Yes and no, I suggest getting a hold of a local audio installation shop and see if they can help you. To install an aftermarket remote start system you have to bypass the anti theft system.

I am not a mechanic and have had no problems with my 2005 Ion-2 but at msn/autos I see that these can exhibit a starting problem because of the ignition switch which they recommend replacing. The part is around $40 & the labor is 1 hr.

SOURCE: car will not start

You probably can't.
If the anti-theft module is in the cluster, you would need the correct key chip for the car the cluster came out of.
You might be able to bypass the passkey system by running a wire to the fuel pump relay and other components.
You may need a shop manual to find the circuits.

Car wont start a car symbol with a lock is on and says service vehicle
Anti theft system has gone defective. You can try using your spare key if you have one, Turn the key to the "run" position and leave it set for 10 minutes or so, shut it off and see if the light goes away, if it does, make arrangements with a good mechanic/technician to bypass the security, if it doesn't you're probably going to have to get it towed to the dealer for repair.

I have a 2005 Saturn Ion with the anti theft light on at all times. the car starts fine but the light won't turn off.
I suggest looking in your owners manual for resetting gauges. I know on a friends honda he had to leave the key in for 10 minutes unattended in the on position and then turn it over and put the car in reverse. Also if you have installed anything aftermarket dealing with electronics this could have upset the security system. The most common cause is a cd player. Hope this helps.

2005 saturn ion won't start, no clicking sound, all lights and accessories are working. what's wrong?
Mine (an '04 Ion sedan) has an issue with it's anti-theft computer programming, in where it will occasionally (maybe once every three weeks) not want to start. What is happening is that the computer is thinking that someone is attempting to steal the car (even though the factory key is being used), and disables the ignition for ten minutes. What I typically do is just turn the key all the way off, and sit until the radio clicks off (exactly 10 minutes), at which point I try again and it starts right up.
It's pretty annoying, but, to my knowledge, the only fix is to get a new computer, and while it's a pain in the ***, it's not worth $600+ to remedy.

This is also a relatively common issue in '98-'02 era Chevrolet Malibus, as well as some other GM cars of that time.

My 2004 saturn ion won't start when its cold I even have a block heater to plug it in and it won't start
the anti theft wire under the steering column gets to cold and locks out ignition. i just found the auto theft wire and disconnected it. or you can take a blow dryer or heat gun run under the steering column for 3-5 minutes. if you do disconnect the auto theft wire you must do it while the car is running. use the blow dryer method, start the car then disconnect the auto theft wire.

Anti theft engaged for no reason
That one your going to have to goto the dealer for. I think the alarm you have is after market, so you will probably have to if them check it.

Flashing light
the anti theft thing will come on and prevent starting for a while if it believes it is attempting to be stolen. even something silly like someone bumping it could possibly cause that. now if it does it at your house in a locked garage or something...
