Default Remote Starters, install and recommendations

I want to put a remote starter into the new minivan, 2006 Mercury Monterey. Anyone have any suggestions to a good reliable one that's pretty straightforward to install?

Thanks!

Thumbs up

Check your factory dealership, they should have recommended installers.

My 05 Tahoe was installed by GM and works great and from a distance.

I can only imagine the cost from a stealership.

$240, or you can do it yourself.

I don't have the time, I just wanted it done and done right.

The one in my truck is a Prestige and works well. However, if your car requires a special key or FOB nearby to start you could be looking at a dealer install.
