I have the ford remote start system on my mystique.
It works well enough, but you pay more to have the Ford-branded remote. The only reason I got the Ford unit instead of an aftermarket (and cheaper!) starter was because of warranty concerns. I didn't want to void my extended warranty by having a non-ford product installed. It costs more... much more... but it works well.
If you do get the Ford remote start -- get the silver version (as opposed to the bronze). That way, you can have all of your remote functions (doors, trunk, start, panic) on one remote. I got the bronze system, and I have two remotes... one for doors, one for remote start.
Oh yeah -- if you start the car by remote, you then cannot use your remote door or trunk release... at least that's how mine got set up. If anyone knows a way around this, let me know please.
