Q: QuestionDoes this starter have an app for your phone?

Asked 4 years ago by Jess.

• A:Answer Yes. Drone Mobile is the app. It's not that great of an app. Alerted me that the alarm is triggered when the alarm was not. 30 day free trail. I think it can be a great add on to the alarm but issues need to be fixed. Location finder is on point, temperature in vehicle is nice too know( for A/C or heater), battery information, and your able to turn vehicle on by the app. Hope this helps.

Q: QuestionDoes it work on a 2018 Chevy equinox? And can i start the car from an iphone?

Asked 6 years ago by Steph.

• A:Answer Don’t know about compatibility with a specific vehicle, but sure the techs at Best Buy could easily tell you, or the web site for Compustar. That said it’d be pretty shocking if it didn’t work in your Equinox. Assuming it does, yes, absolutely, you can use your iPhone- I do! It’s. Actually pretty cool. It tells you the charge level of your battery, the cabin temp, when your next oil change is due, and more. Pretty cool. It does cost $60 a year to subscribe to that service, with the first month free to try it out. I’m in the trial now. I wasn’t going to pay the subscription, but now that I’m using it, I absolutely will. Whether you do or not, the fact that even the fob (which has a really good range too) will confirm that your car started (or not!) is pretty priceless on a below-zero day. But the greatest thing about being able to use my phone is that i can start my car while I’m checking out at the grocery store or while I’m shaving in the morning. From anywhere there’s a cell signal. On these super cold days I love that I can give it the extra warm up time. Hope that helps!

Asked 2 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Yes it does but you’ll need to have a compustar remote start already in or installed at the same time. This product is just an add on! Personally I’d trade in the caliber for a better car though.
