    It works perfect, haven't had any issues with it at all, l love being able to start my car from inside my house when it's too cold for myself in the mornings, summer is coming and it will be even better to start when it gets scorching hot.

    Purchased this for my 2016 Corolla and I haven’t had any issues. I wish they could make it so the car stays on when you open the door rather than shut off to turn back on. Other than that it’s great. I also had Best Buy install the system.

    Bought for our son's car. This 2 way remote starter is very easy to use and so convenient for the kind of weather here in the midwest. Very happy for the price I paid compared to the other brands that we have had for our other cars.

    Works flawlessly so far. Can cool or warm the truck as needed before you get in. Remote is better then factory remote. It has audible chirps and lights that let you know it worked.

    the Compustar - 2-Way Remote Start System was an excellent buy, the price was great, the distance that I am able to start my vehicle and the ability to know that it has started is a bonus

    You can remote start the car to run the A/C in the summer, and the heat in the winter, so the inside temperature is perfect once you get in the car. You can get even more functions when you purchase the DroneMobile app.

    I had bestbuy installed the starter on my wife's car Lexus GX460 and it work flawlessly. In the morning she can warm up the car remotely before she enter it. She love this function now. Thanks Bestbuy.

    The remote start aspect of it is nice I go out to a cool truck but I was a little bit disappointed originally I was told that they had an alarm system with it as well but when I went to get the install done the guy said it is not alarm capable not too impressed I will be looking for another remote start system that has an alarm

    It's been over a year since having this installed on my 2013 Nissan Sentra and I love it. Installation took longer than they said but that's ok because I love being able to remote start my car.

    Installed early March, it's been working great. Appreciate not having to sit and wait for car to warm in the mornings or after work. The main key notifies you that the signal has been received, which is a plus.
