Anyone Installed Their Own Remote Car Starter

I've been getting quotes from local places, and everyone seems absurdly expensive.

I wanted to reach out and see if any of you guys had bought one and installed it yourself reasonable priced.

Mine is a 2014 with push button. I know it needs the bypass module, but c'mon, all of you can't have spent $650+ to have on installed.

I do like the idea of being able to program the factory key to do it.

I didn't look, because it's absurd we can't do it with the BMW Remote/Connected as is. I can locate, unlock, and ventilate the car, but not start it? Yeah, OK - thanks.

I agree with you 100%. BMW did sort of drop the ball on that part.

I don't mind buying a starter, but quotes in the $600 range is crazy.
