Remote Auto Starter?

I am looking for a high quality remote starter for my 97 Exp.
I have been told that a standard model will not work because of the Transponder key, is this true?
Also I am interested in a model that will start the truck automatically at programable intervales for the nights/days that are freezing cold, as well as to keep the battery up.

Recommendations?
Thanks!

Try the viper 550 esp, I installed it in my 99eb and it works really well. You can even program it to start every 3 hours up to 6 times.

Got the same model remote starter and it is awesome!!! I can't believe I didn't get one sooner. Even remotely opens your door locks for an extra $10.

What did this system cost, and was the installation pretty straight forward?
