Default MASTER LuxLink Installer Thread

With the LuxLink back in stock, it would be good to develop a master thread of people's experience with various installers -- good job, bad job, cost, etc.

I plan on getting the LuxLink soon and would like to have someone with experience and good reviews do the install. Personally, I'd be willing to make an overnight road trip rather than just let some shop with no experience do it.

So, if you've had the LuxLink professionally installed, please indicate:

1. Installer/company name
2. Location (city. state)
3. Cost
4. Results (good job, bad job, any problems)
5. Other comments, INCLUDING whether there are any "gremlins" with your use of the LuxLink

Thanks -- seems like there's a lot of interest in the LuxLink package and it would be great if people would take a few minutes to help out by relating their install experience.

sc430blue where in md? could this be a mini meet on the east coast? lol i just picked up a 02 blue sc from lindsay lexus a few months ago. i had a 03 silver but it got stolen in philly at a outdoor parking lot! i'm like dumb and dumber when it comes to installing anything except light bulbs, so it would be more like me handing you a case of whatever and a check for helping me install it! lol

I live in Annapolis, I usually just take the turnpike to 301 south. I'm right down by the MD Bay bridge. PM me with your phone number and I'd be glad to do it.

These guys, in framingham mass, do it: http://www.xtremeperf.com

it doesn't say so on their web site, but I read about it in another forum:
http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums...5&#entry204765

note fwiw that they reportedly recommend using another aftermarket auto-starter, which also does a remote windows-down. it's in the thread

I just ordered mine from Steve and plan on installing it while up in NY for a while. I'm not trying to pay $300 for install. Any NY SC owners achieved this yet?

I understand there is a little soldering involved and I never took that class in High School. Otherwise I'd give it a shot.

key requirement? i remember reading something about the flat key, which thank god i have, but what exactly do you need it for? i'm assuming it has something to do with the auto start, which i doubt i will ever use.
