I got a car alarm installed from a stereo place the beginning of January 2004. When I got it installed they told me to go to their other store to have it installed. They installed it, but not right, so the next day I took it back. They still didn't do it right, so I took it back a 3rd time. The alarm has a remote start built in and I wanted that installed also, but they said I need an extra module for that to work. I didn't get it at that time. The alarm alone was 300 bucks installed and the module at that time was 150 bucks installed. I just went with the alarm. Now, I wanted to add that feature and they are trying to charge me 250 bucks installed. I did a little research and it turns out that I don't need that module at all. I had the company that makes the alarm talk to the manager and the manager said that since my car is a new car it has a chip that won't do the remote start without the module. I then went to the company who makes that module and asked them if I need that for my car and they said, "No." That module is only for cars with keys that have a built in chip, so when the key is in the ignition it sends a signal to the car's computer. Do any of you think I can do anything about this because the remote start is included in the alarm, but on my receipt they wrote down no remote start. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. If this is unclear let me know and I'll try and explain it better.
