    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.

    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.

    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.

    Well, there is no secret why I gave such a good rating because I bought 10 of these and 10 different cars over the last five years and every time they worked extremely well haven't had no hiccups problems or headaches

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!
