Does my FX35 have remote start?

I recently bought a 2004 FX35. The previous owner lost the electronic key FOB, so I have to unlock the doors the old fashioned way. I've been looking into buying a replacement key FOB. But then it occurred to me, that my FX35 might have remote start, and I wouldn't even know it. If it has factory remote start, then I'd like to buy a factory key with the remote start button on it. How do you tell if you have remote start, when you're missing the key FOB?

But with my luck, it probably doesn't have remote start. So I looked at some after market remote start systems. The Viper Responder LE 4806V claims a 1 mile range, and tells you whether the car actually started or not. How realistic is that 1 mile range? It would be really nice to remote start from my desk at work. Or can anyone suggest any other models/brands? Where would be the best place to get something like that installed, if I don't do it myself?

Thanks guys!
 
To answer short, NO. Gen1 doesn't come with a factory remote start. But can be done with adding a module and burying your valet key in it, to send the signal to immobilizer. F.ex. Viper 791 or Audiovox 996a. You'd need to find a shop that specializes in that stuff to do the install.
