Is a cheap remote car starter bad for my car?

I found this remote car starter kit at an auto store for about USD 30. I know that most remote car starters run for about USD 300. I know its not top of the line or anything. I just want to know if this cheap car starter could harm my car in any way. I have a 2000 mercury grand marquis if it makes a difference. Thanks!

I had one that was not cheap and one day I came into the parking lot and it was trying to start the car by itself. Even the pricey ones can fail. I would think the cheap ones are even worse. Will it work with your car alarm? Will it work if you have the car valet parked? Does it come with a decent warranty? Does it come with a video or complete instructions for YOUR car model sometimes the generic instructions do not recognize wire color - coding changes made during a production run ? What will you pay to install it or are you qualified to install it yourself ? Think about that before you get one and maybe save yourself some grief
No. It might not last long, it will not hurt your car
I do not have alot of experiance in remote starters but I will tell you what I know. It shoulden't hurt your car persay but depending on the wires you get and how much amperage and voltage it takes it could drian your battery. as for computor damage I have no idea
