I don't know what the plug for a starter is, but on an '02 diesel you have to start from scratch. It's not that hard, just time consuming.

I had one installed in my PSD last year. $250. Figure the parts are maybe $100, so for the extra $150 I let them hassle with it. Love it. Make sure you get one that has the glow plug timer. Some just have timers which are ok, but the newer ones, can read the data code that sets controls the glow plug light and only cranks when the glow plug sending unit give it the OK. Mine is an O6. I think the older ones may use a more basic approach, like monitor power to the dash light.
