Yeah. But that's only the worst case. When I worked for the diesel shop, we'd get guys coming in all the time, fried ecms from them shorting out. Usually like you said , crap installs.

One guy, he deployed, lent his mom his truck, a 6 speed manual. One day she drove it to Lowes for a new washer, hit the remote start button, came out to find the lifted 3500 ram dually had driven over several cars before high centering on one after the thing started in gear

Heard of things like that. Improper use of product.
Guy wanted me to put an auto remote starter in a manual, i refused. Did it himself, ran it through the wall of the hardware store a few weeks later.

Yeah. Both of these stories were shop/dealer installed jobs. Niether were DIYs. I'm just leery of them. I love the one in my Durango, wish I had one in my Jeep. But the Durango one is Factory option. Only complaint is that if it has a check engine light for ANY reason including the oil change indicator, it won't work.

I have installed a few for that very reason.
Most oem remote starters dont run long enough.
I set one command start to run indefinetly.just to see if it would. Ran an hour.

My ignition switch in my intrepid crapped out,lost my heat in the dead of winter.used the remote starter to provide heat for the hour drive to work.

Also used it to charge battery when i was running an inverter during a power outage.

I'd like to land. You know, this does make me wonder. Let's say when Jim Lovell passes( I believe he's the oldest living astronaut, last of the Gemini pilots I know) and he wanted to be buried on the moon, if they could make that happen
 
Good evening all, just checking in and out at the end of my 4 day weekend. Tomorrow is going to suck (work). I need to stop doing that!
 
It can !! well then!! I would like to see it move to the hill with me for awhile
 
Trade yea, it has a new starter on it now :rofl:
