Anyone install a remote starter?

Does anyone know where I can find a link to an article on installing a Remote Starter into a 97 LTD S.O.H.C ?

On a scale of 1 - 10 , how difficult is it?

Thanks

Back in 98 I installed one in my 92.

The instructions that came with it said "For Professional instalation only" That was about it for any help.

Took about a solid week to get it done(after work) I had to drive for a while with a dismantled dash while I figured out which wire went to what on the truck.

Around central Indiana its not much more to have Ziebart or Best Buys install one.

The work is easy if you know what goes where. If the instructions were like mine its a real

I put on on my 98 Eddie Bauer and it took about 3 hours. Mine was from Bulldog Security and I went to their website to download the wiring scematic for my SPECIFIC year, make and model. That scematic is worth it's weight in gold!! If you have a computer chip in your key (like I did), you'll also need a transponder to bypass the security system and a spare key to leave in the transponder. I also bought the T-harness whick plugs into the vehicle electric harness under the dash which will give you the wires you need to hook to without having to splice the factory harness.
A scale of 1 to 10, it's a 4 if you are good with vehicle electronics. A 9 if you have no clue!
