Any input? Need one for a '03 CTS. Would like a simple remote that is similiar to OEM, no cheesy gimmicks. Would also like to retain current OEM alarm. Don’t want a shock sensor, or a another siren/horn. Also need a good installer that won’t hack the wiring. ---

I went to rainbow as suggested from a lot of people on here. did an okay job i guess. mildly hacked… lol. but you kind of have to hack it up a little… so that’s excusable. maybe they just didnt care because it was an older car, i don’t know. ---

i would also say rainbow…but if you call 3 times and speak to 3 different people, you will get 3 different prices. anywhere from $160 to $225. I would suggest asking for Paul if you call. ---

Call rainbow if you want a shop to do it. ask for pauly and mention you are on the speed. 877-3878 PM BDR5oh if you want it done a lil cheaper. FYI BDR50h is back working at rainbow 2 or 3 times a week. ---
