Added the prestigauto start about 6 years ago, got a miata and the trade off was relinquishing the truck to outside. I start it 5 minutes before I go out in the winter, seats are warm and heat is just starting....love it...yea gas milage is now pitiful but my butt is toasty.

You'd lose the ability to lock and unlock the car with the fob if the car was running, from what I was told. I was told by our remote start guy at work to have a Viper 4203 system installed. It's a small one button system and doesn't add a big bulky fob to your key ring.

It unlocks the drivers door with the first push of the button and starts it with tho second push. If I want both open before I start it I use the OEM and then the remote start Button. When you get in you turn ignition on, touch brake and pushe memory select button on door to put steering g wheel and seat to preset.
I will be installing a viper in the summer to prep for next winter...
i have RS on almost all my cars... its a pain to have to carry another remote on the key, but the range is so much better with aftermarket... i can start the car close to a mile away with open view to the car...
