    Do not buy for manual shift car. Even though they say it will work, it requires you to shut your car off a certain way and doesn’t always even always work if you do. It was also a HUGE pain to get installed

    Viper a good product had it several times. Can’t believe this products comes with the cheapest remote. It’s garbage! Had to spend another $100 for a decent remote. Not worth the price.

    I cannot get a hold of anyone to set up the installation service. I was on hold for over an hour when someone finally answered and told me I need to come into the store (45 minutes away) just to set up an appointment.

    Viper one way remote starter

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The one way remote starter from viper is very simple to use. 100% worth the price. You can simple start the car on , you can also turn it off as a safety measure. It also has a timer to turn off if it runs for too long without the ignition key. Shuts off as well with the stop pedal without the ignition and some models also has a safety pin in case the hood is open. I have used this model for several years and never had any issues , fully recommended

    Ordered this for home delivery. Got it just fine. All went downhill from here. Called geek squad twice to schedule the install and left messages each time. No call back. Have a $300 paperweight that I will be returning. Thanks for a brutal customer experience

    Did not like the remote button used to start the car. Very hard to use. Wound up having it taken out and replaced with the Compustar.

    We waited for product to be shipped to find out we need another key which costs over $300 from the dealer. Until we get the key it’s a waste of money sitting in a box.
