    It's a great idea, very helpful either for winter or summer time. I like the two way confirmation let you know that the engine is running, Reasonable price and good range too.

    Very good range, but it's a little hesitant. It doesn't open right away

    This remote start works very well. The only thing that I think that could be better by adding is maybe an auto lock feature, that would lock the doors when you start it, in case you didn't have your doors locked. Not a real big deal since you can't drive the car until you insert key. Another small thing, is there is an antenna thing installed on the upper driver side corner of the windshield. Again, not a huge problem, just didn't know there would be something like that installed on the windshield. Had this installed on a 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan. Works well.

    I got it installed on my 2014 toyota corolla this past weekend. I bought this compustar with the installation package and so there was no surprise fee during installation. Geek squad installed it in about 2 hours. The product includes a two way remote and a one way remote. The two way remote is really helpful to know if the car started. It definitely will save a lot of time during the winter season. Has been working well for the past week I have owned it. For those buying it with the installation package, I recommend calling geek squad ahead to check compatibility and additional fee if any.

    I bought this for my wife's 2016 PTS Hybrid Hyundai Sonata. Range is very good, and the two way communication is a nice feature. I got the one-way version for my 2013 Toyota Rav 4, and this is one definitely better. The range is noticeably greater. and again, the 2-way communication is nice. Installation by Geek Squad was great. Very professional 3 hours, as they estimated.

    This remote start is very nice. Works from a very long distance. Seem to always work and hasn't had any hiccups. The only thing I can say in a negative light is that the button functions are slow. When pushing the buttons you have to give them a few seconds to work. They don't work at lightning speed. Besides that this is a very nice unit for the money!!!

    This starter gave me extra features as my car did not come with a key fob and now I can remotely lock and unlock my doors as well as start the car. I like the 2 way feature that confirms the command was completed. Install was quickly and professionally handled.

    Seems to work great so far. I have had it installed for a few weeks now. I had a viper unit on my old car and picked this up for the new one. The price was nearly halved for compustar so I thought it was worth a try. So far, no complaints!

    It works just fine. Remote start works for 3600 feet but considering objects like walls the distance reduces drastically. I wish there is on/off button to avoid starting car when keys are in pocket

    A remote starter become a necessity in the winter. Did research of different brands and decided on this one. Excellent and affordable remote starter with the installation included. The two-way feature is great to have alerting one to the vehicle starting. Going with the two-way feature also increases the coverage over which the remote starter works. The feature where the engine shuts off if the car keys aren't engaged is great to have. The installation process was also smooth and timely. Very polite and professional service.
