A karr alarm only costs 450 dollars so why is he telling you he needs 2000 dollars to enable it. Do they insure the vehicle if it is stolen? Is this system only used by honda? Have you checked to see if any alarm system installers handle this karr system other than honda. I looked around and found out that the 2000 dollar fee is because the alarm comes with the ability to gps track and a 20,000 dollars insurance policy for stolen cars if not recovered if stolen. In other words your paying for the security tracking service and insurance. Www.karrsecurity.com/services.html
