I dunno - I just watched that sound deadening video (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3635GyE_lE) and it looked pretty legit to me. He doesn't even link to the same sound deadener he talks about in that video - he actually links to Noico sound deadener on Amazon, which I've also used and it worked great - it's been installed for years without any issues whatsoever - even on the roof in my car. It made a dramatic difference in the midbass in my doors and it also got rid of all of the rattles that I had. It may not be the absolute best out there, but it works very well for the cost. I was very happy with it and would recommend it in a heartbeat.
I can understand why you wouldn't be a fan of his "opinions" since you make a living off of selling your own brand of sound deadener and even installing aftermarket remote starters, but I have absolutely no issues with that video he made. Didn't seem like a giant billboard for shitty companies to me. :-)
That all being said, Scotty is a lot like you - he is very opinionated and I certainly don't agree with everything he says. For example, he's constantly saying what a piece of shit Dodge vehicles are, yet they were just awarded as the most reliable American car brand - so go figure (and, of course, I happen to have a Dodge Challenger). :-) I do agree that Dodge/Chrysler had reliability issues long ago, but not so much any more - and Scotty still has that bad taste in his mouth.
I think we've *all* seen crappy aftermarket remote starter installs - and I even avoid any car with an aftermarket remote starter - simply because you have no idea if they were installed properly and a lot of them are pure junk. There are also good ones, but they can still be installed improperly. Like I said, I paid to get an OEM remote starter in my Challenger since it was an option for my car. Generally, I prefer OEM for most stuff, if possible.
What, so now only "professionals" are allowed to make videos about subjects that interest them? C'mon man... He actually used the products he had in his video in his own car and even took before/after readings. Not so sure why you are so against his video - except for what I mentioned above.
Again, just because you don't agree with *everything* someone says doesn't mean that they are "full of shit" on every topic they ever discuss.
Regarding the bolded part above, that is absolutely incorrect. I had the dealer install an OEM remote start in my Challenger - it's the exact same remote start that comes from the factory and the dealership techs actually installed it while I waited. Now if the car model doesn't even have the option for a remote start, then yes, obviously it's not going to be an OEM remote start. :-) But they still may or may not install it themselves.
