Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

The remote start works as intended on my 2020 kia forte. The instillation was timely and professional, and John took the time to walk me through the features and operation of the system and keys. The range of 3000 works as advertised, walls and buildings can obstruct the remotes ability to reach the antenna, but the 2 way remote solves the issue of not knowing if the car started.

I bought another used car and I can't live without a remote starter in New England. After shopping around I landed on a really good sale for this Compustar unit. The 2-way was appealing as well as the longer range. Chris was able to fit me in early for an install, met me early so I can make an appointment and even got it done in about 1-1/2 hours! The range is crazy compared to my older Compustar starter. I ended up finding another on sale for my daughters car and then Chris told me I could upgrade my wife's car for $99, so I did. These units are really great!

Not bad it’s solid , range is solid aswell decent for for starting when your inside your house and it’s winter so your car is warm , the alarm does drain your battery if not turned on for like 2 days or more and needs to be cycled at Best Buy which kind of sucks , but if you know your car is going to be left sitting then just leave it on a trickle charger.

I bought one for my car a few years back and the extension kit allowed me to start my car at work from the 4th floor,in the middle of a huge building. The feature where the remote confirms of the car started or not is super convenient. Very easy to use, and the installers were great, easy to work with & scheduling was easy as well. I purchased this new unit for my daughter and when I bought it right after Christmas, it was on sale and was the same price as the 1-way starter!!! Excellent deal.

This thing is awesome. I have it installed on 4 of my vehicles. I got this thing because I dread winter. The best part about compustar is you don't have to shut off the car when running quickly into the grocery store just hold the remote start button while in vehicle and remove the key and lock the door. the car will stay running when you return. Great deal and the cheapest i found a 2-way remote start was best buy

i bought this Compustar two way remote for my wife's 2018 Rav4. I have one in my camry from a different provider. This was 150.00 less expensive and is exactly what I wanted. Super long range. Alerts when the car is started and running. Best Buy installed it within 4 weeks and we only needed a 15.00 tee. Actual installation time was less than 2 hours.

i really like this starter....if you're going to get a starter a 2 way is the one you want. No more guessing if your car started then you're looking out the window....your fob lets you know with a chirp and lights. Great clean install by the tech here in Poughkeepsie NY and he explained to me how to use it. Got the starter for a great price and the deal had included installation.

This remote is easy to use . It is reliable at a good distance. In fact, my previous vehicle has one and has had no issues.i love getting into a warm car. I have no negative review for this product.

Wanted to add Remote Start to my 2004 Subaru Outback. There were no OEM options for my vehicle, so had to go aftermarket. It was important to me to get two-way communication, so that I could get feedback that my vehicle had actually started and/or was still running. The 3000ft estimated range was a nice bonus, so I decided this system would be a good fit. Props to the installer guy for being ready when I arrived, knowing exactly what I did and did not need for my install, and getting it all done in about 2 hours. Sharp dude. That said, since having it installed, I have run into a couple of issues that caused me to knock this down to 4 stars: 1) Because it cannot integrate with OEM security system, when my wife accidentally hit the door lock before closing the door, the remote start caused the OEM system to immobilize the vehicle until I drove up there (an hour later) with the factory keyfob to disable the security alert. I now have to carry the factory keyfob in addition to the Compustar keyfob, just in case this happens when we are further away from home. 2) Sometimes the two-way remote doesn't beep to confirm the signal was sent, and then doesn't beep to confirm start signal was received back from vehicle. This happens even though I can see the vehicle received the command, started, and is running. When this happens, the remote also does not show the "run time remaining" countdown. Not sure what causes this, though I have tried to figure it out several times. Overall, I still think this is a great system. Not sure any other system could overcome the OEM interface problem, and the occasional failure of the 2way communication is not a deal breaker for me. Would definitely recommend.

The remote start works as expected. I can remote start my vehicle from anywhere in my house and even from within my office (depending where I park). I’m still trying to get used to inserting the key and turning it to the on position before pressing the brake pedal (which causes the engine to stop). But otherwise its great.

excellent product. I bought this last year and it was worth every penny. I bought another one for a family member and i would buy another one if i had multiple cars . Here in the Northwest with these cold mornings i can't stress how much convenient this product is . The Range is incredible and I would highly recommend the 2 way for the extra price.

This auto starter works extremely well. I have been using it for a little over 3 months now. The range is great. I can start my car 3-4 blocks distance, and the signal goes through thick walls. I really like it so far, and will write an updated review in the near future

This remote starter make my life is very easy and the person whoever installed he’s so nice and quick thank you appreciate.

I've had this system for almost a month and I have to say that I'm so glad to have this system. It works great and you can start the car from a fairly decent distance. Haven't had any issues and the installment time was fairly quick. Purchased during a Black Friday sale and well worth the price.

Amazing remote starter, works as intended, starts up my car from up to half a mile away, i can be very far and the car starts up instantly, you can turn off the sound that it makes via a guide but other than the the two way remote is the right way to go as it lets you know when the car started instead of one way without any notification.

Easy to install. Plug and play works perfect with the factory remote. Press the lock button 3 times the car starts. Hot summers hot summer of Florida made me cave, and could not be happier with the price point. Best Buy installed this for me. I was about 1hr project. I would purchase for all car in the future.

got this starter for $200 ON SALE and best buy installer installed it few days ago man they did a great job. very strong starter they even made my factory fob start the car how awesome is that? best part is if you buy lots of electronics pls buy the TTS will save you so much money on installations and will cover all you buy from them 2 years replacement warranty. also i love their finance options for 2 years. i think best buy is now days under rated and under appreciated retail store. they deserve 10 star.

Bought this on a Deal of the Day promotion after reading numerous reviews on this product and others as well. Had Best Buy professionals install the alarm and am I impressed. Jeff at my Best Buy went through the whole process of how it works, what it does and should I ever have a question or a problem arise... Just go see him and he’d take care of the need. Bottom line for me regarding a good deal is something that has an overall 4/5 star review(s), savings AND installation comes with it (free). This alarm had it all plus, a great option to have on chilly mornings and getting into your car thats already warmed up or cooled regardless of the weather. Works great with my 13 Maxima and once the sale pops up again, buying it for my newer CX-9 as well. Don’t leave the store without the tech explaining how everything works, my guy did just that! Enjoy

This is my third remote start from Best Buy and I love them all. You can start your vehicle from the comfort of your home and it will be cool or warm when you get ready to leave. If someone unauthorized tries to drive off as soon as they step on the brake to put the car in gear it turns off. I use these because our dog travels with us out West and wouldn't survive the heat if we couldn't run the car.
