Viper - DS4VB Remote Start System - Installation Included - Black

So far, so good with the Viper DS4 Remote Start System. It works as it should with the viper fob, original Toyota fob (3x lock) and the viper app (while in Bluetooth range). I find that the viper fob works best, especially if a little further away from the car or if there are buildings or objects in the way of the signal. If I can see the car the Toyota fob works well, but if I’m around a corner or inside my apartment, viper fob is most successful. Luckily the viper fob is small and slim so is not annoying or clunky on my key chain. That said, I wish I had the add on for SmartStart so I could stay and access the car from literally anywhere… that’s cool, so I may spend the extra money to add that on because the extra features provide some good value. But overall I’m pleased with the product and would recommend. Installation was included free from Best Buy so the total price all in was not bad compared to other aftermarket options.

I Really like the remote I’ve had one for 10 years in my truck so I bought this one for my girlfriends car I bought the two way remote also and it’s rechargeable now instead of the one I have that takes batteries they said one charge would last three months I can barely get one charge to last a week. The installation at the Peoria store I was not happy with either I had made an appointment and they were almost 2 hours late getting the car in and when I got it back there is a trim piece still off of the car that I had to put back on myself other than that no problems I just got a new truck in May and now I’m hesitant about having one put on there

So yeah, I've had a Viper remote starter on my old Cobalt for years and, no problem! So, when i got another Cobalt to replace my other daily driver, i bought this at Best Buy and had them install it. It took a little longer than they stated, about 3 hours instead of 2 hours. And just so most people know, it probably can't connect with a VPN installed (just turn it off on your phone). And, if you have a dashcam, you DEFINITELY have to disconnect the VPN before trying to connect/view the footage. And, it's the same for most home security cameras! But, this is highly recommended!!! And, you can definitely connect it to your phone for near-start but, you have to turn on the location on your phone and i believe Bluetooth; unfortunately, the person that installed it, didn't tell me that! But, it shows on the front of the box and you can definitely remote start it from your phone, with no subscription or anything else!!! Definitely highly recommended!!!!

Remote start works fine on the key fob. However, it is the app that I have a problem with. The box promises up to 150 feet, but in reality, you need to be right next to the car in order to use the app to start the car, which defeats the purpose of the app. Sometimes, when you are right next to the car, the app doesn't work either. So, this is why it gets 3 stars.

Works like a charm. All functions proper and the feedback lights (2way) on the remote are lit to show vehicle response. Also range is great. Jacob did the install with no problems. Thnx Greg
