    Works just as easily as explained by friendly staff. Works great and it is wonderful to get into a nice warm car from just a far distance through several buildings after working long shifts. Looking forwars to summer when I can use it to cool the car with the air conditioning in hot weather. This automatic car starter is a great price and can ve used all year. Well worth it!

    I have a 2012 Honda Pilot, and I was considering trading up to have more creature comforts. Instead, I decided to add the remote start which helped achieve the upgrade itch without spending several hundred dollars per month in car payments. The starter works great, and having the drone cellular connection and app has been really useful. This is not normally available on new cars, so this purchase actually exceeded my expectations and helped further justify making the purchase. The drone app does require a monthly fee of about $10 per month, which is a bargain. I spend that much on one of several streaming services which I barely use. I use this several times per day so no brainer to justify the expense. There’s no need to use the included remote pendant. I don’t like it anyway because the beeps are quite loud. It also helps you find your car in a large parking lot and will literally track your movement relative to the car location. Far exceeded the Apple map version which is very limited on accuracy despite it remembering where you car is parked. Best part…. Starting your car several minutes before you get in means a nice temperature in summer or winter. Hands down one of a top three purchase in recent memory over the past several years. I can now keep tbe car as long as it will last.

    Took a month to get it put in, but it was worth the wait the app is amazing. The key fob is amazing. If you don’t want to pay for the app I really wanted to use it for the winter but I think I’ll use it for the summer. I have leather seats so I’m looking for it to be comfortable in the car when I get in, so I’m excited for this purchase and you should be too if you’re going to get it just to be on the lookout for daily deals on it to get it at a discount at the got paid 319 for it free installation

    Got this installed just in time before winter. Though I had to travel 2.5 hours to a different location to get it installed because there are no installers capable of doing this at my store. It was well worth it, as I have used it at least 100 times with no issues. It's especially grrat with the app. The discount was also great. Also, you can't beat the free install.

    Great investment if you live anywhere that has real winters and can easily get below 20 degrees. The range is great on the Compustar and the Drone provides much more flexibility. The only thing that you need to do is make sure you talk with the technician and ask questions to gauge their abilities. The technicians who installed this remote start in my car were knowledgeable and came from dedicated professional shop with years of experience. Not all Best Buy geek squad technicians in every store are equal.

    Was installed recently, and so far absolutely love it. Love the fact that the car will remote start using OEM key w/ built in lock/ unlock on it by pressing the lock 3 times. Registered for free month of drone so can start/ lock/ unlock car from cell phone.

    This Compustar remote starter works very good. It was a great value for the sale price I paid for it. The little remote that comes with it works well and has very good range. The only reason I couldn't give it 5 stars is because of the Drone app. It is very spotty. About half the time it will not connect with the starter, but overall I am very pleased with my purchase.
