Remote Starter and Alarm installer?

[single slam 12]

Best buys decent but alot of the installers just come in and learn I've been doing it scince 2000 and seen alot of products come and go. see if they can install with a multi meter and power probe no instructions then I'm impressed.

Well I will have to disagree with you about the whole "best buy hack" comment. Why? Because I myself use to work for best buy and all of our work was done to perfection.we soldered every single wired and used electrical tape on every single wire as well.I'm sure that not every best buy does the same work since it all depends on the installer.I use to work for best buy in Norwalk and we made sure to do good work.I do agree with you on the cost of installing a alarm/remote starter. I myself would not bother installing a alarm or remote starter unless I charge $100+ on labor.sometimes it's alot of work for so little money.if the Op decides to take his car to best buy,check out the best buy in Norwalk and have Jerome do your install. Gl with what ever choice you choose.

Unless paid for a premium bestbuys do not soldier i was the best buy installer trainer for 3 years and ive been to well over 1000+ best buys they are taught to be quick and sloppy. here is an example of one done at lowell ma location.

Who the hell uses t taps on an install. Some of the finest best buy installers in the world

Well I can assure anyone that when I did installs at best buy,I was thought to solder every wire. I always tested each wire with my multimeter,etc. I taped every single wire available. I zip tied,etc etc. But like mentioned before,not every installer does the same work.

oh i agree MR Dikk but at the same time america is brain washed with the big box stores like bestbuy and walmarts etc. they forget about the good mom and pops stores. That is the reason why best buy has an enemy now. They wanted to take out all the mom and pop shops so a few places with actual capital started internet sales. Everyone needs to survive. Now almost every joe smo sells online and nickel and dimes everything. Look at TV sales best buy created there own worst enemy. They cannot compete with online sales. They wanted to undercut the mom and pop stores by putting tv's at dealer cost and keeping the back money on the TV's. Well the mom and pops stores with money faught back. Take a look at the un55d6300- bestbuy sells for 1699.99 after tax-1802 when you can buy the same tv shipped to your door for 1,539.00 with no tax at eastcoasttvs.com. i buy that tv for 1499. they are making 39$ on that tv lol. Get my point.

Yes sir I do..well I voiced my opinions on this thread. There are plenty of people who can do the install for the OP but it will not be cheap. I think that the price he has been quoted is already cheap enough considering that it includes parts,labor,etc.

[GhettoJay]

i do also jmddikk. They must be using some cheap garbage like Crimestopper or sidetek. to get to under 300$ installed

[jdmdikk]

Possibly. I only mess with D.E.I products(viper) and maybe with audivox but they are not my favorite(prestige)

[GhettoJay]

i love dei products and compustar. I hate prestige. I think there concepts are backwards on lot of units and ease of use

jay this is where i disagree with u,seein that i work for bestbuy install bay i can tell u now not every bay/installer does the same quality work.i've got plenty of members here under my belt n i can assure u can look under there dash n wont know where anything is (hence the reason ive yet to have a car stolen after my install) another reason i tuck everything is having any joe try n tamper with anything acting like he know's what hes doin he wouldnt have a clue where to start,unfortunatley some of the best buys dont follow operation standards n do quick half ass jobs (customers come to my location for repair smh) but that also 9/10 happens when the customers doesnt wana pay/or wants it done in 10min lol so u get what u pay for..i dont do it that way,u drop ur car off for the minimum 3hours or so depending on whats goin in n by the time im done the car looks stock as in nothing is there...sorry for anyone who's had a bad experience threw best buy but like i said some ppl dont take the same pride in there work like i do...

[GhettoJay]

and eg i aggree with you also but think about how many of those places actually take pride into there jobs. Not saying your location nor jdm's location but really how many. Im not saying im im the best in the world but throw a best buy employee to do a 2012 ford focus or a new 2012 civic ( which may i add is on canbus now) they will be a mess.

[GhettoJay]

I throw those two cars because i headed up the neww dball software from xpresskits in canada that is compatible with those cars the past week. Nor idata or fortin have the info yet.

those cars are cake,lol dball does all of the honda n flcan can do all of the ford even clone the key since u always need 2 for programming,so there maybe 4 wires at most from module along with the few from the starter/alarm the need to wire into the car if ur using d2d anyways lol.. keep in mind the locations,they dont see the same cars in/out like we do trust i get anywhere from honda,lexus,nissan pts etc.. if the other guys dont see the same cars often expect them to do a shitty job with wiring n placement etc n some dudes are just nervous cuz the car i know a few locations that still wont do pts,volvos,bmw or other high end cars,yes theres more work n parts involved but if the customers owns the vehicle im sure the cost is nuttin to them lol

flashlogic is Made by idatalink. There is a recall on all flashlogic products right now due to software glitches and the new 2012 focus is a very hard car to do yes its a canbus car but you also have can low ms and hs and can high ms and hs that need to be tide correctly or toasty BCM. then you throw the monkey wrench in there making the card standard. Now when remote started it has to see a pulse from the door in order to stay on or it will just shut down. Im a xpress and idata guy adsalca and dball works charm
