Q: QuestionWhat does two way mean? and why is it $200 more? What am I getting for this?

Asked 5 years ago by Aromacat.

• A:Answer Two way means the remote will also receive a signal from the car, so you can confirm the car is running by looking at the remote. Be sure to wait for for a sale. This kit is/was on sale for two-hundred-fifty, including installation. It is a solid deal at two-fifty considering it pays for both the kit and installation labor by Best Buy. The regular four-fifty price is outrageous.

Q: QuestionDid anyone else not get a shred of documentation other than the blank installation agreement signed before leaving? I would like to know the serial number of my module at least.

Asked 5 years ago by Ballsnabunch.

• A:Answer I just had mine installed on October 14th, 2020 and I left with the yellow carbon copy installation agreement and the box with manuals the system came in. It’s a quick start guide like that informs me on how to operate the system with the serial number on it.

Q: QuestionI have 2019 Highlander and I just had this unit installed, & i am questioning the Tech was experience. When i got this back he told me i am not able to use my factory keyfob, but i see lots of people are. IS this TRUE? Also he didn't install my hood pin.

Asked 5 years ago by TNMAGIC.

• A:Answer The answer for this question is not true because I bought about 12 of this remote starts for my family and close relatives and no one complained about any issue that they can’t use their factory keys. Everyone happy about this product. Just to let this person that ask this question knows that I would say it depends on how good the technician’s knowledge that do the installation for your car remote start.

Q: QuestionI have a 2004 Toyota Avalon which starts with turn key. After installing this starter, do i need to put the key in after getting into the car to get it going? how does it work with cars with an old fashioned key? Thanks in advance.

Asked 4 years ago by Manny.

• A:Answer Yes, you still need to put the key in, but don’t press the brake before you put it in, otherwise it’s gonna turn off. And only turn your key like two turns not all the way like u used to do it before, because your engine it’s on already. Hope it make sense.

Q: Questionwhen you get in the vehicle do you have to insert your key? How do you shut off your vehicle ?

Asked 4 years ago by dfeola.

• A:Answer The remote starter does just that--it remotely starts the car. Once it is running, you would operate the vehicle as you normally would. The only exception I can think of is that if you don't enter the car within a preset time limit (typically 15 minutes), the car will automatically turn off,

Q: QuestionWill this Remote Start works with the Mobile App(if So Mobile App Name)

Asked 5 years ago by KK.

• A:Answer This module by itself doesn't work with the mobile app right out of the box. The LTE module is the one that works with mobile app 'Drone' but there is a subscription fee which I believe starts from $5 per month but given the good range of this remote I think paying that extra every month is not worth it. Note: The specs of the module show its smartphone capable and if with the addition of a module you will be able to make it mobile compatible. If smartphone compatibility is the main concern Buy Compustar - 2-Way CSX Remote Start System/LTE Module - Black Compustar - 2-Way CSX Remote Start System/LTE Module - it is often on sale.
