Customer Ratings & Reviews

These 2-way auto-starts are excellent. I have had numerous units installed in different cars and cannot say enough positive things about these units. I love the ability to have the run time set to my preference, the chirp the fob makes to confirm it starts, and the distance this works from my vehicle. I like the compustar system better than GM factory auto-starts

Very Good 4.5 stars. I've had the new remote starter for two months now. The install took some time but was well done and worth the wait (install was done in Danvers, MA). The car starts right away from virtually anywhere, including anywhere in the house, in stores, and even 1/4 mile away while I was riding in another car. The two-way Compustar remote gives you a confirmation that your car has started (your original remote is not necessary for the install or daily use). The only surprising thing is while the door lock command is instantaneous, the unlock has a few seconds delay. It's a little annoying but not worth giving up a whole star. I got a great deal on it from BestBuy, and only wish I had done this a lot sooner. Absolutely recommended. PS - I found the remote's audible confirmations too much. You can silence the sounds coming from the remote by pushing the Trunk & Unlock buttons (on the remote) at the same time for 7-8 seconds, and just rely on the visual confirmations the remote gives you. To turn the sounds on again, push the same buttons again for 7-8 seconds.

I recently installed a car starter and I am absolutely thrilled with its performance! The installation process was smooth, and the device has exceeded my expectations. The remote start feature works flawlessly, allowing me to start my car from a distance, ensuring it's warm and ready to go on chilly mornings. The range is impressive, and the response time is quick, providing added convenience. I also appreciate the additional security features, giving me peace of mind knowing my car is protected. The device is user-friendly, and the controls are intuitive. Overall, I highly recommend this car starter to anyone looking for a reliable, efficient, and user-friendly solution to make their driving experience more comfortable and secure.

Added this to my 2021 Mazda 6. The range on the 2-way remote is excellent, every bit of the 3,000’ it’s advertised to do. If you dont like to carry the extra fob all the time, it will work with factory remote at close range. The install was thorough and the tech even set the 2 auxiliary functions. If the outdoor temp is below 36, the rear defogger comes on automatically and if the internal temp of the is 76 degrees or higher, the ventilated (cooling) seats turn on. This is my third time installing this, preciouly haf it on my son’s 2012 Camry and my 2015 Camry. Same luck (without the aux functions) and after 4 years, still working perfectly on my son’s 2012. Added the optional Drone this time and love it as well.

I recently purchased a remote starter for my vehicle, and it has truly revolutionized my daily routine. This little device has brought so much convenience and comfort to my life that I cannot help but sing its praises. From frosty winter mornings to sweltering summer afternoons, this remote starter has become my trusted companion. First and foremost, the installation process was a breeze.

Whether I'm in the comfort of my home or still making my way to the parking lot, I can start my vehicle with just a press of a button. This has been a game-changer during harsh weather conditions. Gone are the days of stepping into a frigid car or waiting for the AC to cool down a sweltering cabin. With the remote starter, I can preheat or precool my car, ensuring the perfect temperature before I even step foot inside. Furthermore, the remote starter boasts robust security features that have put my mind at ease. The system integrates seamlessly with my car's existing security system, ensuring that my vehicle remains safe and secure. The engine immobilizer feature prevents unauthorized starting attempts, giving me peace of mind wherever I park. One aspect that deserves special mention is the exceptional battery life. Despite regular use, the remote starter's battery has proven to be long-lasting. I haven't encountered any issues with battery drain, and it consistently provides reliable performance.

Works great. Remote start is great for the winter. Free install. Cheapest way to get two keep fobs. highly recommend. just don't let your battery die or else you might have to have the item reprogrammed

An excellent remote starter , and the installers at best buy were very professional and did an awesome work. I purchased this remote specifically for its long range and it works perfectly. I got this for an amazing deal.

1. Car is worm/cool prior to entry. 2. Engine oil has cycled prior to entry 3. The vehicle is secure from theft. 4. The installer was an absolute pro because I haven't had any battery issues, as some others have mentioned in reviews prior to my installation. 5. The price was EXCELLENT for what this system does for me.I wish I had done it so much sooner!!!

