Yeah I installed a remote starter in my truck and its pretty sweet, especially when its cold, have yet to try it when its hot. Only gotten over 80 a few times down here.
There are isolater systems that use 2 batteries. One for the stereo and another for the engine starter and basic systems and the stereo battery doesn't kick on until the engine is putting out the 14 volts. I actually got my speaker amp because the owner thought it was blown. Turns out the fuse was only burnt and so it hadn't worked in over 5 years. FYI, the amp is so old the line was discontinued in 1994 and this thing is still working nicely.

haha that is a great way to get an amp!, I got both of mine for $100 each because they are B-stock, only 1 problem so far with those, but the place i bought it from replaced it for free because it happened only like 2-3 months after I bought it.
I want to get an isolator like that because Ive noticed my lights dim a little when the sound is up, but ive only noticed it when the engine is running slow, like less than 1500 rpm's. When i do get the underdrive pulleys I will for sure have to increase the Idle speed so I dont drain my battery!  And I cant wait for my remote started to be installed, that will be great in summer and winter! and we get pretty harsh for both of those! lol

I was going to buy an isolater but when I went to a custom audio place they just said they would rig something like that (in other words they didn't have a clue what I was talking about).
The remote starter is actually pretty easy to do as long as you take your time and get the connections right. I actually thought it was fun. Showed it off to some friends and I'll be putting one in a friend's chevy and making a race style start system for a friend's car. ...yeah we get pretty harsh winters over here too. I remember three times where the temperatures were in the 20's.
