there's still one place I havent called yet. They gave me best price on decks when I was calling around about those awhile back.. Though their shop does look really grubby.

Yea, they make their living off of people who are either too lazy to do it themselves or just don't know how to research.

Get the compustar.

You can set it up to start and run the car every two or four hours and run it for 15 min then shut off...

Cold car no more!

Does mine come with a security system alrdy in place? Cuz when I asked the shops how much it'd cost they kept asking do u have power locks.. I'd say yes and then they'd say oh well we gotta disable the stock security features or something like that..

Just buy the satellite starter ones

I'm a fan of compustar alarms, but to answer you, AM is shorter range, and line-of-sight.
FM is longer range, and works better if you're obstructed from direct view of the vehicle, like inside the house, behind a hill, etc.

think of it like radio stations. AM craps out in tunnels. FM generally doesn't.

i dont have remote start, just remote entry, and i doubt if mine works at 100' let alone 1000
