    Starter works well and has excellent range. Confirmation tones a plus when car starts and when ignition system is engaged.

    Must Have with Remote Start

    If you cannot see your car and it is a good distance away then this is a must have item to compliment your remote starter. The basic key fob is one way - no confirmation you car has started. With this key fob the green light goes on and you know the car is running. Great product and very small for your key chain.

    Sensitive electronic, cheap plastic, pairing issue

    Viper remotes/key fobs are very sensitive. Sometimes they don’t start unless you hit the button exactly right. The plastic loop snapped off and broke since it was defective. We lost the remote due to faulty plastic. I called Viper and the customer service said that wasn’t covered. We had to pay $85 for another one. Couldn’t pair it. Had to go back to Best Buy. Fortunately, the staff had pity on us and paired it for free. Took staff there about 7 times and then it paired. The new remote we bought a “ key skin” on Amazon so the plastic would not break and it gets lost again. The kit only gives one remote. That’s cruddy.

    Before I was using one way remote, that was not good, now I am using this Two way and really I am very happy with this, when I press start button I aware that my car is started or not which is very piece of mind for me, it is more than 100 times batter then one way remot.

    So much better than the one way remote that came with the system. You know when the car starts and that it is running. That’s a big deal when you spend the money to put in the remote start! Didn’t want a huge key fob because I have to carry factory remote with me. This one is nice and small and does the job. Great!!

    Awesome, cleaner look! 1 tap for lock, 2 tap for unlock, hold button for start, even shows a flashing green light every 3 seconds or so to let you know the vehicle is still on!

    I purchased this like 3 years ago and has been amazing. I love good purchases that are worth their money in the long run. I love the simplicity and functionality. I think I only had one issue with it throughout the years. I think it was out of sync or something. It was a simple fix and Best Buy was able to take care of it for me easily. I don't remember exactly but I feel like it was free too. I got a new car and I'm definitely coming back to get another one of these because factory remote start is garbage. I might even get the next tier up with a 3 way.

    I lost my remote starter fob on my car. This remote fob is the one included on my viper unit. Its very easy to pair on mi car and battery last long. It has 1 mile range which is a big plus.

    Works great, I can’t verify the range but seems to work pretty far and I like the 2 way communication so I know for sure that my car started

    Go with the 3 button one. This one seems to have an annoying delay. And you have to press the same button to do everything, not so great.

    We haven’t tested the mile range but will do so. Always starts, the two way communication leaves us confident that the car is running.
