    This is the second one we have purchased, both work great. Bluetooth range through the app is limited and decreases through walls as bluetooth would. Standard fob works fine.

    I had bought an alarm system for my car, had it installed after the guy took a WHOLE shift to get it completed; not know what he was doing. 6 months down the line my car starts to have electrical failures, 2000 bucks later, a week without a car, dealership stating evidence of improper installation of alarm system.. best buy is denying any liability. NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THEM.

    I have purchased these remote statrters before so I know they work. The problem is that when I gave the gift (early Christmas gift), we called and could not get it installed until mid to end February in Leominster, MA. the cold weather will be pretty much over by then. Why do you sell a product when you don't have enough people locally to install them?

    We bought the remote start before Christmas and the soonest it can be installed is the end of February. I am not pleased with having to wait until winter ends to have it installed.

    Returned it after purchase as Viper only gives out their install codes to professional installers and I was doing a self install. Ended up buying a different brand and installed it myself at a much cheaper cost. Other brand was an easy install and great customer support from the manufacturer.

    Hate it. I was told once I start it to pump the brakes for about 2 seconds and when I do the car will be ready to go, but instead it cuts off. I turn it on and have to repeat this cycle 3x before my car stay on. On top of that; with the keys in my hand and no button being pushed, my car cut on by itself when trying to come into work. This cycle was also 3x before the car stayed off. I absolutely hate it.

    I have not been able to experience my product due to no installation time yet! I had to change original schedule due to work obligations and when the appointment was rescheduled, the scheduler screwed up what was being installed and I showed up for the appointment only to be turned away because it is a 2 hour install.
