    I bought this for my daughter. We live in Michigan and she is over the moon with how well it works. She loves the choice of getting in a warm car on the way to work. Best present she has gotten in a long time, according to her. Thanks, Best Buy!

    I've had my remote start installed for 2 weeks now and it's the best decision I could've made. It's very helpful on cold mornings. Eric, my technician was excellent at explaining how everything worked. If I had a question, he was just a phone call away. I love the extra security that the device adds to my car and I was able to get my car's original keyfobs programmed instead of the ones that came with the device.

    Best Buy was awesome. Bought two remote starters .They accidentally sent the wrong item which is understandable with the holiday season in full swing. The took care to the mistake and the two people at the Reynoldsburg Ohio store that done the install was awesome. Very professional .Very nice installers. Highly recommend.

    Reliable and easy to use. The Compustar one-way remote start works every time and has great range for daily use. Simple remote, no hassle, and perfect for warming up or cooling down the car. Highly recommend if you want a dependable, no-frills remote start

    I love this remote starter. It is great to be able to start my car while still in the house and be able to get into a nice warm car on these very cold days. I would highly recommend this product. The staff at Best Buy were terrific. They helped me get the right product and the guys that did the installation were great and explained everything.

    **A Disappointing Encounter with Remote Starter Purchase for My 2013 Scion tC** I recently embarked on what I thought would be a straightforward mission—purchasing a remote starter for my 2013 Scion tC. Little did I know, this experience would turn into a nightmare. From the moment I walked into the store, the customer service was lackluster at best. I had to wait an excruciatingly long time just to get someone's attention. When I finally did, the sales representative seemed disinterested and unknowledgeable about the product I wanted. After finally settling on a remote starter, the installation process was even worse. The technician informed me that the Viper brand I initially chose didn't include the app it advertised on the box. Frustrated, I switched to the Compustar system, believing that the app would work seamlessly once installed. However, upon attempting to register the product, I was told I needed another device installed. This meant yet another trip back to the shop, along with additional fees that they aren't responsible for. I forgot to mention in addition to the ridiculously priced remote starter, there is a $100 a yr subscription for the app. It doesn't say that on the box nor do the employees mention that either. This experience was incredibly frustrating and disappointing. I expected better service and quality for such a significant purchase. I would strongly advise others to do thorough research and consider alternative providers before committing to have service done at Best Buy. As far as the product goes it works some issues turning on sometimes aside from that somewhat satisfied.

    Love this car starter! It works as described and I am found to get another one installed on a new car. I think it is worth it to get the upgrade that increases the distance of the remote start and has an app available. This one doesn’t come with that, but it is still worth it and you can always upgrade later. A great choice and I also appreciated how installation was included.
