Hi, I want to install an aftermarket remote start in my Mazda 3 SP23, but don't know where to start. The car has a security system so I have to bypass that, I guess as well as the immobilizer system. Any ideas or help???

If you want to save yourself a lot of trouble, use the Mazda factory part. It's made for your car, and guaranteed to work and wire up properly. I have it on sale dirt cheap $225. Only 'til end of month. This will work seamlessly with your factory immobilizer and security system.

here's a link to order: http://tinyurl.com/2zcol6
 
If you want to review the install instructions, send me an email, and I'll send them back to you. jowen@nelsonmazda.com. that way you'll know what you are getting into.

Good advice, if you'd ask me.  
Modern cars and all their electronics can be difficult to reconcile w/after-market (AM) electronics. I have no interest in a remote start kit (plus I own a 5-sp) but have read about many that have installed AM starter kits and had at least one issue with them each.
 
Does your car have the man-u-matic?  Remote start kits won't work on the MTX cars, though they could probably be made to by bypassing the clutch-in override switch, which is of course not recommended.

In this case, and if you can, stay with the factory recognized part/kit.  You'll be a happier camper and sleep better @ night for it, I'm sure.
