I could of course purchase a kit off eBay for ~$500, but I've heard stories of MDM/M-Mode not working correctly afterward, etc etc etc.
Am I stuck just purchasing a conversion for $2,000 from someone like BPM? Or are there better options out there?

I pieced my kit together 7 years ago for about $600 total. I had it coded and everything has been working fine since. A competent coder should be able to code according to your options. The coder will also need to know if you have retrofits installed. In my case, I retrofitted an OEM alarm kit which I notified my coder that added the option.
