Remote Starter recommendation

Can anyone recommend a good aftermarket remote starter for a 2005 f150?

Code Alarm SRT-9000 all the way.

Buy it from KC AutoSound and he will prewire it for the truck and send you detailed and colored instructions on exactly how to wire it. I was able to do it in just a few hours on an afternoon and it works great.

Full color OLED display, can open the garage door as well with an alternate button, and recharges via a USB style cable w/ no batteries to replace.

One of the best investments I made on the truck for sure.

I've got the Viper 5901, and its a great system...good range, nice extra features, and sleek two-way remote.

I have the Code Alarm CA-670, the new model is the CA-671. If you get it from KC Autosounds and have them prewire it (which is free for the rest of June) it makes the install soooooo easy. He provides great instructions with what wires you need to tap and everything. Highly recommend it.

Buckster,
I've had the Viper for 3 years. I purchased the extended-range one
(1000+ feet).
I work on the 14th floor of a building and there's no windows. I park 500ft from the building. It's awesome that the Viper has two-way communication, in that an icon shows on the remote telling you the truck has started.
On freezing, snowy days I can pre-defrost, and then jump in and go, not wasting any time.
The Viper has had no problems whatsoever. The installer also mentioned that with an additional relay, he can make the windows work from the remote too.
