I added this remote to my DS4 I recently installed on my truck. The one mile range is amazing to have for start ups from far away, also the two way paging is great to alert you of alarms from far away. And the fact it has a rechargeable battery just keeps making it better so you don't have to worry about constantly chanaging batteries.

Great product, just wished an instruction guide came with it; had it installed, but it still makes additional noises and beeps while car is in motion and I have no idea what they mean. Unfortunately, when I took it back to Geek Squad Installers, the fob was not making the noises that I hear as I travel the various highways and roads so the technician could not advise what was happening and why the noises were being made. Fob comes purchased brand new in a vacuum packed plastic container without nothing but the fob and identifying info on the back of a piece of paper. Nothing extensive to explain the various noises and beeps the Fob makes...

The remote is very well built, and the built in battery lasts a long time before needing to be recharged. Only downside is the screen backlight Isn’t very bright so seeing things at night is a little difficult. Overall great product but the screen could use some improvements

MY previous fob was some 15 years old and had been dropped, stepped on, and banged around. Of Course time took its toll and I had to replace it. I ordered this item and found it easy to pair and program. I am now locking and unlocking my doors and starting the engine remotely again without setting off the alarm. Additionally, price was reasonable and shipping was fair and quick.

Works Great With my DS4!

I have this paired with my DS4 & it has been awesome! I got a silicone cover on ebay for it for added protection. I like being able to know what the temperature is in my car by pushing Function once then holding Function. If you have arthritis, then this remote might not be for you as it takes a little bit of pressure to push the buttons. If this remote's buttons on the side were bigger, than it would be better. Overall, I use this remote more than the 7857v that I also have paired to my DS4.

I purchased this remote to control my new remote start viper alarm. The installer PJ said this was a highly sophisticated remote and that it could almost reprogram the whole alarm. I like the fact that it lets you know when the vehicle starts or not if your distance is to far.

Feels more solid than the previous generstion 2 way pagers. If you have an older model (5706), you just need to change the antenna!

Item as described- locks/unlocks doors and opens trunk, remote start my ds4 system and the digital display tells you what’s going (purchased separately by the way— for the price, I wish this exact key fob came with it instead of some 1 extremely basic remote). You can add minutes to the remote started car without restarting again if you need more than 15minutes to get there. Overall, the features I was looking for made it worth the one time expense!

This is the best key-chain remote start I've ever had! The 2-way system let's me see if my truck has remote started, how much run time is left, whether the alarm is on, etc. It's a great upgrade for my 1997 F250

This Viper remote start is fabulous. My car is parked about 100 yards away and it starts right up. I will even start in the downtown parking garage and I'm in the adjoining building. The techs installed everything - those techs are super smart and know what they are doing. Thanks, Best Buy!
