TLDR: most cars will have $130-$200 additional, contact local Best Buy for more detail.
While basic install is included (which means installing what comes in the box), most cars these days will require additional costs to get the install complete. The reason for this is the anti-theft that is built into the keys these days mean the car doesn't start without the key in the car. Well since you aren't going to be in the car, since it is a REMOTE start, then an additional piece needs to be installed to allow the car to start. Then depending on the car, there may be additional hardware needed as well. This typically is $130-200 for most cars, typically being in the lower range. Best way to know is to call your local BBY with car information and they will let you know anything additional.
There may be some small additional charges for some vehicles or options you want (ie. $30 to trigger rear defrost), but $100+ for a bypass module is not accurate.

You have to ask yourself, what is your time worth. Also, installing these isn't for the faint of heart.
I installed one in an '03 Subaru. No security key, very basic install. Still took me about 6-7 hours.
The range on this kit is outstanding.
