FWIW, I have several friends in the alarm/autostart installation biz, and since DEI went to China for manufacturing they are having all kinds of problems.
And LOL at Mike....
I just broke down and got an iphone, and gotta say I'm liking it so far. Except for f'ing iTunes...what a PITA that is compared to just drag and dropping music onto my old phone. Not to mention I have to make sure the computer I hook it up to is connected to the right iTunes account or it completely messes my entire phone up....
I like the idea of using the phone to start to the car, though. No worries about distances or interference or whatever.
