Go to a Best Buy, Insall is included with price of alarm, and lifetime warranty on labor. Make sure you get a backup battery, a hood pin, trunk pin, and I would onsider a fuel pump shut off toggle switch hidden somewhere. What year car?

Check out Car Audio Depot in San Leandro/Hayward on E14th/Mission see the owner Big Jon! They do good work with good prices can fit any budget!

I can tell you the Best Buys out here in Fairfield and Vacaville are legit. I know several Installers at both shops. 2000 Mustang is pretty straight forward, I have done like 20 of these cars myself. Any shop that has a problem with that car, is garbage. Good thing about Best Buy is they are not going anywhere, custom shops cgarge more, and seem to be going out of business left and right. Plus the custom shops are not going to give a lifetime warranty.

Go to either Fairfield or Vacaville, if it was the hispanic guy named Miguel who did your alarm in Vallejo he no longer works there. I trained him, and he left the company.

And I would not consider smart start unless you purchase a second standard type remote to go along with it. I have smart start in my truck, and DEI's cell network has problems atleast 1 time a week.
