    After a rocky start with the call center but a better experience in person with the installers And the excellent manager customer service... it all made me feel good about the purchase. The actual starter has about a 3 to 5 second delay which is standard for it is and the distance does not penetrate cement walls and medical equipment... but range is good if your home or in a regular office or school. I like the two remote and the little display is nice. With the money on sale by not retail price in my oppinion....

    I recently purchased a used Nissan Altima and gave myself a remote start as an early Christmas present. My wife has a Compustar unit on her Hyundai Elantra GT so I was already familiar with the product. It works as described, locks, unlocks, and starts remotely. No more walking out to a cold car this winter or a hot one next summer. The parking lot where i work is smallish so we park on the street just outside the lot. I start my car from the third floor about half a city block away when I'm getting ready to leave and walk out to a warmed up car. I love it. I had to wait a couple of days for an install slot because they were booked up but when I brought my car in it was done in less than an hour. Don't know how I got along without one on my old car.

    I have been using the CompuStar 1-Way Remote Starter for a month now and I like it very much. Recently I moved and my car does not have a garage any longer. This gadget has alleviated my worries of scraping ice and clean light snow from my car. The only thing is that as soon as I open the door it stops. But by then, the car is warm.

    This is a very good option for aftermarket remote starters. Installation through best buy was great and had no issues on or with my vehicle. Tech was knowledgeable and went through everything with me. Do recommended tho asking for the Installation kit with this one. It is sold separately and you need it.

    Your employees were easy to find, very friendly and helpful. I received a car starter last Christmas and love it. My daughter REALLY wanted a car starter after she realized how great and convenient it is for me (especially in the winter)!! It's a pleasure to shop at Best Buy!!

    Install at Best Buy was great but this does not work with OEM remotes. Remote start works great but not great with OEM lock and unlock. You have to use either OEM remote or COMPUSTAR lock/unlock. If you lock your car doors with the button on the door, compstar will unlock the door but the car alarm will go off.

    Remote Start for Q50

    The remote start is going on its 3rd month. I am dis-satisfied by this item. I have used both the app and the key fob, which work well but both have caused me issues. The key fob, will start the car but sometimes after going through the steps, the alarm is still triggered and my hazard lights will flash until I manually turn them off. The app, well I can be standing 15ft from the car and get an error message, telling me the app failed. When the device works, it is excellent to have but when it doesn't, real pain the butt.

    I love it. I had this installed on my 97 dodge ram 1500 and with the weather being cold, it really comes in handy in the morning. My original key fob broke and I couldn’t lock my doors anymore but with this I am able to lock my doors again! I plan on getting another one for my vw jetta

    Perfect! Geek squad was quick and reliable even when their were technical difficulties at first. My husband is so happy to be able to have a remote start in his standard with our cold winters. It has a pretty decent range so far. We are still testing that out.
