Range not as Advertised
Although this remote start was easy to install on my 2000 F150 it only has a range of approx 500-600 feet but claims 3000 feet. The Omega bypass "ALL" either was faulty or not flashed/programmed for my truck as advertised it would be and would not inergrate with my trucks security system. It was returned for a refund. I have enough knowedge to bypass the PATS system on my own so the remote start can still be used without a key being left in the ignition. Customer service was very good considering these situations are extremely difficult to handle over the phone or by email trying to resolve.

Great product
Pros:
Programmable for many different options
Inexpensive
Comes with two remotes
Includes LED status light
Cons:
Requires additional relays for some power door lock applications and for the starter bypass feature
Poor signal strength (if you hide the antenna) (strength may be better if you just stick the antenna to the windshield like they want you to, but who wants an antenna in the middle of their windshield?)
Note: Installation is not that difficult if you know what you are doing. If you have never done anything like this before, I would suggest you take it to a shop.
