Think I would trust the Compustar Pro dealer.  Their Compustar training and Audi experience along with the quality of the Compustar product line and its' lifetime guarantee should provide best "bang for the buck".  As most installers will tell you, a properly installed system will provide trouble free operation for the life of the vehicle.  Typically, the only issues will be batteries for the remotes and mis-treated / abused remotes.

The good thing about them is that they will fix it until it's right and their prices are hard to beat. I would say $200-300 cheaper than the next price I got.

In other words... a if the "F Up" your car its ok because they will eventually get it right? lol. Good logic. In no way shape or form am I razzing on best buy. You may have some good installers there since every location is different. I cannot not judge them as a whole. Also.. just because they are an "authorized Viper dealer" or "Compustar Pro dealer" doesn't mean that they are good... choose wisely sir. Good LuckEric

I'm hoping to avoid the big f-up by asking the right questions and knowing what product to request. I'm willing to take some risk to save money and you guys have been helpful in educating me. I already feel a lot better about going with the ADS AL-CA over the DBALL, in fact, the guys at Besy Buy said they prefer that. One last question, what difference is there between the Idatalink ADS-AL-CA and the Flashlogic FLCAN? I've heard so many good things about ADS. I know someone who has a viper RS system with the FLCAN with my same car and the audi keyfob does unlock the car which is important to me. I don't know if the ADS will allow the audi keyfob to unlock.

FLCAN and ADS-AL-CA Are the exact same thing. Just branded different. Only real difference is the ads comes with a d2d data cable for viper and compustar Where as the flcan only comes with a data cable for prestige

P.s I'm really wanting to jump threw the computer and just do the install myself Lol

Thanks. I just talked with the Compustar PRO dealer that's an hour away and I waiting for a quote. If their price is reasonable, I'll go with them. They have a promo to include the EZGO rfid entry system as part of the package so that'll be nice. Also, their going to install a hidden "pitstop" mode button in the dash so I can activate it without having to use the remotes.
