    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.

    This remote starter is awesome, it comes with 2 remotes, 1 two way remote and 1 one way remote. It was installed by best buy and they did great. I love getting in a warm car in winter or a cool car in the summer. Catch it on sale with free install. Great value!

    Best Auto Starter for Price

    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

    We have this system for our '18 VW Passat R-Line. Unfortunately you did need to sacrifice a key for the remote start but aside from that there is no other bad news. This remote start system is perfect and the guys at BestBuy did a fantastic install job - I can't tell aside from the very small antenna on the windshield. We also paired this with the Drone LTE attachment for remote operations from your phone - it's also amazing.

    This remote starter range is awesome and I like how it tells me if it has started. Having one with an LCD screen is cool but I'm content with what this starter have to offer. User friendly, but I just don't like how loud it beeps. Guess I'll get use to it. I purchased it on sale plus free installation so no complaints on the price

    Jim(Salinas,CA), my Install specialist, was AWESOME, he was super polite and professional. We had an issue with my install, but he was able to figure something out. Even with all my questions and concerns he was genuinely wanting to figure out a solution, which he did. The remote start is great and easy to use, install was a few hours and I’m very happy with product and experience.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I've had autostart on my nissan rogue 2015 for almost a year now. It works exactly as it should. I can easily turn my car on from my building to the opposite side of the parking lot. Receiving feedback to know that it worked is an ease of mind kind of thing. It was the best present I got myself and my aging car. As an added: Best Buy staff made the decision really easy and were knowledgeable about what I needed.
