    The remote start works good, just doesn't work with distance or any obstructions in the direct path of the vehicle. I recommend the compustar. I went with this one due to my vehicle, viper was the only maker that had a harness for my car. But spend the extra money and get compustar

    Gave this as a gift to my son and it works amaZing! I was concerned since he had an older vehicle, without a key fob or self locking doors, and it still works great!

    I love this remote start. I can start it from my phone, track my cars location, see when the engine was started. You can get different key fabs to start it. It’s a great product.

    I like this but wish the Bluetooth connection would work without me having standing next to the car but the remote works fine when it was installed I ended up getting the better remote than what it cause with because that one wouldn’t shut the car off when the installer was showing me how it works

    The only issue I have with this product is the inability to install firmware updates as a consumer. The instructions state to visit directedtech.com and download the updates. However, in order to do so you need to be an authorized Directed Dealer (i.e. Geek Squad, Car dealership, etc.) Make it more consumer-friendly. Sure a lot of us may not know how to install it, but some of us do.

    Fits just fine in my SUV website said it was a no go but the techs said it would work and so did the site that the geek squad uses. Doesn't always fire up the engine but I blame walls and electronic interference for that. I might upgrade to a 2 way remote but that's a little while later.
