Mark,
I've installed two of them. One in a Dodge conversion van and one in a Dodge Grand Caravan. I don't remember the manufacturers of either of them.
The DVDs that were provided with the units made the installation look very easy. In fact, they are a pain in the neck to install. You have to tap into a bunch of wires that are coming out of the steering column. They are under the dashboard and are hard to access. You have to attach the unit to something under the dash. You also tap into the fuse block and have to install a plunger switch that is operated by the hood so that the remote starter won't work when you're working on the engine doing something else.
In both cases, the units worked well for about 6 months and then quit. They were too hard to access to make it worth my while to try to diagnose the problems so I just abandoned them.
Technically, they are a cinch. Just color coded wires, solder, tape and a drill. But you need to plan on four to six hours of standing on your head screwing around under the dash to accomplish the task.
