How hard is it to install one of these? People like FS and 2001 are charging ridiculous prices for labor. I have installed dozens of complete systems (decks, comps, subs, amps etc.). I was comptemplating retailers only for the install warrenty, so I wouldnt have to deal with it later.

My car is a 97 SL2, i dont need to bypass anything, it already has the actuators for the doors and trunk.

So how hard would it really be to install?

what type of starter is it ?

u could do it if u have a good soldering iron, a multi meter, sharp exacto blade, knowledge of how to create relay packs for actuators, a staub tech account or similar site to let u know which wires are which, ect ect...future shop charges a vary very fair install charge on rs...its 150 for a remote start/ alarm combo which equalls u paying for 3 hours labour...more often then not it ends up being longer, so not only do u have install warranty but you have capped labour unless prior arrangments were made in regards to bypass mudules ect...

Install labour for alarms/starters are actually one area that I think shops are quite low on. IMO on a newer car it's absolutely worth the price as it's too easy to screw up, and potentially very expensive if you do.

Finally moving into the 21st century...

on the flip side of that with the new cars it can be an installers dream like a newer escalade with a BCM...remove a pannel and boom most every wire is staring u in face... u can get print outs of exact placements of the wires as well

Well it isit hard but just time consumeing,being under the dash for like 1 hour or so.PLus you need a paper saying now in canada you can install remorte starts.

O damn i wish we could just pee in cups like the state guys do

plus you need 2500 hours to go and write this

Now your saturn has passlock 1 so you will need a bypass module.

but that car is pretty easy

Just one of everything

1,12v
1,starter wire
1,ign
1,acc

plus for the door locks they are (+) if you have factory keyless


but the way i look at it,is if your already doing all that then just install a 2 way system.

probly 1 hour worth more of work

and the r

Pay a pro to do it.....do not do it yourself.It will cost you less in the long run.

little more labour intensive then what u just mentioned there...as an industry member id highly recommend u getting it installed by a pro, trouble shooting and learning by mistake is a lot easier when ur working with a fused line from an amplifier that may ground out, or crossing ur audio wires...dont mess arround unless u know what ur doing and have the right tools etc...
