2007 silverado new body, remote start

[QUOTE=p01110101]that would be the plug, and yes that is how you wire it, it shouldn't mess up the truck DEI's stuff is designed with a whole bunch of fail safe's if you need the manual:

Thanks that is what I was needing to hear.

Yes I know the DEI stuff is very solid, it installed it for years with great results.  I just moved on to a different job a few years back on only do starters for people I know on occasion to make an extra buck or two.  Hopefully I can get this one finished up tomorrow as I have 2 other trucks almost identical to this one I have to get done in the next couple days.  First snow always brings a few out.

Thanks again,

Hello,

I am looking to get a 2-way alarm system with start on my 08 Silverado. I am going with either the Viper or the Clifford. Is this install fairly easy, or can the intall go really bad with a mistake. I was planning to take it into BestBuy, but, many people online have told me that BestBuy's installed don't know what they are doing. I'm just trying to get a feel for how hard this install is. Thanks!

Take it to a proffessional, unless you're comfortable with 12v electronics, mechanically inclined, and love to fiddle with things that blink. Yes. The install is fairly easy. No. I wouldn't trust most retail chain installers. However, I can attest, there are some awesome installers in those chains.

Ok. That sounds good. I am simply trying to get the alarm installed at a professional shop. So far, I have found a shop that seems to know what they are talking about, the price doesn't seem ourageous ($600.00 for a Clifford 50.7 2 way LCD remote w/ start).  Bestbuy can do the Viper 2 way LED remote /start for about $500.00, but like I mentioned, many people have told me that Bestbuy install procedured are usually not followed. The ship that will do the Clifford has not had the alarm I am looking for in stock for a few weeks because of a backorder problem, but I will wait another week and see if we can get that alarm in soon.

Well, there are only two shops that do DEI alarms in my area. One of the shops wants about $900 for the Viper 5901 and the other will do the Clifford 50.7 for $550, but is still out of alarm modules. I talked to the shop that will do the Clifford, and I told him that I can order the alarm online, and he agreed to install it. I am reading about this alarm, and it really does seem like an easy install. I am comfortable with electronics(installed many stereo head units), I am mechanically inclined as well, but I do not know where any of the wires are located on my truck. I am wondering if somebody would be interested in providing me with a detailed, step by step install for a 2008 silverado. I am willing to pay for it, so please let me know if you are. I would prefer it be somebody that has done the 2007-2009 NBS Silverado. I am planning on installing either the Clifford or the Viper with the 1701g bypass module. If you are interested, send me a PM along with your user ID from this forum, and I will provide you my email address. Thanks in advance for your help.

Well,

I received the alarm unit and the bypass module, and I  scheduled an appointment with the installers at Bestbuy. It seems like they know what they are talking about, so I think they will do a good install. I decided not to do my own install, since DEI will not honor the warranty if it is not installed by one of their Authorized installers. Anything I should do before taking the truck in? I know it is a staight forward install, but I just want to make sure they have everything so that I don't have to postpone the install. I've been waiting for this alarm for a long time now. Thanks!
