Default CompuSTAR Remote starter and Alarm + Power locks installed

Just got the truck back, I'm ready for winter! bring it on! haha

All 4 doors have power locks now controlled by the remote,
Alarm with shock senser / And one very loud siren.
Remote start for the colder mornings to thaw out the truck before I have to get into it.
Pager on windshield, just knock and it pages my remote letting me know someones at the truck.

Got it all installed at the local shop in town, "AutoGraphics" awesome customer service. I know its expensive but I think its worth every penny

Cost total was $1400 gave me a discount for parts and labor as well just cuz they over booked and it took them a bit longer than expected, just over 8 hours total, which was fine with me, my boss was off for the week so used his truck to get around.

Here's the unit I got installed

Did you have on your truck a factory remote start? Or that is way you installed this system?

That seems outragous. For $500 i could have had the same set up minus shock power locks and the starter for a manual. Even if the power locks had to be installed it never would have been close to that much

Holy crap. For another $1000 you could have supercharged it.

You did pay a lot for that (around $800 US or a little under will get you a top of the line Python or Viper installed most anywhere) but what matters is that you're happy with the job and happy to have it. Glad you like it!

(Guys it wouldn't hurt to give a little feedback other than ragging on him about the price either )
