Purchased for my daughter’s 2019 Mazda CX9. This has worked awesome. She is a nurse and works in a hospital with a parking garage that is roughly 2000 ft away. She’s stood at the window of the hospital and hit the remote start and it worked from that long distance. Came out to a warm car when it was 7 degrees outside. The great thing about this 2 way unit it the way it beeps back at you letting you know the car was started. She said this was the best gift she’s had in a long time! Also saved a few hundred over what the dealer wanted to charge and it would t come close to the distance this system does.

1. Car is worm/cool prior to entry. 2. Engine oil has cycled prior to entry 3. The vehicle is secure from theft. 4. The installer was an absolute pro because I haven't had any battery issues, as some others have mentioned in reviews prior to my installation. 5. The price was EXCELLENT for what this system does for me.I wish I had done it so much sooner!!!

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.

Even for my fairly basic car, a Nissan Versa Note, adding a remote start turns it into a luxury car! It is warm when the weather is cold and vice-versa. 2-way system ensures that the signal was received and that it really is warmed up when you get there. This product adds value to your vehicle no matter what kind it is. Best Buy Service Techs make this product just work as it is intended. Do NOT try installing yourself - it takes professional installation.

Works great. Remote start is great for the winter. Free install. Cheapest way to get two keep fobs. highly recommend. just don't let your battery die or else you might have to have the item reprogrammed

An excellent remote starter , and the installers at best buy were very professional and did an awesome work. I purchased this remote specifically for its long range and it works perfectly. I got this for an amazing deal.

I bought this on sale. You can save it to your favorites, set up notifications and wait for the sale price, which usually last for one day to purchase. I got it at a really good price point. You will have to buy the harness seperately. The installation is free, when you go to your cart, make sure to select installation and time and date. Installation can take from 2-3 hours. You will have to look for a best buy store near you, when you order it online of where it can be installed. The product itselt if super easy to use, it comes with two remotes, the silver buttton remote has more range, then the all black. So far it starts up really good and stays on for about 20 minutes. You can have best buy change the amount of time you would like the car to stay idling to a longer or shorter time frame too. If your car model has the luxury features, you can ask best buy to use the trunk opener button to either open the trunk automatically or open your windows automatically. It is not a guarantee that it can be installed, base on the model of your car. It does not hurt to ask. Overall very happy with the product.

I recently purchased the Compustar 2-Way Remote Start System with installation included for my 2012 Honda CR-V, and the entire experience has been seamless. Booking the installation appointment was quick and hassle-free, and the Geek Squad team did an excellent job with the setup. The product itself works flawlessly—starting my car remotely has been a game-changer during the cold Midwest mornings. The 3000-foot range is impressive, and having two remotes included is a great bonus. One of the standout aspects was Best Buy’s price match guarantee. After my purchase, I found a better price within BestBuy, and Best Buy promptly honored it, making the deal even sweeter. Overall, I’m thoroughly impressed with both the product and the service. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a reliable remote start system!

This has been a great addition to my car! Being able to start it from long distance is really helpful! The remote start process isn't too long to get it installed and after they're done you're ready for use! I wasn't a big fan of this buzzing sound when it's running off of the remote start or that the light are always on while it's on. I'm not sure what it is or why it does it but works just fine. Prefect for when you need the AC or heater running while you get ready. Includes a valet mode so that you can go leave your car with someone and they won't use it more than what is intended for.

Great product. Very convenience and helpful especially during the winter. Very long range remote starter. Start the car ahead of time and warm.

This product came on sale for $269 one day and I decided to give it a try. The installation was done in Tinley Park and it was an excellent installer, very knowledgeable and thorough. The two way remote works from a far range and chirps at you to let you know the car is started, unlocked, locked, trunk open etc. The Compustar system even has a feature that allows you to keep the car running after starting it with your key, I love this. It perfect for a store run in or quick drop off etc. I don’t really use my car key fob anymore because of how well this system works. I really wished the system came with 2 two way remotes tho. It comes with only one and 1 one way remote. The range is rated for 3,000 ft, but I would say 1,000 ft is no problem as that’s the farthest I went. I didn’t know these systems are basically a plug and play system that you can add upgrades to it such as the LTE drone. So now I’m looking for a nice deal on that upgrade. Also, this system doesn’t void your car warranty. If you sell your car you can have them take this out and install it in the new car you purchase later. Also, during purchase, it came with free installation and all the necessary kit to install on my 2017 Honda Accord Sport. It was an easy peasy install and only took about an hour. Again, the installation guy was awesome. He showed me step by step how to work the system. Now I have to get another system to put in my wife’s car. This was a test run for me, but man it was so worth it. This system save me about $200-$300 less that I was going to spend at my local tint shop for a remote start. Glad I went with Compustar, it’s only been a week, but it is very good. Also, installation is being pushed back 5-6 weeks in certain locations, so if you buy this system, make sure to schedule your appointment ASAP.

Bought this for my girlfriend and she LOVES it!! She's cold natured, so being able to get into a warm pickup on a cold day is a blessing for her. I read reviews about others saying they should have gotten the 2 remote version, but they never expounded on WHY. So I got the 2 remote kit to be safe. Here's the deal, one remote is basic bare bones, just push the appropriate button. The other remote is Mr fancy! It will give off certain "beeps" depending on what button you push, door locks, ignition start etc. This let's you know that the thing you want done has actually happened on the vehicle. If it doesn't beep it hasn't happened yet. Cant say just how far it will reach, her pickup is only about 30 feet from the house. So far it hasn't missed a lick......great product!!

A little nice upgrade for people with older or newer vehicles that wants to warm up their car during cold days or cool it during hot days! This unit reaches out to 3000ft which is a huge plus! The tech guy who installed it at my local BB was very knowledgeable as well. The only con is only one of the transmitter remote is two way, the second one is a one way. Buy it when they go on sale to save yourself some money!

Living in WI this is a must, and I didn't want to commit to a subscription just turn my vehicle on. My parking area is very far from where my car is located. The 2-Way remote is a must honestly it will communicate back and notify you if your car successfully turned on. I have even been able to turn it on while inside a jail where I get zero reception in. Also live on the 3rd floor and my car is in the basement garage; it still is capable of turning my car on. If you can wait around Christmas, it typically goes for sale.

Had this installed in my 2014 f-150 by the best buy technicians and it’s works amazing. Super easy to use, good range and I can leave the truck running while locked if I need to just run into the store real quick, technicians did a good clean job.

Purchased this alarm and two way remote start appx six months ago. Best buy's geek installer did an excellent job as both units work as expected and is problem free. Was looking at Viper alarms due to buying and having them professionally installed 15 years ago on a couple new vehicles at BestBuy, but those alarms would always slowly drain the vehicles batteries till dead if left sitting for a week. Was looking for another alarm for an old classic truck and noticed BestBuy had a terrific Black Fri sale on the remote start and a Deal Of The Day sale on the Alarm. I asked around about Compustar and heard they're good, so I was happy to get a good system with free install from BestBuy. Am very satisfied with the Compustar brand alarm and can say this alarm is a good one.

I have a 2015 Tundra. Install was top notch. The only way I know it was installed is now I have an antennae on my windshield. I have 2 other cars with remotes (1 factory and one also installed by Best Buy) this on has a much farther range than the others. With the conformation beep, I don't need to see the cars lights to tell if it is started. Verry happy :)

Great range and easy to use in a jeep. No complaints

This remote start system is exactly what I wanted. It works flawlessly from great distance and sends a signal back to the fob to let me know that it is started. Of all the things that I have had installed in my vehicle this is the one I am most appreciative of. The total tech support did a great job installing.
