    The remote start has worked great so far. It’s nice that it comes with the key chain remote but they also program the original remote to be able to auto start the car.

    I've had 3 of these Compustar units installed at this point. Never had an issue with any of them. Range is fantastic. Highly recommended.

    First- don’t order online! Don’t order through a staff member who doesn’t install them… it was a down right MESS for me to get everything fixed before even getting the appointment… Go in to the store, and have an installer assist you. No matter what anyone says! With that said, this is a good remote starter. It’s not perfect, there’s no telling if the car turned on or not, and it sometimes requires nothing in its way, but I got this to start the car on winter mornings so it serves its purpose. When at a store, and hitting remote start, sometimes it works and sometimes not. I would recommend whatever the installer suggests, for me it was this one, as they’re the ones that have to fix it if there’s issues, so they’ll suggest what’s going to be less trips back lol.

    Remote starter for daughter

    We bought this remote start for our daughter who is in college. She absolutely loves standing inside our house or campus building to start her car to get it warmed up on cold winter days. On hot sunny days, she enjoys getting into an air conditioned car. Very easy to use and not one issue after several months of use.

    SO FAR NO ISSUES

    I purchased this "Compustar" remote starter and had it installed the following week by a Best Buy technician. So far so good, no problems or issues with this starter yet, but it has only been a weeks. The last one I purchased through Best Buy was about 14 years ago. It was not a "Compustar" Brand it was a "Viper" Brand. They told me (in the store) that they now recommend the Compustar brand because they were having issues with the Viper brand. I told the salesman that I was surprised to hear this because I NEVER had any issues or problems with the Viper (for about 14 years of using it)! I sold that vehicle with the 2 remotes and they still worked for the buyer. I had to purchase this new remote starter for my new car. I only hope this one lasts as long as my last one!!!
