Remote car starter question...
(I have searched)
I would like to get a remote starter, and was wondering what some good brands are, and where I can buy them online... I have a few questions, so bare with me:
1) Can a remote starter be installed if you have the factory security system with immobilizer?
2) (Didn't really find an answer for this) If you start the car, and your doors were already locked, will the starter unlock them, or keep them locked?
3) Is there any risk or harm done to the engine having a remote starter?
4) If someone was to break into the car, they can't drive off if I remote started it, right? Once they pressed the brake the engine would turn off, correct?
5) Can you set the starter to leave the car running for a certain period of time, say 5 or 10 minutes, and then have it shut off?
6) If I had it installed by my Honda dealership, will it void the warranty?
I think that's pretty much it. I really don't know anything about remote starters, so that's why I had all of those questions
I would like to know where to buy these, either online or in a store, and which are the best brands/models.
Thanks

#2 and #5 are characteristics of the alarm itself, in the programing. i can set my remote starter to unlock the doors when it starts, but that doesn't seem like a smart idea.
having the car start up, run for a bit, and shut off is also an alarm dependent feature, mine wont do that, so if thats a feature you want, you gotta find remote starters that do it.
i have a code alarm 7600, great product, hasn't failed me yet.
