I've read a couple threads about remote starts and checked with my local Ford dealer. Thay want to charge me about $530 to purchase and install the system in my 04 Scab. Seems high to me. Any thoughts?

 

That's more than double what you should pay for a top-notch remote start... tell them to stick it and find somebody else.

 

Where are you located??

 

For the Ford Gold system that price is ok. Or you could buy the parts for about $250 and have Sandog53 install it for you.

 

Over in Ohio. A little bit of a road trip but thanks.

 

I bought the Clifford RSX 3.5 (http://www.clifford.com/matrix/responder/default.asp) for $250 from Streamline Motoring (http://www.streamlinemotoring.com/in...l?v=1&pid=1181) and had a local installer put it in for $285 including labor, parts, and tax.

The features on this alarm/remote start blow away anything you'll get from Ford.
