Customer Ratings & Reviews

I am new to Alaska, and my new neighbor recommended a remote start for the winter here. I admit that I was already considering before his recommendation. I get a lot of my electronics from Best Buy, and I am a Total Tech member with them that allows free installation. So, I looked at what Best Buy had to offer, and I chose this model. I received an installation appointment that worked for me, and it was installed quicker than initially advised. The remote start works great, and I couldn’t be happier. If you are on the fence, then I would recommend getting this.

This is a late review. I have got the auto start installed in my car over 6 months back. Great service from Best Buy technician. They did a free installation with the product and in no time. They were really prompt with the service and explained the features really well to me. Auto start works like a butter. I got two remote, one 2 way and another one is 1 way. I have been using 2 way since last 6 months and never had any issue with it. You can switch on/off the car from a good enough distance. I live on the 4th floor towards the back of my apt building and park my car on the front side and had no trouble switching on my car from my apt. Overall the product and the service was great!

Very nice and easy to use product . It has been something which everyone should install in there cars if they do not have auto start . With small kids and in New England it is a must to have product in your vehicle

Had a monent of walking to the car and it would not auto open with original key.. but have not seen it again. Install was pretty smooth, and timely.. 2020 Toyota highlander Hybrid, and no issues . Definately recommended but one thing i will say took me by surprise.. only 1 of the 2 remotes is 2 way, the other one is a 1 way.. not sure i understood that from the description or maybe i just assumed.. that is my only complaint

Great remote starter and easy to use. I never manually lock the vehicle just strictly the remote starter fob. The range is awesome and even though the brick walls and out there on the other side of the parking lot car starts and remote sounds off when started. I waited until it went on sale then pulled the trigger. Total price includes remote starter and the installation. I ended getting it as winter rolled around and waited a little over 2 months for the installation appointment. Seems like everyone gets their remote starters around that time. Well worth the wait very happy camper. The person who did the install at the Leominster Best Buy was awesome.

A simple remote starter for vehicles that will save your lofe in the winter if you dont have a garage. The range is very long, and it has feedback on the remote so you know if the car turned on or not. The big plus is that Best Buy will install it for you at no additional cost. If you ever see it at a reduced price, dont think twice!

I've had this kit on 2 cars now. The older 2011 outback was great. It even added remote start to my factory fob, which was nice. My newer 2022 outback with a push button start is a little weirder, but works. I can only unlock/lock the car with the compustar remote if I used it to remote start. (old one let me use oem or compustar regardless). New one did not add remote start to my factory fob. I liked being able to remote start, but not bring the compustar fob with me. I can't do that anymore. Either way, at 250-300 with install this a solid deal for harsh winters.

Excellent product, easy to use and very convenient. The 2 way was really helpful but it did make other people look around in confusion when the car started LOL I liked that the remote gave a chirp once I opened the door to remind me to put the key in the lock before I hit the brake. Even if I forgot all I had to do was simply turn the key to start the car again. The 1 way worked well too but it's a good idea to be able to see the car to make sure it started as you get no feedback.

Ive had for three years now. Works great! I can leave the car running and leave the car with my keys still on me and lock it. Works from super far away

Purchased the 800' kit one evening, the next morning this kit was onsite for cheaper than the 800' kit! Simply returned and purchased this kit. Install was quick and painless drop off. Best Buy mobile was very disconnected from the store itself. Even a little hard to find. Was also asked why I didn't pick up the product for install. But I was never told to, just to arrive for install. System itself if great. I work behind a wall of servers and computers and it still reaches my car about 200 feet away. I prefer the silver remote because I get the response. Multiple times the black remote has failed and I didn't know. The new remote replaces the old remote until you enter the car. But then (for me on Kia Sorrento without push to start) I have to return to my original remote. Very happy with the product. Will buy again for my husbands car.

Just had it installed on my 2013 Toyota Camry by Geek Squad. I'm very satisfied with the customer service by the installation team as they were very nice and explained the process well. They only took an hour to install it. So far, this remote has been flawless and will be handy this winter. It's user-friendly and works amazingly. What a deal from black friday. The only cons are the remote is a little bigger/bulky than I would like it to be. Combined with my stock keys, I have now a much bigger set of keys to bring around. It was also difficult to schedule an appointment with the installation team. Had to wait more than a month for the appointment. But with the black friday price, it was worth it.

This remote start works flawlessly. It has a great range and feedback on whether or not the vehicle has started. The install was completed in less than hour. Highly recommended.

Installation was smooth and works exactly as advertised! Wouldn't have a car without it!

Got an appointment to get my truck in before winter got too bad and had the remote start put in. Things went really smooth. Kai the technician is awesome. I have had no problems with my truck started every time this winter even at -45 with the windchill even colder than that. Now I’m taking my truck in to get the alarm system add on for that remote start system. Hopefully everything goes smooth as the first time. I’m pretty sure it will . Hats off to you Kai. Very good job.

Wanted a remote start for years, so glad I found this one. The range is unreal, can start from my desk at work which is on the other side of the building and starts every time. Best buy installed for free (included in the price) and did a great job.

Expertly installed by Best Buy in a 14 Nissan Titan. Works Flawlessly! Even had them connect the window/mirror defrost as an "aux" for those frosty mornings. The range is outstanding. It says 3000', thats over a half a mile! I started my vehicle at walmart while in the checkout line. 2way lets you know it actually started. Only gripe is the sensor in the windshield has a flashing blue light. Not bad, but at night its a distraction. Wish it was installed behind the rearview mirror so I don't see it. Love the product and Bestbuy install was GREAT!

I won’t own a vehicle without a remote start anymore. This Compustar is worth every penny. The feedback (where it lets you know if the vehicle actually started) is invaluable. I have had Best Buy install five of these now (my vehicles, my teen children and a friend) and they have been flawless.

Awesome item a little pricey, but well worth it. Makes things a lot easier.

This is one of the best upgrades for my 11 GMC Sierra. I'm able to solely use the 2 remotes included, rather than the 2 original ones. The installer originally said otherwise. The installation was quick and professional. I did not receive a T harness with my purchase and apparently this should have come with the unit. Make sure you have one prior toyour install appointment.

This is an excellent product that exceeded my expectations. The quality and design demonstrate real attention to detail, and the accompanying app is exceptionally user-friendly, making setup and daily use effortless. Additionally, the subscription cost is refreshingly affordable, offering great value for the quality and features provided. I’m genuinely pleased with my purchase and confident it will serve me well for a long time.
