Default Remote Starter

Hey there. I just bought an 08 GX. I have one key for it. It was suggested that instead of just getting a couple of key Fobs, that I get a remote starter that has Fobs that come with it. What is a good remote starter that will work well with my GX? Am I on the right track?
Thanks!

If you lose your 1 key, no amount of remote starter fobs will help you. Get the spare key IMO.

I've used compustar remote starters in a number of vehicles, I've been happy with them.

I'll second the Viper choice. I did the limited-range one, but it works like a charm. Going on three years with no issues. Though I'd still get an extra "key" made just in case

Do these remote starter systems disable the factory anti-theft security system?

viper does not interfere with factory system…2 pushes to start, one to unlock doors….you lock it with Lexus key/remote
