I thought they did or atleast have the ability to program the BCM or etc. I called the car lot and spoke to the parts/service manager and he needed my vin. Apparently some years/VINs aren't capable of the OEM system. Thats why i looked into the aftermarket stuff.

The installer did mention viper. I know they are a bit higher priced but he said he would only charge me what he quoted me for the Avital. I just require some certain features. 1. remote start 2. Two-way remote so i know it started. My office is in a casino and has NO windows so i can't look outside to see if it started.

Has anyone installed a viper system on a Grand Prix? Any issues? Has anyone even heard of the dash gauges going nuts with an aftermarket system?
