SmartKey Starter from Midcity Eng

Anyone installed smartkey starter from Midcity Engineering?
My local charge $1000 to start engine from key fob, $1600 can start engine from iPhone, 3 yrs iPhone services cost $200, can go for 1 yr. but cost little more.
Please post feedback,
Thank you

Benzy550....
I have this installed in my 2010 ML550... This thing works great and is probably one of the best remote starters you can get.... I had them add a compustar remote for added range.. Therefore I can use the panic button or the two way compustar remote... The external remote is my choice... it shows an animation and vibrates when the car is started... as well as works from an very very very far distance... therefore the Iphone remote starter would be un-necessary...

If your looking for a recomendation... I would say go for it.
