Default Car Alarm

Does Anyone Know How Much It Will Cost To Get An Alarm Installed At The Suzuki Dealership?

Well you could get an aftermarket alarm with remote start installed cheaper somewhere else than just alarm at the dealer.

Talking

you can get an aftermarket alarm that is either better (feature rich) or one that will be cheaper and more than likely it will be both compared to the dealer
I remember that audio express had remote starts back when they were a novelty for cheaper than dealer installed plain alarm
and of coarse 1$ install

shop around as far as alarms go
Ive seen as cheap as 19.99
but I beleive that for 150.
you can get a pretty nice package
from one of your local car stereo places

just depends on what you want it to do
most likely youre getting annoyed by the safety feature that prevents locked keys

lol, your ecu will not "burn up" Alarm systems are in no way connected to your ecu/pcm. Alarms come with their own control modules. All they need are a source of power(battery), and to be tapped in to the appropriate wiring.(power locks, parklights, etc.)

the cost of installation depends on the type of alarm you are getting and what features you are having installed. An alarm with remote start will cost you more. If your car does not have factory power locks, that will cost you more. I've yet to see a good factory alarm system. they're comparable to the cheapest aftermarket units you can find. With very basic features. Just compare dealership alarm features with some aftermarkets.

I bought a 791xv Viper system from my work. Couldn't be happier with it.

he is sooo right and please check around alot find out if they match competion+%
man there is a great way to wack costs
say youre pricing out for dad wife whatever
theyre approving final cost get them to right on letter head final cost now take it down street and pull same
but get them to right it on there own letterhead
this is now their advertised price
go to next place
this is a good way to knock a good 30% off any of these match+ deals it works just depends on how good you can bs your way some will laugh in you face but so what just go down road
I dont have time to do this as much as I used to
and never pushed it too far I usually can tell the best deal I m gonna get
and in recent years I dont even bother with it. just shop around and wait for a bargain this car was the first spur of the moment decision in over a decade but I still love it
