Nobody will touch my car. Every shop I go to about adding the remote start in my 545 says they will not touch it. Is something wrong or should I try Atlanta or someplace like that, maybe they are more used to seeing this type of car? I had one guy out here tell me he just unplugged the factory amplifier and when he plugged it back in he fried it and it cost him a grand to get a new one shipped in. :'(

Tony,

I work at Directed (www.directed.com) and I am pretty sure we have helped some dealers do this job. You have to give up your valet key to bypass the immobilizer system. Anyway, PM me and perhaps I can help you find a dealer willing/able to do it...
