On the Toyota Tundra X-SP, which is the vehicle I had before my Z, I had the viper 5901. It was absolutely amazing. I loved that thing. I would agree that it is best to check the windows, especially since the windows roll up completely when you shut the door. The tilt sensor was a great feature that I had and it gave me a sense of security apart from the actual alarm itself. Also, you can buy the automatic window relay to go along with the remote, but honestly I wish I could go back and not waste all that money. I mean yes its cool, and everybody loves it, it just isn't that practical. The range on these things is supposedly a mile, I don't want my windows down on my Z with me a mile a way, because there has been a few times when I accidentally hit the button on mine.

In my tundra, if I remote started my truck and then decided to turn it off, my lights would stay on unless I opened the driver door. So a few times my battery died from accidentally hitting the button and not knowing about the lights being on(the alarm has a feature to make the vehicle go off after so many minutes of being remotely started), so that is something you will need to be careful with. Basically just be careful about mashing buttons without knowing it and you will be fine. I loved my 5901 which is very similar to the 5902, and if you don't have a garage the remote start will come in very handy in the winter!
