Hi all,
I am a newbie at this, can anyone tell me what kind of remote starter I should buy. And where can I find people to install it?
Thanks

thats not any easy question, depends on your application and or vehicle. i would suggest above all stay away from the fly by night brands. and as for an installer find somebody who didnt just pop up over night or does work under the shade tree

As already stated this is not a simple answer. What features do you want? What kind of operating range do you expect? If you want a standard system you will get decent range but now they offer systems that work up to a mile away, and Audiovox offers a piece that will allow you to control your system functions using a telephone (it works like a beeper). Typically a shop that sells one particular brand uses that brand because that shop has had good success with it. My personal big three would be DEI (Viper, Python, Sidewinder, Avital, etc.), Compustar, and Audiovox/Code Alarm. I have installed each of these brands and the quality of the units, features offered, programming options and warranty of the units are my determining factors. If you are looking to have a system installed why not hit the find installers link at the top of the page and go with what that particular installer recommends and can warranty.
Installer, IT support, and FFL. I need less hobbies.

I use DEI's UNGO brand which is the same as the Viper and Sidewinder. I also use the Code Alarm CA-520 and CA-410. Lifetime warranty on these brands and I never had a problem with any of them with well over1,000 installed. Stay away from the bubble-wrapped brands that you would see in a Wal-mart or Target etc and anyone that emphasizes DIY on the box.

I use the Ultrastart 1270TL as a bullet-proof entry-level r/s unit -- easy install, quick programming, reliable if using tach sensing, and pretty decent range.

I use the Compustar 2wss as the high-end unit for it's spread spectrum technology, 2-way paging capability, and track record.
