04 Matrix Factory Anti-Theft System

I am trying to install a remote starter into my Matrix XR. My problem is that I can find no place that will tell me if the car has an Anti-Theft system installed. Anyone that has an answer to this question will have my profound thanks. I tried putting an older remote start in it and got it to crank the engine but it would never start. I don't know if that was because there is a anti-theft in it or if it just did not crank long enough for it to catch.
My thanks in advance
Dan

I am installing a simple Bulldog Remote start, no door lock/unlock control. The only infor I have found says that the Matrix did not come with an antitheft system untill 2005. But I am not sure if there is anything in the 2004's. ???What Ignition Relay do you speak of???? Is this where I can tell if there is the immobilizer already on my car? Thank you for the help.

as you stated 03-04 never came with an immobilizer therefore you may need to install one....for all i know when i installed my computar i had to put a relay on my ignition for the remote starter to work and the immobilizer...
