Anyone using an alarm with remote start?

I currently dont have an alarm. I think it has an old school derringer that doesn't work. Or it had the key fob and doesn't have the alarm, either way.

Id really like some kind of alarm with remote start, since I like to warm up my car before driving it, and most of the time I cant sit there and wait 3-5 min.

Im wondering which brands you guys are using.

PS I never leave my car in gear. Never ever.

Thanks,
M

Your not supposed to let it warm up by idling anyways. Read the manual, it says drive it immediately after starting.
