Customer Ratings & Reviews

Does the job very well! I was able to keep the factory remotes as well and use as a remote start. (LOCK button 3x) range is fantastic and I am able to start from the office window with a full parking lot.

Worked great I liked the idea of the spare remote. It is nice to be able to jump into a vehicle that is warmed up already.

Absolutely love this item. It is surely coming in handy with this cold weather. Love the 2way remote that lets you know if the vehicle started or not. Only downfall which isn’t really a downfall is that if you touch the break before putting the key in the ignition the vehicle will shut off. 100% would recommend to anyone. Install was scheduled at time of purchase and did not take long to arrive and be install.

Works good long distances and 2 way notifier you when its on and for how long.

Has good range. Not the best model but at half off on deal of the day in which includes free installation and hardware. You can’t beat that. Easy to use. Only time will tell as far as longevity and reliability

I am so excited to have found this remote start that works great for 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL. I ordered this and made my appt with their geek Squad.It was installed free at Bestbuy! I had read on another review that it can work with the original Key that comes with the Jeep ( and it does! Another bonus), I don’t need to carry around the extra key fob. So far I’m Very happy I made this purchase. It was over $1000 Savings from what the dealership wanted to charge me to add remote start to my Jeep. Way to go… this was definitely a BestBuy!!

Works as advertised and the installation was professional and quick.

I have had this for about a month. I wish I did it sooner. the price was excellent with installation and it is so easy to use. I love that i get confirmation that my vehicle started. 2010 Toyota 4runner

Had some issues with this unit pairing with my factory alarm on my Kia Optima SXL but they finally got it straightened out and all is well. Has great range and the 2 way remote helps when your not in eyesight of vehicle and it notifies you of startup and status of vehicle during remote start. Would recommend but get it on sale, I got mine for $229.

Had to wait a month to get it installed. Installation was pretty quick maybe 1-1.5h. The remote starter works great, even starts when we are inside the mall. Took us a while to figure it out but you can’t use the lock and unlock buttons UNLESS you start up your car first. So it wasn’t locking if your car turned off and etc. Kind of scary because the remote will say you locked the car but you didn’t. Sort of annoying because we still have to use the original remote as well as the remote starter just to unlock/lock the car even though the remote starter has all the buttons

We ended up with this device after purchasing a different brand that was less expensive. When the installer looked at the OP, he advised against it for what we needed and instead advised we get the Compustar. He was correct. Install went very well. The motor starts from inside a concrete building 4 stories up while the car is in the garage on the bottom floor. It has started from inside the elevator. It works great and pleased with everything. The price is a bit of a downside, but the product works well.

Love having this installed in my car. It's so nice to let my car warm on cold mornings without having to go outside and start it myself. Nice having two remotes if needed. Works great. Installation took about 1 1/2 hours.

I had purchased Compustar 2-way remote starter from Best Buy when they had the Black Friday deal for $300 including installation. So far it has been working great without any issues.

Great system at a good price on sale! I use it to warm the car up in the cooler months and defrost the windows.

I can’t give these one star, but can’t give five either. I bought two of these: one for my wife’s early 2000s Camry and mine for a new RAV4 Hybride (Prime). The starter has worked so far on the Camry, and it’s been on there a couple months (we bought these last January but couldn’t get to a mechanic to install until August). However DI NOT PURCHASE these from Best Buy if you own a new Prime RAV4 (2021 and later). Nobody at BBUY nationwide has installed a started on this vehicle apparently. My BBUY mechanic is great guy, did his best but there were no schematics to install this and I didn’t want to be a Guinea pig. The silver lining is that if you do own a Prime, you don’t need one of these to heat your car up. A trick I learned on Reddit from the auto mechanic ar BBUY was if you shut your car off with the heater on, you can start the heater from your remote. Mirabile dictu I forget how. I think you hold one of the buttons for several seconds. But it will start the heat pump heater on your vehicle to warm the cabin. This trick will not work if the temp setting was not on heat. It’ll blow air at whatever temp you left it on. If you shut off the air before extinguishing the engine, then it won’t work too apparently. This workaround only applies to the RAV4 Prime btw. Don’t know if it applies to the Prius Prime.

Bought as a Christmas gift last year for my boyfriend and he absolutely LOVES it! It works great and he has never had any issues with it. He tells people it is his favorite gift he has ever received.

Best auto start EVER! I've never had the luxury of being able to start my car from far away or inside my home, but this delivers with ease. I got this during a flash black friday sale which was such a great deal. SO happy with the purchase and well worth it. I am in a basement apartment and my car turns on every time from inside. So convenient and no issues so far!

I bought the Compustar remote car starter for my daughter who lives in a college dorm. It is a brilliant solution for those who keep a car outside. On flat terrain, it starts the car over a quarter mile. Best Buy installation was quick and flawless.

Had this installed today at the Virginia Beach store, works great so far and I like that it comes with two remotes. Only reason for not giving 5 stars is that I wished I didn’t have to keep my original key fob with me on top of the remote start key fob in order for the vehicle to start/run.

Honestly its a good remote start because my previous remote start didnt work at under ground car park but this works so this item I recommend
