Yes grasshopper (I liked that OhioMike110), the question was not how much did you pay for a whole bunch of sh*t (good sh*t yes) but if it's a good deal to have it professionaly installed for $425...
Here in Fort Worth I got 2 quotes for an Autoage 750 installed for $620 +/-. When asked to sell the brain over the counter the turd quotes $300 +.. Guess their not to up on supply and demand. Most shops will cut it loose for 10% over cost knowing your going to go somewhere else if they don't try and make somethng.. (BTW ebay for $150)

watch out for the guys that start doing the scare tatics. I hate those places. "Well, all their going to have to do is short out your parking lights and the whole things blows!" "But we wire it different". Puds. You wouldn't buy a car from a guy saying your current car is a death trap right? Right..
ALSO.. Nothing will stop your car from being broken into. A garage with laser beams, guard dogs, and Steven Segal is a good start but even Segal has to eat and sleep.. The alarm is JUST THAT. An ALARM. To alert you to a break in. That's why Lo Jack isn't called an alarm, it's a vehicle recovery system. The majority of alarms all work the same with only cosmetic differences). Your weakest point in that truck is not that (or any) alarm unit but the battery wires. With the large amount of engine space getting in from below and cutting the (+) or (-) cables is not uncommon. Adding a battery backup siren could amount to $30-45 and would help. Unfortunetly it's usually the install that determines the level of protection and not the alarm (with exceptions).
Good luck and think about some sort of battry backup.

In my estimation it is a little steep but then again if the installation is A-one and trouble free then your peace of mind is priceless

ohio mike had a good point about warranty. make sure this guy stands behind the product warranty for you. i deal alot with the 996 model and the lcd remote goes bad alot, so be prepared to replace that remote sooner or later! and there not cheap if you have to purchase one at retail.
