Looking at the CAN-SL2 for a 2008 jetta....it's still gonna need an addtitional module to do the transponder bypass correct?
The idatalink ADS-AL-CA does do transponder bypass but a key has to be left in the vehicle. Does anybody know of a bypass that does not require a key to be left in the vehicle. The customer would like to avoid that if at all possible.
I know this car is going to be tricky, but i'm always up for a challenge, and coming out on top is always gratifying. Curious....what would you guys charge to install a viper 5901 in this car if it were in your shop and he bought his own bypass?

...half of the truth can be worse than a lie. <----Roger Russell said that..
No one makes a no-key-required module that I've seen. If he wants to buy a European car, he'll have to also be willing to pay to get another key made.
You can explain to him that you can grind/cut the shaft of the key, so even if a thief finds it under the dash he can't use it to start the car.....that might make the customer feel more comfortable.
Those cars consume quite a bit of extra time to do, as well as you'll probably want the CAN-SL2 to make the locks easier, as well as a key-in-the-box module for bypass.
$400-450 for basic remote start/keyless/trunk isn't unheard of........I don't know, maybe $600 or so for a basic install on that Viper combo? Maybe even $650?
I would call a few other local shops in your area, and ask them for prices. I'll bet most/many will be afraid to touch it, or will quote really high prices.
