This whole affair is annoying. Just yet another example of everything in modern society going so overboard on supposed security or safety issues. If car theft is such a huge problem take it out on the car thieves (e.g. shoot them), not on everyone else with all this ******** burden and complexity. Ditto for airbags and people who don't wear seatbelts.

Remote starts are hooked up to the brake as a safety. So if for some reason you need to kill the engine during the time it's running after being started with the remote starter you can just step on the brake to kill it. They should also have an over-rev, and also be hooked up to a neutral safety switch to make sure it doesn't start while in gear.
