[QUOTE=Adams' Apple]Here in Texas, the po-lice have been issuing tickets($100 a pop) for people that start their cars in the mornings to let them warm up, and leaving them unattended. It is illegal here to leave a running vehicle unattended. It makes it so much nicer for thieves if you warm your car up for them before they steal it, tho, and I'm sure they would appreciate it.
Another issue is the chance of the vehicle jumping out if park, and running amuck thru the neigborhood.(it could happen...)
You may want to check your local laws, just in case...[/QUOTE]

Joel,
I thought in Texas you were allowed to shoot a thief who is trying to steal your car, especially if it's in your driveway.
Adam, just put a Bulldog on my wife's Buick on Saturday. It went in very easy. Go on line to their web site and punch in your vehicle and your wiring diagram shows up. They are all color coded wires. For more range get one with the antenna that go on your windshield. I have a Auto Command in my truck that works very well and they are all programmable for different features.

Not so easy to defend yerself in court if the vehicle is already running. Can you say "Entrapment"? The thieves can...

Hey, my wife just got a new automatic car starter, with two corvettes in the warm garage I go out and start her car about 15 minutes before she needs to go anywhere..

I agree with Dave. Bulldog is very reasonable, and their website and customer service is very helpful. If I can install one, I know you can Adam. Oh the good news is I never had to grab my Texas Smithandgogetcha and shoot anyone. Here in Michigan its against the law.
