If you are asking the question, i would def be taking it to a professional. These do have antitheft that needs to be bypassed during remote start. Not too bad, but if its your first it would probably be difficult.
 
They seem like they'd be more pain than it's worth when you can get best buy or the like to install one for pretty cheap.

I've got a audiovox on my 96 zj and it's worked since we got it a good 5 or so years ago. I've also got a viper on the 01 CTD. The majority of the brands you find are made by the same people anyways.
 
Anything Directed Electronics would be ok. Just make sure it is a reputable shop. There are some good installers at best buy but they are far and few between.
 
As far as a good shop is concerned ck out Adrenaline Auto Sound in Clayton. Dave is the ONLY MECP master certified installer in NC. He knows his shit. Very good to work with too. Tell him Jason from AV Spot sent ya!
