Remote Car Starter

Hey i was starting to look into getting a remote starter for my 07 F150, i dont know anything about them..anyone tell me a good brand and how easy to install? I am not much of an electrician. a local store quoted me $350+ for one without an alarm and all the bells and whistles.

talk to travis (kcautosound) on here, send him a pm and he can direct you the right way.

I just picked up a full alarm, remote start with some nice options from him, and did the wiring myself, it was a snap.

i put one in my 08 back in may and it was actually pretty easy. i bought the ford remote start/vehicle secuirty kit and downloaded the instructions from fordaccessory.com, four hours later it was u and running. like fabian said, check kcautosound.com he has his kits pre wired and come with instructions.

I 2nd that. Travis is awesome. I have purchased nearly 20 systems and installed them for friends, neighbors and family. Made an installer out of me. He will sell you a complete system that he will pre-wire with step-by-step installation instructions to do it yourself. He backs it up with full tech support if you get in a jam however his instructions are very detailed and will get you through it quite easily.
