Default Viper 791xv car alarm installed - How much?

Does anyone know of any car alarm installers in Queens which have a good price on the Viper 791xv and installation?

I called Bruckner auto in Queens and they wanted $550 installed!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know how much it should cost but that seems really high to me. I saw someone post an ad on this site for $380 installed!!! what gives?

Any thoughts are much appreciated.

$380 for the alarm AND installation? or $380 for just installation?

if it includes both, then thats not bad at all. But if its just installation, then ..... hmmmm ....

Its for alarm and install. WE work in Philly and help out the Scion guys. We have already done about 6 of them for people and got a few more lined up. This is a price for scion guys not a store price. They go for around $580 at my shop.

I have seen that exact alarm selling for roguhly $500. or more. Thats not including the install... Usually if you buy the alarm and have it installed at the same place they will work something with you to keep it cost effective..

LOL - good info. how long did the install take, btw? were you waiting a while? i haven't done this in the past, but i would assume that if you bring the car there in the morning (that you scheduled the install for), they should be done by...... lunch time? too fast? i dunno.... i just hope it's not like a 10 hour process.... lol...

Im getting mine done 5 hours from now total cost is 420 + tax
I have read the key fob can get damaged pretty easy. Looking for some kind of protective solution for it since i cantr find replacements under a 100 for the remote
