remote Starter Factory VS Aftermarket

[JabM37]

I am picking up a 12' m37x tomorrow and want to get a remote start installed for those cold winter days here in Philly. I was quoted $795 installed from the dealer, but that seems pretty high to me. I wanted to see if anyone had recommendations if that cost is and other options like the plug and play ones that still use the factory remote. Thanks for your help.

If the dealer installs it, will the car start from the Infiniti Key FOB or do you get a separate FOB?

You're right. That is an expensive option at your dealer. However, there are troubles with after market remote starts. Usually, they require you to carry an extra remote or use your mobile phone to start the car. Also, there is the issue of warranty - you could void your warranty with an after market system. Having it done at the dealer might be the best option.
As a side note: My dealer here in Florida has stopped offering the Inifniti remote start (using the existing key fob) and they have also stopped installing after market brand remote start. I was told there were electrical problems caused by OEM and after market systems after time passed. Not sure if that was due to them not knowing how to do it properly, or if it is just an issue with the system itself.

The plug and play option still uses the factory key fob and is only $199 and I can install it myself. My dad has a g37x coupe that has the factory installed remote start and has had no issues with it, but $800 is ridiculous. I will post a link to the plug and play as soon as I have a chance.

I talked to my dealer right after getting my M three months ago and they told me that they no longer do the remote start add on to the factory FOB for the M's because of some problems and the only option is aftermarket

I saw this on you tube it supposed to give you remote start using your factory remote and it's a do it yourself unit plug and play and you can add another device that gives you tracking and control of your car via your cell phone
