It all depends on the quality of the install. Ask them what is included, ask them if they solder all connections, if not how much more would it be. Ask them if they are gonna hide all the wires, and the brain and etc.

It really all depends on the quality of the install, before you pay anything ask what is included.

But $150 is around average.

I say 120 thru 220, It really depends on how the install is. Every installer is diffrent on how they setup a kill switch. on how they hide there wires. I like to hide all my wires so if someone looks under there dash you can't tell if the car has a alarm. But the labor has to go up. If it just a average install it should be in the 120-150 zone. But if you can look underneth the dash and disconnect the kill switch ir see the brain, it a 100 dollar job in my veiw.

that's CHEAP for a remote start install....if it's just the security side, sure, that's not too bad at all.

yup the cleaner the install the more id charge for it. u pay 80 bux for a 140 install your going to get an 80 looking job. so pay your installer well and hope that he is doing the best job he could on hiding wires and brain to make it look nearly OEM

All alarm and remote starts installs get soldered connections and hidden wiring and brains, we remove all unused and excess wiring and give you a life time warranty on the install regardless if you got it from us or someplace else, if you got it from us, RE&RE is also covered in the event of a warranty issue with the unit. 94
