transponder bypassing methods

i am in the UK and there is a market for remote starting devices and I would like some input of what people recommend. Currently there is very little product available like this. It is illegal to have your engine running and your vehicle unattended on a public road. I think if you have your own driveway, then it would be ok.

Most people would prefer to have one handset for the alarm and not a second handset for a remote starter, so I would be looking for a product that will interface with an existing alarm system.?? Something that can be controlled by an auxillary channel on the handset would be OK.

With regard to bypassing transponder systems, we have very little experience of this. I know there are transponder bypass kits available. Some seem to be vehicle specific ( Pats and Passlock etc) and some are generic wherby you can adjust the device to match the particular resistance of the transponder chip ( is this correct??)

Also, I believe there are systems wherby you can have a duplicate key made and place this in a box, and when the remote start is activated, it looks for this key to bypass the original system. Do these systems operate all transponder systems???

So the bottom line...I'm looking for a product or family of products to bring into the Uk that willl enable me to offer these systems alongside my existing product range.

can anybody help me further

thanks in advance

Hey naughtydog,

Just to add to what mobiletoys2002 said, go to www.directed.com  for more info on starters and bypass modules.  Clifford is their sister company at http://www.clifford.co.uk/home.html in the UK.
