Remote Starter

I have a Crimestopper remote start/alarm in my 98 Sport. Do youself a favor and check out the remote before you buy. The buttons on mine are easy to accidentally press when putting the remote in my pocket, starting the truck or locking/unlocking the doors are real inconvenient times.

Also, if you're not 100% sure of what you're doing, I'd recommend having it professionally installed.

Thanks Dave, that's a good point that wouldn't have occurred to me until it caused a problem!

I had a viper combo alarm/remote starter put in my 2003 XLT. I love it! I can start the car from 1000 ft away. If you set the AC or defrost full on before you leave you have a good head start to a comfortable interior. When I park at the railroad station, I hit the start button ( you have to press it twice ) just as the train is coming into the station, and everything is up and running when I get to the car. The car stays locked when it starts, so nobody can get in. Even if it's unlocked, just touching the brake will shut the engine off. It also has a feature that allows you to leave the car running and remove the keys to run into a store for a couple of seconds. If you have an XLT or higher level, make sure you get an expert installation house. Getting around the Ford remote features and computer controls is a little tricky.
