Its a two way sytem. One of the guys I know has it on his Honda CRV. One thing I am most interested is that you can program it so that it starts engine every hour (2, 3,4 hours) and idles for 10mins and goes off. This would have been very useful during the freezing -35C temps during night.

Likely to be chinese or taiwanese.

To be able to remotely start the engine the system will need to somehow sense that the engine has started and switch off the starter. How is this accomplished?
