Wish I had to install one myself.

Answer 2

The remote starter duplicates the function of the key. You will need to get under the dash and solder the wires from the remote starter to the proper wire harness wires.

In newer vehicles you will also need to properly bypass the car security features that are usually part of the key.

You will probably need to install a pin switch to prevent the remote start from starting the car with the hood open.

Lastly you will wire to power/ground and the brakes.
