FALSE
It is a common misconception that this eliminates the security feature. It does not! It only allows a TEMPORARY bypass under controlled circumstances. It must see a set sequence and timing of inputs to work and even then will shutoff as soon as the brake is depressed.
A PROPERLY installed remote start system is no more likely to be stolen than one without. In fact I would believe it would be less likely. The reason I would say this is that the added wiring would add confusion/time to the thief.
Think of it this way. A PROFESSIONAL thief needs to be FAST. He does not have time to decipher additional wiring. Not to mention that EVERY shop installs their systems differently.
Finding a reputable shop that installs systems in a professional manner is tough. I will give you a hint tho.... stay away from chain stores. A GOOD install takes an experienced installer anywhere from 2-5hrs depending on the car. Anyone that tells you they can install in 30 minutes is most likely a hack.
When you check out the installer ask them how long the install takes and wait for their answer.
I highly recommend a Viper/Clifford dealer (both are Directed Electronics) and have lifetime warranty on the system (one year on remotes).
If anyone needs help finding someone in their area, PM me and I will hep you locate one.
