OK....... I don't know whether to feel like we got hosed or not...... The remote start they installed is the Prestige ASP57a. It works ok...... I am still apprehensive about the car that will cost us about 40k when it's all said and done having such a seemingly simple remote start system that bypasses all of the factory security features.... We paid $495 for this through the dealer. They assured us that everything is covered under the warranty since it is with the new car. Part of me feels as though we got hosed...... Please feel free to interject..... How much easier is it to steal the car now? Thanks.

Random numbers...
Dealership charges you ........ $400
They pay company they sub out the work to $200
They pay the installer working on your car $50 (he can slam that in, in well under two hours)
With that unit the dealership probably made 200-300 of you.
