chinese garbage. The installers that do the job for $129 are using these. Most disable the anyi-theft PATS key system.
If you want good stuff, go to a Ford dealer and have him install the Ford system. They'll probably charge about $350 but they'll guarantee the work and you'll get a well designed and made system.
Best Buy and Pep Boys will just have some crackhead monkey-hammer your stuff.
