Best Remote Starter?

Need to put a remote starter in a 2011 Escape Limited, that is still under warranty.
Should I go for a genuine dealer installed Ford one?
Buy a kit & try to install myself?
Go to an aftermarket place?
Anyone done thisand what was the cost/result?

How much, and do you get separate fobs or new keys with start switches?

The Explorer had one key fob that unlocked the doors and hatch.The Escape I believe was the same it had an additional key fob for the auto start.I cann't remember the exact amount as it was over 6 years ago but I think between $350-$480.installed
