Let's see, is adt2 a cheapskate for not wanting to pay $200 to get the remote fixed?

Price for remote new: $700 [Link: powersystemsdirect.com] And we know Wholesale is even lower.
Price for "repair": $200
Percentage price for "repair": $200/$700 = 28.6%

Fins, Kgossen, Cma, I can only hope you get such a good deal next time you take your car in for service.

This sounds like URC doesn't want to repair remotes, so they "gouge" their customers for the entire cost of a new remote, and call it a repair.
