You don't really need a turbo timer.

But if you want one, most of the higher end alarm systems also have a turbo timer feature.
It is wonky with our keyless entry system, but still possible. The Viper remote start with iphone app is the one I was about to buy. Pretty slick, and you can turn your car on and off while deployed! (if you have WiFi on base that is

Might be good to keep it running, might kill someone in the house of CO poisoning

any audio alarm shop will have the ability to fake the key for the (very) remote start.

The new radio (if blue tooth equipped) will be fine. Get the Metra Axxess steering wheel Interface to keep audio and BT functionality, eh?

AND you can program the SWI to scroll through preset radio stations instead of the stoopid only seeking up/down... [rolls eyes]

(And thanks for serving our country!)

An Evo isn't a DSM in the least, Google Diamond Star Motors.
