Good luck. This has been a pain to find since '06 for my 2007. The problem is the push button start. Ford cannot install their OEM version on their 2010 cars with push button start - you must have the regular key start.

I wanted remote start on my '10 but the $1125 cost from my dealer was crazy.
Also Toyota has a silly safety policy that when you start the car using the remote,it will shut down when you unlock the door,only to have to start it again.

$1,125 extra but it came standard on my '07 Impala SS / '07 Grand Cherokee (along with satellite radio but don't get me started about Lexus technology). Nothing gets me talking to myself more then going out in the winter snow and having to start the most expensive car in person versus pressing the remote start button on my lesser cars from the comfort of our townhouse living room window (no garage - just deeded parking spots).

Remote start is nice to have in cold climates.$1125+tax is too much,though.
The new ES 350 does have satellite radio free for 3 months.I will subscribe to the $9.99 a month music only package from Sirius.

They finally made it standard in the 2010 models. About time!

Check out this post. I had it done to my 2007 a couple years ago. It cost me $550 then because I was the first and they had to figure out the wiring schematic from scratch since it had never been done on the ES at the time. See post 46 and all posts though page 6 to see how it is done. Tweeter's nationwide should still have the schematics.

It is a $375 option on the RX350, n/a for the ES350.
