Default electric car starter

my buddy at work asked me to install his new electric car starter. you know, the one where you just push a button and it starts up while you stay warm inside the house. he was going to get it professionally installed, but the guy wanted a crazy amount of money to do it. the guy told my friend that b/c his car doesnt have power locks and windows it would be harder to install. so, i told him if i could find out how to do it easier i'd do it for alot cheaper. he has a 98 v6 camaro. so i basically want to know what i have to do to install the kit and about how hard it will be.

I would find a good shop in your area myself. I had the Viper installed in my T/A and paid $400 total.After the install I looked at the wiring diagrams and how it was installed and its not something I would want to screw around with.

you also have to bypass the security since theese have chips in the key. not a big deal you just have to mesure the resistance and put the correct diode in while doing the r. start. this is a really easy one should only take a professional 1-1.5 hrs somone who has never done it your looking 3-5hrs solder everything.

ok, so i told him i'm not gonna do it cause i dont want to be responsible for something if anything happens. i'd do it on my car if i had a little more experience, but i dont want to mess other peoples cars up.

Its not something I would recommend a amature install. To me its one step above alarms.
