I bought this bundled with geek squad installation on a deal of the day. I was a little reluctant with having this installed by a non dealership on my new truck. I received item quickly,was able to schedule a quick and convenient appointment despite the holiday season and all went smoothly. Happy with purchase and would recommend.

Bought this as a Christmas gift for my boyfriend, and his has made me want to get one for myself. It's great being able to start the truck on cold mornings or hot days to have the heat or AC running. Also great because we drive his dog everywhere and we can safely leave her in the car in colder or hotter days with the heat or AC running.

First off thanks to my installer Diana for her excellent installs and recommendations.
Alright, the one way remote start works pretty good although my big issue was the one way remote. I could stand 5 feet away from the car and depress the start button for a few seconds and sometimes the vehicle would start other times, nothing.
I realize there can be some bugs between manufacturers, car and remote that was probably causing the issue but I had planned to purchase the 2 way remote all along and when they finally went on sale we had it installed and everything works 100 percent all the time.
If you live in an area where Best Buy doesn’t always carry the 2 way remote starters catch this package on sale and add the 2 way later if you have issues.
I highly recommend this remote starter system.

Excellent device. Not the best but works just fine. There are better ones with 2 way feature which shows you when your car is on. For me it was perfect. I can see my car from the window to know if it's on or not. It was a great price plus the installation was included. Recomended.

Price for this remote starter was very good which included installation. I’ve tried it at various distances, including from my office and the car has started every time. The specs states that it has a range of 1000 feet and it looks like it meets specification.
Glad to have this for this coming winter.

My original Honda key Fob finally broke and the Honda dealership wanted $200 to replace it. Best Buy has this great sell on this unit for $209 with free installation! No brainer on which way I went. Greatest thing I ever did with the remote start. Love it. Works fantastic and the install was flawless.

The Geek squad had this on my car in a couple of hours. The comfort of starting my car on the cold mornings is awesome. The easy of use with the wireless remote is a snap.

I have been using this remote starter for last 20 days with no issues. I am trying to remember to leave the expected temperature settings for the next trip so that my car would be welcoming me with a perfect interior temperature. This item is working as expected and no issues so far.

We have some tough winters here in Wisconsin, so I was looking for a remote start for my vehicle, to get it defrosted by the time I needed to head to work. This remote start didn't disappoint! Nice range and very reliable! Best buys installation team did a wonderful job!

Despite taking about three hours to install, the system works wonderfully. We can unlock/lock our doors at any time. We can even remote start the car on those cold (or hot) days of the season to get things ready. If I had any complaint it would be that once you turn on the remote start, once you get in your car you have to hold the brake down and turn your key two "clicks" to turn off the remote start (turns engine back off) in order to start your car normally. Not a big deal, but kind of silly. If you try to drive with your remote start without doing that step, the engine shuts off after 40 minutes.

This remote starter with two bobs and has a range of 1000 feet. It came with installation and parts all for $200! I could not be any happier.
