Aftermarket Keyless Entry Questions
Who makes a good keyless entry/start system for 3rd gens?
From what I understand it would have to be a TPI and auto tranny right?
How difficult would this install be, and how reliable are they?

A table of wire color codes and locations relevant to remote start, car alarm and keyless entry installations is avaliable at:

I'm sure that I will be using that website when I have something in hand, but right now I just have general questions and that website doesn't answer any of them...
no flame.
But TPI and auto is the only thing I can put it on?

Either TPI or TBI fuel injection will be fine.
Remote start with an automatic transmission is relatively safe, but is dangerous if combined with a manual tranny. There was a recent thread on this issue:

As for brands, they're all similar in the sense that they electrically emulate the ignition switch. Some things to watch for:
-Look & feel of the remote controls. Do you have a dedicated button for for lock & another seperate dedicated button for door unlock? Do you like the visual appearance of the remotes?
-Transmitter range
-Use of outboard which are easier to replace than onboard relays should they ever fail
-Many of the cheap generics have vague instruction manuals that contain errors and words jumbled together that do not make sentences.
