Been looking a remote start system for my 2000, Ford Taurus. Though I finally found one I could afford from Car Toy's, internet site which had a Compustar 925S on sale for $219.96, (the regular price was $299.99). Standard installation at a local store was included. The site did say that some vehicles might require a "bypass or door lock modular" for an additional $69.95, which I knew my car would require. Prior to ordering this I called the local store to see about setting up an appointment f or the installation. I was told that I would have to bring in the vehicle so they could take a look at it before making an appointment, which I found hard to understand as I believed they should basically know what kind of electrical system a common car would have, but did take my vehicle for them to look at. Once I got to the store I showed the salesman a print out from the Car Toys web site showing him the price and items I was going to order. They didn't even go out and look at my vehicle, after telling me they needed to see the vehicle. Then they told me it would be just over $600 for the unit and installation. I had previous quotes from other dealer's in the area which were for a little over $300, but thought I could save a little over $50 getting this one that was on sale. STAY AWAY from Car Toys; they just want to get you in the store and see how much they can try and get out of you. I told them I would no way pay $600 for this and left.
