    Had this installed in a 2018 Audi SQ5. The installer had never done an Audi before so I was expecting some issues. First issue is, you MUST have two keys to do the install. You sacrifice one key in the key box for the remote start. Without this, your installer won't proceed. Second issue - you need to take your key AND your new fob with you to drive the car. Maybe mine's not set up right, but I figured that I could leave my Audi key at home and use the remote start fob to start & unlock and drive away - WRONG. That having been said, my installer ended up doing a good job, I can't even tell he was in the vehicle. For the price the remote start is a bargain! As a test I was a block away from my car and it started! WOW!! For me several inconveniences took off a star, but I'll be thankful this winter when it's -20 out.

    Used to have to run out to my car every am to start it up to melt the ice away, but not any more. I live in an apt building, so leaving your keys in you car is a nono. This is so useful, I didn't even think about the fact that I can also use this in the summer if I'm waning to take my dogs with me to the store real quick. They love trips, but this heat here doesn't really allow it. Helps so much with everyday life.

    Had this installed on my car about 2 years ago and it has not failed me yet. The best part about this is that they configured the manufacturers key to have auto start enabled in it too, granted the distance to start the car is lessened but still a major perk. With the actual Compustar key, it has good range

    Performs well enough; there's nothing terrible about it or special about it, it works as advertised. It's a little pricy, but so is everything.

    Installed in 2007 Toyota Corolla LE last year. Still working no issues. My first 2 way Remote starter. I was lucky enough to get it for $250 instead of $500 while it was on sale. I would wait until it goes on sale again lol just keep checking :). Pretty decent distance too. Thanks Best Buy.

    Totally worth it in Chicago weather. The starter has great range and the service tech (Joe, at Geneva, IL location) was awesome with explaining how the starter works once the install was done. They even programmed my factory Car Key to remote start the car as well (albeit at a reduced range) but a nice bonus. Overall very happy with the purchase and the installation crew.

    Excellent excellent excellent... Works great with my 2020 Hyundai Sante Fe. I originally was going to get an install thru the Hyundai dealership. But than I found out they use non-hyundai parts. For the prive this was a better deal. I love the distance in being able to start car. Helps immensely in summer and winter with a toddler in tow.

    Love the 2-way remote

    Purchased this for my 2006 Ford F150. It's the first time I've had this brand and a 2-way remote. I've only had it installed for less than a week, but so far so good. I live in a 4 story building and I can start it from the 4th floor hallway. I really like the 2-way remote letting me know that the truck has started, so I don't have to go look from the balcony across the hall from me. (my old vehicle did not have this feature, but I did have that remote for over 20 years) I am hoping for the same reliability of this remote. Kidany (Dany) was the Best Buy tech who installed my new ComputStar. He is great, I really liked working with him; he's honest and informative. I'm going back in a few weeks to have a backup camera installed. I highly recommend Best Buy and Dany.

    Man, I can't imagine my car without this now lol. I start it up early every day to let my car run for a few minutes, and warm up/cool down as needed. The distance it can start is quite impressive. I've been no where near my car and it's worked. In the store, up in apartments buildings, etc. Really convenient. Wish you could lower the beep from the remote though - it's pretty darn loud. Overall, highly recommended. Best Buy installed it and did a great job. Thanks!

    Works well. Wish we would have purchased & installed earlier as it is such a convenience to have the vehicle warmed up (or cooled down) when we get in it (& at sales prices it is well worth the cost). We were pleasantly surprised to find out that our key fobs will start the vehicle when in range - nice feature and one less set of “keys” to carry by necessity.

    This is my first remote start and I'm so glad I got it! I bought it as an early black friday deal so it was a great price. Not sure if I would buy it at full price. I had it installed for free at my local Best Buy. It has exceeded my expectation! I can start my car from my apartment which is in a brick building on the 3rd floor! Definately a quality product!
