Well, since installing remote starters is about 90% of my job working part time while in college currently, I can recommend AstroStart. I have been installing now for about 6 years and I have done about a dozen Hummers. The AstroStart model 4204 is the one with the LCD screen on it and yes it does have great range. I have also installed many other brands, including most of the ones mentioned, and AstroStart by far is the one I would trust 100%. The 2205 model is also a very good page-back model remote starter by AstroStart, but it it has a little less range, no lcd screen, and its costs less. Its the step down from the 4204. I install these on the side when I'm not working part time while going to school full time, so if anybody is up near the Fargo, ND region, I will guarantee the lowest price on any model AstroStart installed!

local guy here installs the same system Astrostart 4204 and well not install anything else. but he wants $600.00 to do it. seems very high to me?

wow, $600 for that starter is very high! All in all, the wiring is EXACTLY like a new Silverado, Escalade, or any other GM product. Typically, those vehicles take me about an hour to complete. They are one of the easiest and fastest vehicles to put remote starters in. The only time consuming part is getting to the wiring. The top of the center console, dash plate, and other misc. parts have to come off first, which can take some time if you are not familiar with the Hummers. For what the remote starter actually costs him, and the bypass module costs him, he is making about a $450 profit, you do the math...haha. If I was to do a Hummer here, knowing what the actual cost of materials and time would be, I would charge right around $350 installed. Normally, for all other vehicle, for the the 4204, I charge an even $300. Considering the Hummer takes about an hour and a half longer to disassemble and reassemble the dash components, thats where the extra $50 comes from for me. $600 seems very steep to me.

Attention anyone that is interested in the Astrostart 4204... Hop on this deal @ $350 installed. It's a great price for an incredible product - if installed properly.

Hey Green6767, does your 4204 come with the clear vinyl plastic remote cover?
