Hi,

Jaycar used to sell a car alarm which was able to start the car. It cost $270 if i can remember off the top of my head... The alarm itself cost me like $300 to get wired, but bloody strathfield wouldn't do the remote start. My local auto electrician charged me $75 to just wire it up.

Nowadays, pager alarms that can start the car from a k away, and that come with a turbo timer cost $130 on ebay. Plus i'm getting the auto electrician to install it for $350 Smiley =

Off the top of my head, I'm pretty sure it is illegal to have a remote start, as is a turbo timer, in NSW anyway. It's even illegal to leave your car unlocked over here, running or not.

If its a manual, be VERY careful where you leave your gearshift. I've had the problem of the car jumping away from me a couple of times, and trust me its not pretty. Shocked
