Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love the Compustar remote start as a system. I wanted extra functionality that this remote provides, such as seeing the internal temperature of the car and whether or not it's locked, etc. The remote falls short in general ergonomics: the buttons are on the side and they are chrome plated; difficult to see and difficult to press with large fingers. The back-light turns off too quickly to see status on first glance, made worse by the "white on black" LCD configuration which is even hard to see in good lighting. Black on white would have been much better. I almost went with a competing system that had a better looking remote but I don't know if it would have worked any better in practice. It's great that this remote takes a standard AAA battery and overall it works pretty well, but I would have preferred a better user experience for the cost.

The upgrade LCD remote is a plus, as it displays when You lock, unlock, remote start the car, as well as the temperature inside the car. Also gives you beeps and signals when any activation or program has been activated from the remote. Best of all, I can remote start it from about a mile away.

I have had this product for two months and have not regretted buying it. I am able to warm my car early in the morning when the temperatures are well below freezing, allowing me to jump in the car and take off immediately. At the same time, I don’t have to worry about someone stealing my car, because, the car shuts off as soon as the door is opened. I would definitely recommend this product to a friend.

A remote start system is really wonderful for any area with climate extremes (cold or hot). Being able to remote start my car and have it warm (or cool) before I get there is simply wonderful. The two-way Compustar Remote allows that and also lets me know if the car has started, the temperature in the car, and so much more.

This is a wonderful auto start. I love the visuals it gives off and makes my car look more sporty which is what I was looking for. I would recommend buying a screen protector and cutting it to shape to protect it from scratches which is something I wish had been mentioned to me in hindsight. My only issue is when it confirms that it is on. Its beep pattern is to beep 3 times in a row to confirm it has started and then do that 4 times back to back when it has autostarted. Once or twice is fine but someone always mentions it or looks at you weird if you don't cover the speaker because it is that excessive.

My last remote start was a manufactured one where I needed to see my car for it to start. I am loving this one because I can push a button and it lets me know it has started. I can be in the school working and start it from there a few minutes from going out and go to a warm car in the winter.

The remote that comes with the Cimpustar Remote Start System is garbage. I literally had to be next to the car for it to work. I desided to upgrade to this remote, and it’s awesome. Works well from inside the my house and the building where I work. It was easy to install myself, and it only took an hour or so.

Bought two of these for both cars and have been very pleased with performance. Distance has been great and having the LCD remote to verify start up success, always a convenient tool. Had thought about getting the drone model for excess distance start up but extremely happy with the range on this unit. Install team at the Eden Prairie store is FIRST CLASS!!! They went out of their way to make this process easy and timely. Great work guys!!!!

Works great! Lets you know when the vehicle is started and I haven't been inside anywhere that it didnt start it! Love it!

Works great, I can start my truck from inside my office over 3 blocks away in a downtown setting! Confirmation of lock/unlock is wonderful.

Added this to my compustar unit so I could have 2 way confirmation along with better range. This remote will tell you everything from internal vehicle temperature, battery voltage, and even run time. Sweet deal been awaiting the release of this thing for months..

I love that I can see that my car turned on! Incredible range! Definitely recommend this upgrade!!

Compustar - 2 Way LCD Remote Upgrade Kit Is a Great looking remote and does the job well.

This remote (and entire system) is awesome! The effective range is outstanding. The LCD gives me my countdown timer, status, temp, etc. it's great. The vibrate feature is great too. Nice not to have a loud beep every time I start my truck.

Best investment in a long time. Works great. The return information feature is awesome to let you know if your car has started.

I got these to replace the one way remotes and I can say that it was a great purchase. Not too happy about the price but in the long run it was worth it. I love to know if my car is open or locked and that it actually started. Thanks to the install bay helping figure out which one to buy.

This Compustar 2 way is a fine product. I have successfully started my vehicle from well over 1/4 mile. I also feel good in knowing if i accidentally hit the button the product will alert me that my car has started and is running. That is critical knowledge to have. I am happy with this product and feel safe with it.

I bought this for a friend during the holidays and they loved it. the only reason it did not get a 5 is the fact that it killed his battery the first night he used the auto start feature. his lights did not cut off while the car was warming up. also it only unlocks the drivers door. however, some of these are things that can be fixed I believe. we will find out when he takes his car back to have it updated to correct the mishaps.

the remote is nice and has a good range, but the 4 buttons on the side are all very easy to press by accident. they should be recessed a bit into the frame., they are at the same level as the rest of the frame.

I love this remote restarter, no more cold truck when I get off work, no more waiting for it to warm up. The mile range on this remote is outstanding. While everyone else is running out side to get a signal, I can start mine from in the building. I love it.
