Even here in the US in some areas they are illegal if installed on a vehicle
that does not have a neutral safety switch. But unfortunately they are still
sold in those areas for people to install in cars anyway.

   Most of the remote starter kits I have seen don�t really mention the
safety point on the outside of the package but put it inside that it would
be unsafe to use on a vehicle without a neutral safety switch.  That is also
where I found the info that they were not to be used in some areas and to
check your local DMV rules.
