The most basic install is about $600. This includes pin switches, remote start and a single 2-way remote. If you want other options, this will drive up the cost. Window modules are often a pain to install, so if you want windows to roll up when arming, or to roll down using the remote, it will usually cost you a fair bit. I was quoted at about $1000 (from no less than 4 shops) for the viper 791 with all 4 windows having both up and down capability. Adding a GPS locator will set you back another $800 or so. =)
