Ok so I dropped my SS off last night to have the 2-way advanced remote start installed today... Got a call a few minutes ago saying it was done and can come get here... AT THE COST OF 318.91 could someone tell me if this is a round about average price or am I getting the shaft somehow... Someone please chime in soon before I go pick her up so I know if I need to jump down someones throat and find a new dealer...

We charge $286 plus tax.

donlow

is that including the price of the part tho?

ChevyMgr

Yes $150 for kit and $136 to install.

Ok I got raped... 318.90 just for install...

Most GM dealers have an accessory link on their web site under the Parts Department tab. Check them out and see if that is their usual charge for the remote install. GM accessory guide suggest a 1.7 hour charge for the install.

This is straight off our accessory site.

Will this work on an 09 SS Auto Trans ?

ChevyMgr

The web site says it will.

techguy

ok ... is this something that can be self installed ? or REQUIRES Dealer programing ?

ChevyMgr

I guess you could install it your self (antenna and wiring) but the dealer would have to program. The antenna mounts to the quarter window and the wires go to the RCDLR by the inside rear view mirror.
