Remote start help

Ok guys i need some help. I want to get a remote start for my 07tl-s auto and im stuck on choices. I found a st800 that has remote and push button start i want but finding someone who can install is hard.
So i think i wanna go with the viper 5902. What will i need for this? I would like to keep my window roll up and down features when pressing lock and unlock. Any help would be great? Local shop quoted me 960 for viper 4202. Seemed very high as i needed 290 dollars in window modules itself. Ive read that some alarms u wont need these modules. Is thia true? Thanks

I have the viper smart start. It uses your smartphone as the remote. It is very convenient.

I have a Clifford 570.4x on my 08. Its basically the same as the viper 5704. You will need 2 window modules to control your windows from the alarm. The DEI 530T modules are about $50-$60 online. I also recommend getting a DB-ALL interface module. You can also add the smartstart module for iphone integration.

I have a DB-ALL and I don't have any issues. The PK-ALL is only a transponder override. The DB-ALL will allow for ease of installation.

See the features here:

If you have never installed a remote start before, I recommend you find a reputable shop. I did my own installation on the TL, but I have installed many remote starters over the years. There's also a pretty good write up in the garage.

If you want to roll up front/rear windows separately, you will need 2 530T modules. If you want to keep the OEM window up/down, then you can use the KP Technologies module to integrate with the Viper.

Ok guys, I finally got my Remote Starter from Best Buy...

Nothing fancy, just the basic Avital 4111 or 4113LX.

One button, and simple.

As with all Acura, we need the bypass transponder, so instead of buying from Best Buy, I got it from Amazon for 60 something bucks.

Since, Best Buy screw up with my appointment, they waived the additional installation fee, and material fee.

So, now my TL-S remotely start without any hiccups...
