Default Best remote car starter???

So with winter fast approaching, I'm looking into remote car starters. Anyone have any recommendations or stay clear away from ideas?

I bought this one. Range is as far as your remote works to unlock the jeep.
Simple install. You can add a longe range remote if you wanted. It's about an additional 100$.

I'm running a viper because I wanted to add proximity sensor. However if I only was going for remote start, there's plug and play kits that utilize the stock key. I would have done that instead

I went with viper for the distance. My office is surrounded by a couple thousand miles of wire and all kinds of interference so I went with the most powerful one I could find. It works great.

The only problem that I can see is if you have a kill switch. I don't think you can still do a remote start....

I bought one on Amazon that said it was an oem car starter for the jeep and it took maybe 10 min to install super easy, it uses your factory key fob you just click the lock button 3x and it starts. I think I paid like 90 something for it.
