2000 Bonneville-Clifford 3.5x Installed for 549 including: parking lights,door locks, trunk, and VATS bypass. The window module is 199 extra and proxy sensor is 129. Im kinda new to the car security thing but $877 seems a little much. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.If its any help Im located in central Virginia

seems about average.... remember, good shops aren't cheap and cheap shops aren't good......

I agree, that is alot of money. The window module is ~$69 but is is also labor intensive, that I can somewhat understand, But $129 for a prox sensor, that is a $40 part and has a simple 4 wire connection. I would shop around but it may be the area you live in. Prices are differnt from state to state.

Thanks guys, did some more shopping around and was quoted a price of 589 for a compustar 2w900fmr so i guess thats the norm for the area im in. Does anyone have any opinions on compustar vs. clifford(DEI) ?

both are very good units... it will come down to personal preference between them....... i sell them both and went with the Clifford, but Compu would have been my second choice....

Damn that is alot of money for a proximity sensor. Also a bit pricey for the window module.
