I'm considering this one...CompuStar Pro P2WSSR. Don't know much about it yet but am still looking into it. Seems to be the latest release from CompuStar and I'm currently trying to find prices on it.

You'll not only need the $200-300 ebay compustar unit (bought several compustar units 2wss-as off of ebay ... legitimate sellers on there) but also a transponder bypass unit (e.g. Honda-SL3) +/- the CAN-SL2 module to help tackle the doorlocks/trunk/accessories (like defroster)

I installed the 2wss-as myself and I love it .. paid $250 on ebay, $45 for the Honda-SL3, and $40 for the CAN-SL2, and about $20 for 12 vdc 40amp relays and wiring and wire looming. I've done remote start installs for years, so I woudln't tackle this unless you absolutely KNOW what you're doing ... easy to screw up and fry something.

The compustar is very reliable and crazy awesome range ... about 1.2 miles without any intereference, and excellent building to building transmission.
