I have one on my Cadillac Catera and love it. Whether it was after market or not, I don't know. 
 
Mine automatically locks the doors itself before it starts.  It also has, of course, a door alarm, plus the engine shuts down if the car is placed in drive without the key in the ignition. 
 
My only issue was that I started it from remote one day, and it died.  I again tried to remote start it, and again, it died.  ARRRGH!  I finally just went out, put the key in and started it manually so it could warm up, then went back into the house.   Not a good move.  On mine, at least, if you remotely start it and it dies, it will try 2 times to restart without you retrying. I didn't know this.   I started the car manually, but it was still in restart mode which automatically locks the cardoors.  I was locked out.  ARRRRRRRRGH!
 
Other than that, I love it.
 
Just remember...like someone mentioned: if you leave the a/c on when you get out, then the a/c will come on when you remote start it.  Same with the heat.  Be sure to leave the setting wherever you want it to be. 
 
good luck!
