the car worked fine, it was the brain that fried. They were dealers for the viper alarm products and still couldn't hook it up properly, with the instructions sitting in my car seat the whole time. I will never go there again.
I understand the pay deal, it just sucks that very few people have a good enough work ethic to do things the right way.
now I do all my own installs, as well as all the installs for my family. Friends don't let friends...go to alarm shops."
