Ends up the $99 remote in addition to their $150 flat install rate ("we don't charge by the hour but by the job") you need another module for $210 to tie things together. The $99 jumps to $459, I passed.

ya i hate that! I've had car starters installed in 3 previous cars and that is always the case. They advertise $100 but it is NEVER $100. There is ALWAYS some other part that you need that costs twice as much or more. Feels like false advertising to me. I want to know what car can take an advertised $100 starter, a golf cart!?!
