    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!

    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 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.

    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.

    Compustar 2 way remote starter works flawlessly with Civic 2013, starting my car within seconds, even in extreme cold/hot weather. Geek squad has done pretty good job with installation. The range is impressive, allowing me to start my vehicle from inside my home or office. Highly recommended for those looking to start their car remotely without hassle!

    Upgrade Keyless Entry and Remote Start Option

    So far so good. This product was purchased for a 01 Monte Carlo to upgrade the keyless entry and remote start feature was a must have living in the South. The keyless entry provides an additional layer of security as the vehicle's lights come of when operating the vehicle at night. The response notification to the key fob is a nice touch and informs the driver of the requested operation and if it was executed. I also purchased this product during the Christmas shopping period and deal received was amazing! Overall my daughter really loves all the features and I'm satisfied with the safety that is provided with the system!

    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.

    Great Addition to Slightly Older Vehicle

    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.

    Ice Cold Winters ITS A MUST

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
