Hello,

I have a 2004 TL. I already had a remote starter system when I bought the car used. It doesn't work anymore neither does the remote because of damage. I bought a new starter today but the installation price was 250$ which I had no idea the reason.

So I just bought the part for now and am going to wait but I was wondering what you guys paid for installation for a starter system. The guy said its expensive because he would have to remove my old one and bypass but i figured since its already bypassed it would be an easy switch.

Thank you,

Norair

 

If you bought the same brand, model, basically the same brain, just plug and play

 

It isn't the same brand , I couldn't find the same one. For some reason garages or any places haven't seen my brand of starter.

 

what did you originally have in there???? compustar,autostart?? cause to put in another brand is a pain. but if you already have a remote starter that means you have a bypass, no need for another module.

 

I have powerstart.

 

you would be better off paying someone to re-install with either a compustar or an autostart. Those 2 are the most reliable and if you ever decide to upgrade to a better model, all you have to do is plug in the new module and antenna then re-program.
