How much fuss and bother is it to install a remote starter?

As I moved from Arizona to Minnesota to be with him, there is a certain irony in the Minnesota-born man getting that luxury and not me. So I'm wondering, since my birthday is next month, is it something that would be reasonable to ask for for a present? He is moderately skillful, mechanically speaking - more electronics knowledge, really. Also he has a cousin who is a mechanic who *might* be able to help. One hitch in the works is that he is a very large man, and my car is a very small car - a 96 Saturn SC-1, so if it would involve getting at anything from underneath the car, he would not be able to manage it.

EDITED TO ADD: I do confess to a little envy. Not enough to trade his gas bill for mine, though.

Ok, maybe a lot of envy ;-D
