Default remote start with or without security settings need your input

I got some great pricing on remote start packages with and without a security alarm.

I was wondering what everyone thoughts were on interest on these. I could run a group buy on these and if so what price range would you prefer

I have access PYTHON, PRESTIGE and UNGO

Remote start w/ security i can do anywhere form 200 to 450.00 for the best and newest one available

or without alarm
starting at 80.00 to 250.00


give me some input and I will put a group buy togther on what is called for.

Thanks and sorry for no model numbers yet, i want some input on what people would want for thier cars so i dont confuse everyone.

Thanks
Dennis

Actually, on the newer systems, they have made it mostly fool proof (I don't want to imply we are running out of fools on the planet)...

Anyway, in order to set the auto-start in the manual tranny car, you have to do a couple of things before you arm the system (i.e. press the clutch, put car in N, while holding down a control button, etc.) It's an attempt to make sure someone doesn't leave the car in gear.

That's a good idea if it's only to 'arm' the system to be used the next day. Do you have more info on this? Who sells it? How much?

alot of manufacturers offer it basically u get out of car with it running close door lock car and kill it from the remote...

most ppl i know rather take a regular remote start adapt it to a manual trans and run the risk of making sure its not in gear
