What is a good remote starter?

I want a remote start and keyless entry system to go on my Silverado. I dont want a full blown alarm here, I just want to be able to hit a button and open the doors, and start it from the comfort of my family room to get the heat going. I looked around in stores, and online but there are just so many choices I dont even know where to begin... What is a good brand to buy? I looked on Ebay and only found a few hundred for sale... What is the going rate for a decent start w/keyless entry? What would you get if you were going to put one on?

DEI, Clifford Matrix RSX 3.5 Remote start system. Thats what I have. Alarm, Remote Start, Keyless Entry, Trunk Release its also a 2way system so your keychain will beep/vibrate if the alarm is triggered and it will tell you what set it off such as shock sensor, or door opened stuff like that. I think its retail price is 379-499. But usually anything by DEI is pretty good.

Ok, thanks, I have just looking around on Ebay to see what brands and stuff are out there. After reasearching it, DEI (and related brands) seems to be very populay on this board and LS1... I'm not looking for a complete alarm system here though. I just want something that will lock/unlock my doors and start the truck from my house in the winter. It seems that there are several brands to choose from..


How anbout this "Bulldog"... how does it compare to a DEI product? I have also found several "Valet" (which I belive is also made by DEI) kits for just start and keyless entry for well under $100. I'm also going to head out this weekend and check the stores to see what they have.
