DO NOT PUT THESE IN YOUR CARS.
Back when I did them, I would always use this analogy. It is like using a road flare, to ignite the engines on the Space shuttle.
Electronics in cars are highly sophisticated, top quality, and usually German engineered.

German electronics are some of the worst ever made, hands down.
BTW, almost ALL electronic components are made in Taiwan, along with a myriad of electronics. As with any industry, there are good suppliers and bad, but it is ridiculous and flat out wrong to point at Taiwanese made and make sweeping statements that anything made there is no good. In fact you have made in Taiwan electronics in every corner of your house, your pocket, and your car (make does not matter), working reliably.
I personally don't like remote starters I think they are dumb, but if installed properly (no crimp connectors and other dubious integration methods) they work reliably. 99% of the problems people have with aftermarket installs are because of the installer not the units themselves.
