    As described. Able to start my vehicle even if I am more than 30 ft away. Good investment especially during the winter to warm up the car and summer to cool the car.

    Highly recommend this remote starter unit. It's easy to use, and the 2-way remote is definitely the way to go. I use it inside the building at work where I'm at least 1/4 mile away from the parked vehicle and the vehicle starts, and I get the 2-way feedback from the remote. I got it at the sale price which makes it even better.

    I’ve had this product for about a 1yr now and never had an issue. Love that I can remote start my car and able to do it from car range too. One small feature I really like is when I unlock my car it unlocks all the doors with one click. My Oem remote takes 2 clicks. One click for the front doors and then another click for the rear doors.

    The remote start works as expected and has a really good range, at the same time the car lock button does not return any sound from the car, if you are used to hearing that to confirm car is locked or find your car in a parking lot, you would have to carry both the key fobs

    This remote start is a great purchase. It is a boon for any old car. Every winter the hard part was to heat the car and clean your windshield. Because of Compustar my old car starts sitting from my couch and as it is 2 way so it gives you confirmation your car is on. And when I go in my car after a few minutes it is ready to go. Just one thing I noticed is that, although it's not a deal breaker, it doesn't start your heater automatically like a new car. Your car is heated though so ready to use the heater. I am happy with this purchase.

    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!

    I bought this Compustar 2-way remote start system for my 2015 Ram 1500. I had it installed by Best Buy. I love it! It has great range and is easy to use. I use it almost every day and it works perfectly.

    This was a great addition to our 2020 RDX. Dealer wanted $750 to add the remote start. Best Buy instal was great, and the ability to start with my standard key-fobmakes this a seamless feature. No more getting into a hot or freezing car.

    Been wanting a review car start since I sold my car that had one last year. Didn't realize how much of miss it until last winter! Was glad to see this on sale with free installation and it fit my Ford Edge. Works better than expected and remote works much further away than any other review start I've seen!

    This CompuStar 4905-S replaces an older CompuStar in our daughter's 2009 Subaru Forester and it works perfectly. The key fob is sturdy and not too big (like the key fob it replaced.) Range is solid and she has no trouble starting her car from inside the house or her school or work. Installation at the Anchorage Best Buy is really what I want to talk about: the installer was so courteous, professional, fast, and extremely helpful with showing us how to sue the new tech. Kudos to this Lone Ranger who was the only tech working in their auto bays that day!

    It's really nice being able to start my car without having to go outside and they 2way notification is nice when I'm not able to hear or see my car to verify that it started, it takes all the guess work out of wondering if it's started or not because the remote makes noise and the lights on it flashes letting me know it's started or locked or unlocked. And the technician that installed it was extremely nice and professional and made sure i didn't have any questions about the remote start before I left. Would give 10 stars if I could and would highly recommend the unit and the best buy instalation technician in Christiansburg va.

    This unit was purchased for my wife's 2017 Chevy Cruze and so far after almost a month, it has been working great and she loves it. Install was quick and courteous as well as informative upon completion. I recommend install services from Best Buy as this wasn't my first install from them. Will happily use them again for future purchases.

    Works great, would have liked it to turn on the front window defrost hi heat hi blower and rear window defroster when cold and snowy. It does turn in the climate control to what ever setting it was on when last turned off. 2-way remote has excellent range. Didn’t realize installation was included in the purchase price, that was a plus!
