It's pretty involved. Much more difficult than hooking up a stereo. Better have good wiring diagrams to make it easier.

getting a good wiring diagram for the vehicle, and a good auto start. Make sure to get a few extra relays. I wouldnt personally install one, unless I had proper training. Lots involved, thats why I leave it to the pros.

These things are a pain to install. I work at Circuit City (for now lol), and when we install these things its at least a 3-4 hour task and we tend to know what we are doing. I can't imagin how long it would take if you were doing it for the first time.

I've installed these on numerous cars (used to be an installer for Ford Dealerships) & around here the average cost to have one professional done is about $250 - $350. Trust me if you buy a name brand top of the line off of ebay or someplace else it's worth paying the $100 or so to have someone who knows what they are doing to put up with the headaches.
