Default Installing Compustar 2-way pager alarm/rem. start?

I just bought a brand new Compustar 2WSS-AS alarm/remote starter/pager on eBay for $355.

Can anyone say if it's a good price?

Also does anyone know how much would a professional install cost? Just want to know what to expect.

If anyone has any experience with this particular system, feedback is appreciated.

Thanks

Ed

Look to pay 200-275 for install.
You got a good price.

Default very nice

Yeah, around $250, my roommate got that one for his rsx. Very nice. He also installed a push button start from an S2000 when he got the alarm installed. It was a nice touch. just something to think about

With the push-button start and remote starter, what do you do with the key? Do you have to insert it to use the stereo or to even drive?

sovero,

You need the key. The alarm just STARTS the car. You cannot drive on the alarm. Not to mention your steering wheel lock will be engaged and make for some difficult manuevering.

Lisnup65 from is300.net mobiletronics forum moderator may sell you a transponder so you don't have to lose a key.

Actually, I was talking about the push-button start mentioned in the earlier post in this thread, but I see the same applies.
