[QUOTE="JamesBondo, post: 8193208, member: 658654"] Well, they got the problem corrected. The issue was that my factory alarm has a "factory disarm with unlock" wire and a "factory disarm without unlock" wire. They tapped into the "with unlock" wire because apparently it's much easier to access. The "without unlock" wire is inside the driver door, which meant they had to run a wire into the door. The guy that helped me yesterday was very cool about it all, but when I went in today, one of the installers was expressing himself verbally as to not being happy about having to run a wire into the door and how it's a lot of work. He basically said they always do cars like mine with the unlock wire, hinting that that's the way it is and I shouldn't complain. I suppose I'll never know if the shop knew the proper way to do it from the get-go and just didn't initially want to, or if they found out after some research and one installer simply was having a bad day. But in any case, it does work properly now. I guess this is common sense, but it's true that no one will ever care about my car as much as me. While it would have been a bit of a learning curve trying to install a system like this myself, and I may have needed to find a couple days where I was sure I wouldn't need my car, it probably would have been better to go that route or just not endeavor to put a remote start on the car at all.
