Customer Ratings & Reviews

Patience pays off. First when I went to get it installed at Bestbuy the first day, they couldn’t figure it out how to get it to work and after 6 and a half hour, the technician suggested that they will do a refund to me. Somehow I knew that the remote start module should work with my 2016 Mazda 3 because I’ve done some research and watch videos on YouTube. Rescheduled my appointment and told them to get another replacement and they figured it out the next visit. It’s been working like a charm. The remote start FOB truly can cover a LONG distance. My original key FOB works as a remote auto start too. Really happy with the item.

I was looking for an auto starter on my 2022 audi q7. Research between this and compustar and ultimately decided to spend a little more for this unit. Idata has 2 - two way remote with a 6000 feet range. You can also use your factory oem key fob to start. Compustar CS4905S-KIT has 1 - two way and 1 - one way with a range of 3000 feet Bestbuy installer knew what he was doing and was very professional with the install.

These are great quality and I really like the two way remote to confirm my car has started! You do have to have two car keys with chips in them for this to be programmed

Very Cool remote starter, also has super long range remote. It's amazing how far i can start my car, 2-way confirmation is a plus. This Starter paired with my push button Start Acura TLX Aspec allows for take over mode, which is a plus. I also got Drone mobile with this Starter for unlimited range. Factory key-Fob also can now start my car. Geek Squad Installer was very professional and knowledgeable about the products installed in my vehicle. Installation took a little longer than expected, but the wait was worth it. Winter time is now comfortable with remote start. All cars should have remote start feature.

This is a very efficient product. It was installed by bestbuy auto tech, get an appointment took forever but the guys working on it and making the installation were always very helpful and polite. The product is ideal in too cold cities or too warm cities to turn on the car from the distance. I have tried for only a month since the installation but I am very happy with my purchase. It comes with two sets.

I’ve had two big issues with this remote start in my 2011 GMC 2500. First, the system started malfunctioning and initiated the startup sequence on its own—the truck actually started itself about half a dozen times. Then, while I was driving, it would start beeping and flashing all the lights (including the headlights) like it was trying to go through the startup process while I was already on the road. Kind of problem at night when you're trying to get home and everyone thinks your flashing your light at them. I unhooked the truck batteries that night just to keep it from starting in the driveway. I replaced the remote battery and the issues luckily went away, but it feels like pure dumb luck. A dying remote battery shouldn't cause a truck to start itself; that’s just not normal. We'll see what happens when this battery starts to die. The second issue is durability. I’ve had this for a year and all the writing has already rubbed off the buttons. I know the layout, so I can still use it, but you’d definitely expect the labels to last longer than a year. Other than that, the range is good and I've only replaced the battery one time, so the battery life actually seems pretty good. However, due to issues I've experience, I would not recommend this item, especially given the higher price point.

This unit is amazing. Works over a mile away (6000ft) and has great features to transfer the key in and out if I want to pickup the remote session or leave a remote session to run into a store, etc. Best Buy install was amazing and comes with a lifetime warranty on the install.

It works very well. The reason why I gave four stars is because I thought it could to be downloaded on a cell phone app. I must of read it wrong cause it is unable to start from a phone app, it still works good

We have had no problems with this unit. I love the two communication that verifies the car started. I loved this product so much, I had it installed in my truck. Now, I am going to have this same product installed in another vehicle.

I loved it, I just press the button and I don't have to be cold in the winter.

Has an amazing range as described. Been working well for a year and a half. Used inside of a relatively large warehouse, worked from the other side through thick walls.

Awesome. Wife was missing one thing from her new car. This delivered the final thing necessary. Pretty sure this gift saved my life.

Installation included! Professionally done & explained all functions when Installation was completed.

Good product. Easy to use and well worth the money.

I absolutely love this product. Does exactly what it’s supposed to do and the reach is unbelievable (6000ft). So glad I made this purchase especially for these cold nights we’ve been having!!!

The distance on the remote is great! Very reliable. Only thing is I wish it had a screen on the remote for the price that I’m paying

Not as customizable as the instruction manual describes, Best Buy techs weren't able to set up some of the features that were supposed to be working. I-datastart support email was even more unhelpful. Not really worth $600 at full price to get features that don't work, but it goes on sale for $300 pretty often if you just want to start your car.

The starter works well. Money well spent. The confirmation that the car has started is a useful feature.

Works great no more running outnon freezing days. Six thousand feet of range tried it and it true. Wish they had one for my Jaguar

everything seems to be going beautifully with a C with us, although only installed for about a month now.
