Question Car starters

I'm looking at getting a car starter for and automatic 2005 honda civic. I have purchased a one way remote but am thinking about upgrading to a 2 way. Is it worth the extra couple hundred to upgrade or is the 1 way fine. I take the train so it would be nice to get have the car started before I get to it and will be parking outside my house as I will no longer have a garage in my new place. Im looking at no more then $500 installed. The one way was $319 and its being installed on saturday.

Thanks

I got a 2 way installed about two years ago. Definitely worth the upgrade. I never need to wonder if the car is locked or not, or if it's running. And $500 should easily cover the upgrade. Mine was somewhere around $450 installed.

2 way is definitely worth the upgrade.

2 way starter will let you know that the vehicle was started by sending a signal back to your key fob.

I have a 2 way starter on both my vehicle and my wife's car. Both have worked amazing with no problems. Each was about $500 or so including install. I went to ARA Auto just off Macleod and 40th? or so. Definitely worth checking out.
