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
