Great suggestions.

mtempsch: I'll check at my local car stereo/alarm shop and see if they have anything that would work.

f_devocht: I drive an '89 Chevy S-10 Blazer though, so no remote for the car. Like you say, it would be nice to have the doors on remote anyway, so I'll check that out while I'm at the shop.

Of course it would carry the added bonus of never having to wait for the empeg to boot up, since it would always boot before I ever got to the car. Shweeet!
