I haven't done so, but should be possible. I hope it is simpler than on a 8+ year old Dodge GC. I started that project over New Year's holiday, still it isn't working right.

BTW, what remote starter device are you planning to use?

I have done it. The problem is that you have to be fairly close to the vehicle to make the remote start work. Also, the wiring diagrams I received from the manufacturer had the lock and unlock wires for the keyless entry features crossed.

In my book, not a worthwhile investment. The Keyless entry is great, despite that the directions were wrong, but don't waste the extra money on the remote start. Furthermore, the module I used checks to see if the brake is being pressed, and so a relay starts clicking that sounds like a tun signal every time I press the brake, very annoying.
