And… where can I get one installed? In reality, all I need is this thing to lock and unlock my car, but I guess if I’m going to put something in, I minus whale put something that doesn’t suck my left nut, right? ---

I’m a bigger fan of DEI products. Compustar has been up and down in quality over the years. ---

I have an older Compustar system. The original installer (which I wont mention) completely did a hack job on the install. I went to Stereo advantage to have them redo the wiring 4 years ago and not a problem since. The hardware has a lifetime guarantee, except the remotes, which I’ve had to replace 4 times now since 2005. The first time was under warranty, the second time was a refurb, the third time the refurb one died so i got that replaced for free and then the 4th time the refurb died but was out of warranty. I just bought a new one for $100 which has a year warranty I believe. All in all the system works and has saved my ass on three occasions when my car was parked. The remotes are shit, mostly because of quality. They have a top notch customer service department which I have on speed dial because of the remote issues. Hope this helps.
