It seems to me that I remember being in a conversation with several people involving remote car starters and several people had very unfortunate horror stories to tell about their experiences. One person had gone the after market do-it-yourself route, had a small engine fire, and was denied insurance coverage because it was 1), not factory original equipment, and 2), it was self-installed. Another person installed one and then decided to have the dealer "check it out" and the dealer refused citing liability issues.

I don't mean to scare you, but I would mean to suggest your thoroughly research what you are about to do before you do any of it. With today's vehicles, life is not easy under the hood. The 2004 vehicles are full of computers and processors, and the slightest of electrical irregularities might cause problems. Also, check with your insurance carrier.

I wish you good luck, but, be careful.
