If you bring it to a shop, expect to pay at least $150 from most places, and even more for the add-ons.

my shop does not install customer alarms. to much of a hassle. unless it was a brand we carry. expect to pay more then normal though because its not their alarm.

X2

I only do DEI units...and we charge a little extra to do one that wasn't purchased through us.

Also, we don't warranty squat if it's a customers unit...

At least.

CC sells the Python 881XP (same thing as the Viper 791) for $500 installed.

i would reccomend going to a shop though rather than CC or BB, im not sure how their installs on alarms are there, but at a local shop theyre most likely going to have more experience installing them, we work alarms more than anything now

bb blows balls in metro detroit, and cc wont honor their warranty on my python

i went to best buy the other day lookin at alarms. viper 791 - 509 installed. i told the guy that was a crazy price. he got mad and didnt seem to want to help me after i said that.
