    So I was under the impression that these systems could be installed by yourself but I was wrong. After you install you need to have an authorized shop program the remote start system. Waste of time and money. Was returned.

    Not self installable. Nowhere does it say that you cannot install itself. A viper dealer has to install this item

    The remote will only start my car when I am within 25 to 30 feet away. I also have to really mash on the remote fob as well. It's not very useful for me.

    Was told that installation was free. Car that this was to be installed was recalled and we missed our originally scheduled install time, they list it as service completed. Really?

    Remote range sucks, can barely get 100'. Range with cell phone just as bad only 30'. Not sure if the antenna is in the wrong location or what, but not happy. Box says up to one quarter mile with remote and one hundred feet with your cell phone. Would not recommend it.

    Was told I would have everything i needed to get this on my wife's car. Find out I needed an additional mount. I could not get a straight answer on whether or not installation was free. Did not matter anyways when I did try to set up an appointment for install it was 2 and a half months away. No thanks!
