We bought this and had Best Buy do the install. It all went Great and the product works better than we even expected! It is wonderful to have a Remote start when you leave for work very early in the morning and it is winter weather!

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.

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 :)

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

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.

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.

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!

Great remote start for the Alaskan winter!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
