Just a suggestion. PLEASE BE CAREFULL!!! Make darn sure you know exactly what you're doing electrically when you go to hook up and use this remote starter. And follow all the suggested warnings regarding things hanging down e.g. hair, neck chains, bandanas transmission in neutral or park, brake on etc. Because once the motor starts turning on it's own, you're a long ways away from turning it off again with close to 2,000 lbs. of metal just aching to run your ass over or a belt wanted to tug you in for an extra close shave....
