    At first a sales associate sold me a unit that wouldn’t even start my Jeep. Not only that it wasn’t even compatible. I arrived back at Best Buy realizing it’s the holiday season I held back my frustration. Spoke to the manager and told him my dilemma. He sent me back to the install garage. After speaking with the installation team and they explained the pros. I was sold! The team was extremely knowledgeable on all the products and what would work best for my situation. It would be great if more businesses had employees like this.

    This is a lifesaver now in the winter months. The only drawback is I have to restart my car because it cuts off when the door is opened. I am told this is a Toyota programming thing.

    Best Remote Starter Best Buy Carries

    By far the best remote starter on the market today. Do your research and/or talk to a technician (not a salesperson) before you buy this or ANY other remote start. -If your car is a manual, this will not work. -All installs require a harness that this unit does NOT come with. These harnesses are vehicle specific. -If your vehicle is European, there's a good chance this will not work or will require additional parts. It's not the fault of the unit, it's the fault of your vehicle and how it was designed. -If you're giving this as a present or want it installed asap, talk to an installer first. Many stores are booked months in advance during the holiday season.

    Bought the coffee star remote start for my wife’s car and I also got the upgrade to the DroneMobile, which comes with three button remotes. They were great and it’s nice using your phone or your smart watch to start your car.

    A must have for cold states.

    Works great. This is a must have if you live in cold states. Just put your heater on high and turn your car off. The next morning remote start the car, while your getting ready to go out the car will heat itself up for 15 minutes. When you do get into you car it will be nice and warm with ice or snow partially if not completely melted. This trick will also work if your in a hot state, just set your car's air conditioner for cool.

    This came with bestbuy installation. I was apparently to book the installation when i purchased, but they made it work when I called them to install. Its been a great addition especially when the frost hit!

    Remote start is great for warm car and defrosted windows in the winter and cooler in the summer. Simple to use. Bought one for my wife's van and then bought another one for my car. I definitely would recommend to others.

    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 love the remote starter. So easy to use. The young man in the service department that installed it was so professional and nice. He made sure we were comfortable using the fob.

    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....

    Bought this on sale back before Christmas. Had to wait a bit for an install date as it was peak time right around the holidays. But super happy to be able to get the car warm on these winter mornings. I leave for work well before sunrise and not having to go outside and physically start the car and/or worry about it being stolen was well worth the money.

    Purchased from Best Buy because I have previous good experiences with remote starters and laptops. Compustar is a basic starter, but, it works. Car starts, stops, locks, and unlocks when you push the buttons. In my experience they are a reliable device. I am very pleased with the product and service.
