This is an awesome starter. The LTE feature is great. It lets you use your phone from inside buildings. I would’ve gave it five stars, but it only comes with one remote. And there is a learning curve.

I had a pretty basic remote starter before I got this one. It had one button and like a 50ft range. This one blows that one out of the water. As long as I have a cell signal and my car does too, I can start it and monitor it from anywhere. I live in Minnesota so it gets pretty cold and this is such a life saver!! The car stays on for 25 minutes and shuts off after that period so I cant forget about leaving it on too long. I've had it for several winter months now and I do not regret it one bit. A nice plus is that the app monitors the battery power of your car and also tells you the temperature inside it's amazing!

Great remote start kit for my 2016 Toyota Rav4. While it is annoying that the engine stops when I open the door, it's still a great extra feature to have. I would recommend subscribing to Drone Mobile when the subscription goes on sale (happens multiple times a year mainly around holidays). The app makes this a must buy.

You have option for monthly DroneMobile subscription but don’t need to subscribe for remote to work. Starts car from a block away easy with just the remote. The subscription offers a lot more, but unless you have more than one unit with multiple drivers anything more tan the 6.00 or 12.00 a month is way more than you would need. Again great remote but rather pricey. Price was reason for knocking a star off.

Best remote start

It’s been a week so far I am using this.
Fob range- it’s pretty decent.
Drone mobile- it’s good and as they said it’s unlimited and tried to start my car 16 miles away.. worked. But I guess it may not work in areas with poor cellular coverage.
Got installed at Best Buy.. they took almost 4-5 hours to install this (not sure why that long)
With this Best Buy also program my OEM car key fobs to start my car..( problems- with oem keyfob you can only start the car but can’t turn off engine.... moreover oem keyfob’s are designed/programmed in a manner that once your engine is running, oem functionality stops.. that means you can’t open doors or trunks...so don’t complain compustar or any other remote starter, it’s not them)
Other thing.. once you start engine..you just go in car and insert the key and bring it to ON position and you are good to go.. but if you go with this option then when you stop the car take the key out.. engine will still be running... you need to push the break pedal...
Option 2- you start the engine, you sit in car and push the break.. your engine will stop.. now you use your key as you were using it before this system...
Now reason for 4 stars:- 1. you can’t program the run time by your self.. has to take it to authorized dealer or wherever you got it installed.. 2. Run time is 3 min, 15 min, 25 min and one more... wish it could run for 7 or 10 min. 15 min is way too long and 3 min way too short. Or they should have given this option to consumer to choose time.
Now last drone mobile:- so far I love it but it’s monthly paid service with $5.99 for basic and 11.99 for premium (free for 30 days only). And if you don’t want to pay for this, don’t buy this as you are just going to waste money for something you will not use.
They should have provided the option like viper ds4+... in viper ds4+ you can use app for free(very short range because that uses Bluetooth) or they would give one year of free service for DroneMobile just like viper ds4+ with drone provides(first one year free service).
Overall, happy with system but I feel like for dronemobile service viper with drone module is better just because it provide one year for free.

I love this remote starter. Already saved me from having to call a locksmith twice (that I know about) from my wife locking her keys in the car. All she had to do was unlock it from her phone. The one time she had to call me to unlock it because her phone was in the car with the keys. Lol. But this is what makes this product great. Installation could of went smoother. I made an appointment to have installed and took day off work to drive two hours to the Best Buy to be told the tech called in sick and I’d have to reschedule. Which they couldn’t get it in by Xmas so kinda ruined my Xmas surprise to my wife. But product is still awesome!

I Love this product, the range is great and the fact that it comes with an app that gives you plenty more options than the key fob it’s great. Although you do have to pay a subscription for the app after one month of free trail.

This is very nice to have and works well, I would definitely recommend anyone that doesn’t have a remote start to buy this one. Has an app you can install and turn your car on and unlock, lock and open your trunk.

Got this for deal of the day. Module works solidly on a 2017 Impreza. I can use both the fob and the included key to control everything for the car. The range is ridiculous on the included key. I haven't tried the LTE module and the app as of yet, but from the other reviews I've seen it's solid.

My third vehicle to get one of these. I work nights in a hospital and it makes it so much easier to start my truck in the morning by the app as opposed to having to get somewhere where a remote can reach it.
