The Ford remote start gives you 2 actual Ford keys, which if you had to get them yourself would cost a few few hundred (up here in Canada at least). Mine was $410 installed, including parts with Canadian tax, and came with the 2 OEM keys as opposed to an aftermarket fob. It took an hour.
I didn't want an aftermarket one etc (I'm not hating, it was just preference). My only complaint is that the thing doesn't run long enough (5 mins) and I would like it to stay on for a bit longer. I turn it on before I get changed after work and it's often off by the time I get out there.

you can set the run time from 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and 15 minutes through the system set up in the truck

Go oem. They are usually plug and play.
After market systems have to be spliced in.

Agreed. Thats one reason I haven't done a stereo in this truck yet. No plug and play way to get signal to my amps. I can just hear the dealership now "truck wont start because you tapped the speaker wire, warranty denied"

I agree. Nice knowing your truck actually starts without having to look at it. A 2 way system is also good when you can't remember if you locked the truck. Just don't hack one in yourself unless you know what your doing, and stick to a quality brand of bypass (ads) and starter/alarm (compustar). Oem is fine but there are better options out there.
