Thread: Viper SmartStart Installer in MI

So i was looking into the Viper SmartStart because winter is here, and was wondering if anyone has that installed and willing to share their experience ? Read the reviews online, and they are about half good half bad.

Or do you guys have some other remote start installed? figured that this might be really useful given the michigan weather.

Also any suggestions on reliable installers ? I would rather not have it installed at best buy.

Thanks!

I don't know of any super reputable electronics installers in Michigan.

Smart start is nice, pain in the arse as you cannot install it yourself. Well physically it's cake to install but an authorized dealer has to activate the device. Most I've been to will not activate if they did not install.

I guess i will have to look of one of those that are listed as authorized on their sites... having seconds thoughts about the install now. damn.

but regardless of ViperRemote. Do you guys know any reputable shops around the area? I am located in Ann Arbor. anything within 3hrs drive is doable. heck, ill probably even go to chicago.

thanks guys for the help!

Autowerks in Chicago. That's all that comes to mind.

You could call up Livernois and see who they refer.

thanks bud, may I ask which shop do you go to then ?
Livernois is actually only a 35 mins drive from me, I might hit them up.

I don't let anyone in Michigan touch my vehicles.

Hey, I know I'm new here but there's a few shops in Michigan that do quality work. I think that most of them are just smaller shops and don't turn out a lot of work, so don't get as much exposure as some of the bigger shops.

Not to take anything away from Autowerks, but if you don't want to drive to Chicago, Extreme Car Audio in Grand Rapids does good work.
