ok, so I don't have to actually get near the ignition switch? I saw a number of wires below the column but wasn't sure if they were the right ones since they were plugged into a grey harness of some sort. There seemed to be multiple yellow wires, which should be the 12v contant lead - does it matter which one I use? Any help would be appreciated.

Check this site out if you're having problems with finding the wires.

Look for the section 'wire guide search' and you can enter in vehicle info and it will give you a wire guide. Very helpful

Are you sure that is the site? It doesn't seem to want to work.

I just installed a DesignTech Autocommand (model 2100 maybe?) remote starter last night. Bought it off ebay for $30.00, new in package - the same one they sell at Autozone for $85.00. Not a bad install, but splicing the wires is a bit tedious - not much slack in the wires, or room to work. It's a pretty slick setup - no unnecessary bells or whistles...just a remote starter. Works great. I just need to finish routing the antenna through the A-pillar and to the windshield and I'm finished.
