What you want is the system that Ambulance and Police Cars use, you start the car with the key, press a button inside, take the key out (the engine stays running) then shut the door.
If someone got in and tried to drive away the car would cut off because the key isn't in

yo, I can vouch for it! You've gotta get it, it is so sweet, stepping of your warm house and into your warm car in the morning is so sweet. Your all nice and warm with all your windows clear when everyone else is wearing their jackets and rubbing there windows or using lighters to open there doors. dude.

Alternatively, save yourself XXX amount of pounds and park your car in the garage overnight for the same effect !
Personally, i don't think I could fully relax using a remote start, even if my car is in a locked garage.

Hy man, it was a £150 option on top of the cat1 alarm I got, think the cheapest alarm was about 200 to 250 so that would be about 350 all in.
I paid 550 all in for the 1 i got, concept650 with dual zone senors which actually don't work too well with tinted windows, saying that i might take it back and complain as they didn't tell me the sensors would be affected by the tinted film which was already on the car before the install (company name was V-TECH)!
You can also get inteli windows where you can control you windows with the remote if you really want to pimp your ride for an extra £200 on top.
Later dude.,
