remote starter from dealer

[mcw2481]

i was wondering does anybody know if the dealership installs remote starters for the charger and if they do how much do they run?

My dealer contracted out CodeAlarm to install one. It was done on the dealer site but not by the dealer's employees. I want to say it cost $300. Maybe it's a bit expensive but I wanted to go through someone I knew had worked on Chargers before.

yeah i want to go through somebody who works on chargers to because i heard a remote starter on a charger can be a pain in the ass

I am REALLY considering having this installed. I spoke with the dealer and they quoted me $400.00 (4 hour install) for the install alone. Not to mention the parts themselves, which totalled about $320.00 (Dealer price). So if I was to do it through my dealer it would cost me upwards of $750.00!

I investigated into this a little more and found that there is a seller on ebay who offers the OEM kit for about $270 shipped. As for the install, I asked my local, well known audio installer and I was quoted $100. So as you can see, $370.00 is a huge difference from $750.

IMO, DON'T GO WITH THE DEALER!!! I hope this helps you. Good luck!

If you're interested I believe this is the one I have. It was installed as part of a package. Upon looking into the CodeAlarm site I likely would have chose something a bit better but honestly it serves it's purpose.
