New to automation but full of ideas lol

Havnig spent more than a few hours reading info on this site I've decided to try and jump in.
I've just bought a new car so thought I'd try to automate this first.
I have a Visonic Powermax alarm and from what I've read if I want to detect the sensors on a computer I need one of those RFXcom Visonic RF Receivers ?
I found this site which talks about using a Visonic transmitter and reciever to monitor if his car was on the drive.

So reading this could I use the RFXcom Rf Receiver and a MCT100 to monitor ignition and door lock status ?
One thing I don't understand however is what happens when the MCT100 goes out of range, ie the car drives off ?
Food for thought aint it.
