Customer Ratings & Reviews

long range, ease of use, after getting this my car original key fob stopped working though but otherwise works great cuz the remote they give has a long range and better use ..

Had two compustar remote starts installed on two different kias. The first one (2011 sorrento with security update recall performed ) the installation had an issue where the alarm would go off after pressing the start button on the remote. The tech brought the car back in and was able to get that working properly so make sure you try before you take it home. Best buy does a nice job giving you a tour of the system before you go, so just don't let them turn off the system too quickly after the remote start is activated. Let it run for a minute. Make sure it continues to run the to alarm doesn't beep the horn.... One side note on the Kia is is the original remote lock/Unlock fob does not work when the car is started with remote system otherwise ... Works fine if you don't start the car with the remote though. Also the key fob the Kia gives does not remote start the car. If you hold down the unlock button twice like the compustar documentation says it will, that is not correct

Purchased 2 (discouted), works great, satisfied…..

Best investment I have made for my car!! Works perfectly and flawlessly!! Took minimal time to install! Well worth the cost!! I highly recommend it for anyone who wants or needs one in a car that didn’t come equipped with one! My car is a 2005 and I’m so glad I found this!! I love it!!

My Chevy spark had nothing automatic except the windows. I purchased the remote start and had the installation department also install auto door locks. They were absolutely wonderful explaining each step. The remote start installation was free, but the door locks were not included but so worth it. Trust the Geek Squad at the East Brunswick NJ Best Buy! They are awesome!

This remote starter is really nice on frigid mornings! It works from a good distance and was reasonably priced with installation from Best Buy. I would buy again.

The remote start has been super convenient to have in both winter and summer months when having the car already running, or keeping it running helps tremendously. I've had zero issues with the product with daily use, and the experience getting it installed at my local bestbuy was great. They were super friendly, quick and did a great job.

I snagged this on a good deal on Black Friday. There were some initial issues with my specific year and model of my car 2016 Altima, but the store was able to fix the issue. The remote start is great and the reliability and range is great

Can't beat the price. Works like it should. I've had it for a few months and no issues.

No issues with the system yet! Has held up quite well and works every time we’ve asked for it to work from the remote! It’s been several years at this point, so how could I possibly complain

Great product can’t see myself without it. A must have

Bought this when it was on sale for a great price. Be aware that one one of the two key fobs provided is actually two-way communication. I had it finally installed this week after not being able to find any appointments locally. So far so good and the technician went over everything thoroughly and even programmed my two factory keys as well which I wasn’t aware was part of the deal. Install took about 3 hours. I did have to pay for two bypass modules but other than that complete installation was included in the purchase price.

Great product, remotes work great..i love the 2 way feature. Only downside is if you have a lexus or Toyota its a 98% chance the vehicle will turn off when you open the door. But the remote start system works great....if anyone knows how to fix the shut off feature on a Lexus please let me know. Thanks

With cold winter I was wanting a remote start for my truck and came across this one on Best Buy’s website. And since I bought it from them. They installed it. Now it’s been over 6 months of use since I bought it and it works great. Right now I just have the key remote to start it within 300 or ft or meters. Working in a building sometimes it wouldn’t start where I was at. But it’s a two way remote. So it will let you know if it started. I plan to add the gps later that I can start it with my smart phone from anywhere. Just right now the 300 or so ft is good enough for me. But I would recommend this to anyone. I haven’t had any problems with it.

I have got this installed for my 2019 Audi A7 and it works great. Only issue with the remote start is it is randomly unsuccessful at starting my car but it is not all the time. I believe it may be due to a configuration issue that can be resolved. Getting it installed was difficult at first because I had to find a Best Buy that was willing to install it as the first one refused to since they did not carry what was needed to install it making it "incompatible" with my car. I was lucky with the second Best Buy store because the installer was willing to work with me. Only thing was I needed to buy a specific harness from a different online store and a spare key that was going to have to stay hidden with the module inside the car at all times. After getting the specific harness and spare key it was installed in less than 2 hours. Overall I am satisfied with my purchase despite the fact it some times it may not start which can be annoying the hoops I had to jump through to get it installed through Best Buy.

Excellent remote start system and Best Buy included installation makes it an even better deal. Remote start is a game changer for cold weather, and also good for hot summers. This system is reliable and has good range. When this goes on sale you should pick it up.

Bestbuy installed this in under 2 hours and it works flawlessly. The range is exceptional. I will never have to worry about getting into a hot or cold car without having to buy a new car. This thing is totally worth it, cannot recommend enough if your vehicle doesnt have remote start.

Bought the Compustar 4509s on sale at $250 with install and associated parts for my Honda CRV Wanted the feedback feature in particular. Had to wait a month for install but that went smoothly.. Got a quick rundown on operating the starter from the installer.. most appreciated.... The starter works so well that the next time I saw it on sale i bought a second one for my wife's CRV.. just waiting for that install appointment.. All in all 5 STARS !!!

I like this version of the remote, it gives audible alerts of what buttons have been pressed. I added the alarm, however the volume on the alarm is not loud at all. Would need to be awake or light sleeper to hear it in the middle of the night or within ear shot.

I love being able to start my car remotely. The distance from which I can start my car is awesome! I live on the 3rd floor and on the opposite end of where my car is parked. I can start my car from inside. The price was great which made it even better.
