    It is wonderful to be able to stand in my nice warm doorway and start my car. Problem is the remote control on the starter isn’t really compatible with my car remote. I lock the doors with my car remote, but I need to use the remote starter to unlock my doors Not sure if that’s operator error or installation error

    Remote start is a TIME and step saver at home work or play. During bad weather it's a no brainer, however for warm up NO KEY LEFT IN CAR as it warms and DEFROST or DEFOG your auto.

    I was skeptical at first but went ahead .. I am glad I bought it. This thing is great. The distance for starting is great. I don't know why I waited so long to get one installed.

    I had best buy install this in my 2003 Acura Tl and it works fantastic. I start my car from the 3rd floor of my work across the parking lot, I've started my car from inside Sam's Club, I've even started my car from a block away on a run and it works flawlessly EVERYTIME. Amazing. It has a pit stop mode so I can run in and get a coffee from the donut shop without worrying if my car gets stolen. Two way communications ends me having to go out of my house to make sure if I really turned on the alarm. My favorite part is that it replaced my old remote, no need to carry the original remote as well.

    I bought this remote starter for my wife. Had it installed at bestbuy and it works great. She loves the two way remote which lets her know that the car started.

    I recently had the compustar installed in my Honda. So far I like the product except you are unable to open the trunk with the remote start button. Not a inconvenience due to I can still open it with my regular key.
