Default Yes....... very difficult...as far as electronics goes.

If you've never put one in I wouldn't even think about it. LOTS of stuff to short out in these cars. If you've got a real good grasp on wiring up 5 prong relays you should be OK. Also a lot of installers have issues soldering resistors and diodes in line.....if the immobilizer wires have a cold solder your car will never start, even with the key. I understand your wanting to install it yourself, but this is one of those things you pay a professional to do. Find a good reputable shop. The labor cost is nothing compared to the frustration you will go through. It's like window tint!

Default Where are you located?

And what does the $500. include? Is that just labor or does that include the immobilizer pack and all the extra needed parts. If your doing keyless, trunk pop, window roll up/down, sun roof open/close, turbo timer, mercury tilts, manual bypass, proximity sensor, etc..... each one of these option costs another $25.+ for relays and such. $500 seems high but if that includes everying it's not terrible.

That's assuming he installs it correctly.

Default Remote Start questions

Do these typically replace the need for the factory remote to enable/disable the alarm, or are they additional?
