    I had this installed on a C5 Corvette a absolutely love it. I especially like the 2 way communication feature that works flawlessly. The technician also did a great job on the installation. It is so cool to start in from inside a store or a restaurant and watch heads turn when the the engine starts with its aggressive growl. Great upgrade!

    I had this installed in a 2014 F240 with a 6.7 diesel. It has worked flawlessly since it was put in. Truck came with a factory remote, but range was short and blower for heat/ac did not engage. With this remote I have a much longer range, and blower starts immediately. Highly recommend.

    I love this starter. I got it on sale so it was a super good deal. Getting an appointment was a bit of a chore but the installer, Victor, was the best. I had this put on an older Jeep that does not have power door locks or a power trunk release but I love that it tells me when the Jeep is running. The range seems good. I can start my Jeep from the second floor through a window. Worth every penny.

    No purchase has ever made sense until this. I just moved to San Antonio, TX and the summer heat is something else! I am appreciative to sit in a cool car after picking up the kids from school or after running errands. Installation was quick and prompt. My car was equipped with BlueLink and I was willing to pay for the annual subscription of over $200 just to use remote start--but my car didn't have the ability to start remotely. Then a great deal popped up with this. I've never been so happy.

    I absolutely love and I mean love this product. I just moved here a year ago and never thought about getting a remote start system installed until after it snowed a few times and I had to big my car out. About 5-10 minutes before I get off work I would push the button on the remote and the car starts up and starts defrosting the windows and warming up the car. It sure made my job easier by the time I get down to my car. I highly recommend this to everyone who does not have one already installed in their cars, vans or trucks.

    I absolutely love my Compustar 2-way remote for my car! The range is impressive, and having the two-way communication gives me peace of mind knowing my car is secure. The sleek design and user-friendly interface make it a joy to use. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable and efficient remote system.

    The system works perfectly with my Tacoma Truck, but the extra energy requirements were enough to drain my battery within a few days. To be fair, it was a four year old factory battery, and I suspect it was also the bare minimum needed to run whatever accessories were installed on the assembly line. After replacing my battery with a higher capacity unit 2 and a half weeks ago, I've not not had additional issues. Fingers crossed. Note: this seems to go on sale pretty regularly, so I definitely recommend patience and waiting for the sale price.

    I got this for use in a 2018 Hyundai Elantra Value Edition with a push-button start and proximity key. The purchase I made included installation, so I didn't have to worry about the extra expense. Best Buy installed the unit, showed me how to use it, and let me test all of the functions before leaving the shop.

    I bought this as a gift for my son. Free installation at Best Buy was included - not sure if that was a special or if it's always included, but I was pleased that there was not an extra charge for installation. The remote starter is easy to use and my son absolutely loves it.

    Best dang remote starter I have owned in 15 years! I went through about four different remote starters through the years and this one is the best experience to-date. Reliable, love the two way signal and it's simply nice to have a cool car in the summer and warm car in the winter. I have not (for the first time in years) had to take this back to Best Buy and leave the controls and the car there for a day to get it re-adjusted. Nice!
