Replying to: InBloom (Dec 02, 2008 8:26 am) The so-called "factory installed" is actually installed at the port of entry by a bunch of workers who do many of the same accessories repetitively. When it is installed by the dealer, it is no different from you install it yourself. i.e. follow the instructions that comes with the package step by step. They may have more tools than we do, and probably slightly more experienced.   Factory does not install add-on accessories so that the production line can be smooth. (factory does options/packages).
#25 of 27 Remote Start Cost by skr2 Dec 18, 2008 (5:15 am)
I own a 2008 GT CX-9 and was wondering how much it would cost to get a Remote Start System installed by the dealer. I was talking to my dealer informally and he mentioned: 1) I would not get the remote start installed as it involves taking the panels off and their mechanics were not comfortable with the install, the best way would be to purchase the vehicle with remote start installed in the first place 2) it would be expensive - close to $800   Any comments on how much you had to pay to get it installed by the dealer?

Dealer said the kit itself was $300 and then approx 3 1/2 hours of labor at something like $140/hr (I live in the Chicagoland area). I was able to negotiate total cost of kit and labor at $600 excluding tax. Replies to this message: howardru (Aug 13, 2009 3:04 am)

Replying to: mamkennedy (Aug 13, 2009 2:49 am) $600 sounds about right at the dealer. That's what I paid last month on our new CX-7 to have it installed.   Just make sure they use the Mazda CX-9 Remote Starter and not any other Ford or aftermarket. You may lose some locking/remote functionality if the wrong model is installed.   Also, make sure your car has the TSB applied for the electrical problem with the remote car starter applied. Otherwise you'll burn out your ignition if you car falls into the serial# list. Only the dealer can perform this TSB so you might as well have them do the remote install.   http://www.finishlineperformance.com/pdf/cx-9/bulletin/01-046-08-1963.pdf
