Hmmm....don't know much about that brand names quality, but I say for the price you really can't go wrong. I am currently looking for one and the single most important thing to me is range. I want my wife to be able to start the car from in the bathroom, or inside the bank, or whatever. A remote starter that one has a range of a couple of car lengths is a joke.

How does it do through walls?? My garage is 4 stories down from my bedroom, and about 65 feet on the other side of the house, would it be able to start the car from there?? My Alpine alarm won't work from the master suite.

my work is solid concrete + marble, 6 floors.

it doesnt work in the lift wells, but it works just about
everywhere else, except for the complete opposite end of the
building, which is about 150m long.

its great, it pages me if theres any problems, can even tell
the cabin temperature

I think its around 433mhz, so has a fair degree of penetration.
better than mobile phones.

Live,

I say go for it. The price is good, so if it lasts a year or so I say you got your moneys worth. Installation isn't that hard as long as you have wiring schematics on your car.
