In order for your car to auto start you must override the immobilizer. The one way is to get an extra key, (buy at least 1 extra key and program it yourself it is in the how to section but dont forget you must need 2 working keys can store up to 4 keys) and get the module for it. People usually file the key down so you cant use the key to start the car or if you feel lucky just put the key in the module and hide it very good. But if you have any problems with the alarm and you installed it yourself, Compustar will not warranty it or help you with it.. Also the instructions do not tell you how do some of the features of the alarm you must find out from the person you bought it from (or someone that knows how to program the alarm)

Also, are you saying that when you install an alarm with a kill switch it renders the immoblizer useless?
Thanks

If you do the remote start with the car in gear, it will move forward and stall, but probably not before it hits something in front of it.

wait... so from what I'm reading around if you put that key in.. get new keys reprogrammed, those keys will still be okay, as in they will be working immobilizers keys?
