Purchased 2 of these units, one for myself and one for my wife. No more having to go outside in the cold to start our vehicles. Lock, unlock, and rear opening hatch features are all functional and nice to have as well. There's also a feature that allows you to leave your vehicle running and locked at a convenience store if you're just running in to grab something (most newer vehicles don't allow you to lock your doors while the vehicle is running) Range is much farther than any factory remote starts, very pleased overall.

Best Buy did an excellent job of installing this unit and it works great. Will start the car from a long distance away. The only hitch is in order to unlock the car you need to hold down the unlock button for 2-3 seconds, release it, then push again. And sometimes you have to push it a 3rd time as the timing has to be right. I have gotten used to it now and don't have any problems but it would be better if you click the button once (Like every other keyless entry unit on the planet) and have the door unlock. I have not found a way to change this so far. Instructions just say to push the button to unlock but the Best Buy tech said it works the way I described here.

Got this starter when Best Buy was doing their one day sale. Installation went on without a hitch. The only issue I have is the unlock button works a little differently than my normal remote. Also, it would be nice if the remote clicker had a function to let you know if the car actually started or not. As it is I click it and have to poke my head out the window to make sure I had the range. Otherwise works perfectly.
