Default Is this a decent remotoe start system?

Well winter is on it's way and I am looking for a good remote start system that doesn't cost to much. I want it to have a pretty good range and tho have a 2 way LCD remote. I have been looking around today and came across this one http://www.slickcar.com/productdetai...ProductID=2197 Does that one seem ok? Also are these things very difficult to install or not to bad. Thanx for any input. Feel free to give me your recommendations for any remote start systems you have experience with.

ummm, I am pretty sure that it is recomended to warm your car up while moving and just keep it under 3K rpms, I have a couple friends who have rem. start (not on audis) and they will wake up start the car from inside their house and then they'll have breakfast or what not, and then walk out to their warm car...the idea sounds nice, but I have heard bad things about warming up our audis like that...

good luck!

If you disable the neutral saftey switch (or whatever its called?) but still, the imobilizer would be the major hurtle, I think.
