I ttok apart everything and thought about installing it myself, then a friend said he knew someone who was a genius w/ remote starts, he did the ENTIRE thing, from arriving to testing in about 35 minutes, it was $100 well spent.

I ebayed the viper unit (usually $200-$250) and got a refurbed unit with 1 year warranty for about $90 shipped.

Good enough deal to me, and it gets cold enough here I am glad I jumped on it. Now to do our SUV....