Bought this for my girlfriend and she LOVES it!! She's cold natured, so being able to get into a warm pickup on a cold day is a blessing for her. I read reviews about others saying they should have gotten the 2 remote version, but they never expounded on WHY. So I got the 2 remote kit to be safe. Here's the deal, one remote is basic bare bones, just push the appropriate button. The other remote is Mr fancy! It will give off certain "beeps" depending on what button you push, door locks, ignition start etc. This let's you know that the thing you want done has actually happened on the vehicle. If it doesn't beep it hasn't happened yet. Cant say just how far it will reach, her pickup is only about 30 feet from the house. So far it hasn't missed a lick......great product!!

This product came on sale for $269 one day and I decided to give it a try. The installation was done in Tinley Park and it was an excellent installer, very knowledgeable and thorough. The two way remote works from a far range and chirps at you to let you know the car is started, unlocked, locked, trunk open etc. The Compustar system even has a feature that allows you to keep the car running after starting it with your key, I love this. It perfect for a store run in or quick drop off etc. I don’t really use my car key fob anymore because of how well this system works. I really wished the system came with 2 two way remotes tho. It comes with only one and 1 one way remote. The range is rated for 3,000 ft, but I would say 1,000 ft is no problem as that’s the farthest I went. I didn’t know these systems are basically a plug and play system that you can add upgrades to it such as the LTE drone. So now I’m looking for a nice deal on that upgrade. Also, this system doesn’t void your car warranty. If you sell your car you can have them take this out and install it in the new car you purchase later. Also, during purchase, it came with free installation and all the necessary kit to install on my 2017 Honda Accord Sport. It was an easy peasy install and only took about an hour. Again, the installation guy was awesome. He showed me step by step how to work the system. Now I have to get another system to put in my wife’s car. This was a test run for me, but man it was so worth it. This system save me about $200-$300 less that I was going to spend at my local tint shop for a remote start. Glad I went with Compustar, it’s only been a week, but it is very good. Also, installation is being pushed back 5-6 weeks in certain locations, so if you buy this system, make sure to schedule your appointment ASAP.

This has been a great addition to my car! Being able to start it from long distance is really helpful! The remote start process isn't too long to get it installed and after they're done you're ready for use! I wasn't a big fan of this buzzing sound when it's running off of the remote start or that the light are always on while it's on. I'm not sure what it is or why it does it but works just fine. Prefect for when you need the AC or heater running while you get ready. Includes a valet mode so that you can go leave your car with someone and they won't use it more than what is intended for.

Has worked perfect from day 1. Remote works from inside my work to the parking lot, love it!

Even for my fairly basic car, a Nissan Versa Note, adding a remote start turns it into a luxury car! It is warm when the weather is cold and vice-versa. 2-way system ensures that the signal was received and that it really is warmed up when you get there. This product adds value to your vehicle no matter what kind it is. Best Buy Service Techs make this product just work as it is intended. Do NOT try installing yourself - it takes professional installation.

Purchased for my daughter’s 2019 Mazda CX9. This has worked awesome. She is a nurse and works in a hospital with a parking garage that is roughly 2000 ft away. She’s stood at the window of the hospital and hit the remote start and it worked from that long distance. Came out to a warm car when it was 7 degrees outside. The great thing about this 2 way unit it the way it beeps back at you letting you know the car was started. She said this was the best gift she’s had in a long time! Also saved a few hundred over what the dealer wanted to charge and it would t come close to the distance this system does.

I recently purchased the Compustar 2-Way Remote Start System with installation included for my 2012 Honda CR-V, and the entire experience has been seamless. Booking the installation appointment was quick and hassle-free, and the Geek Squad team did an excellent job with the setup. The product itself works flawlessly—starting my car remotely has been a game-changer during the cold Midwest mornings. The 3000-foot range is impressive, and having two remotes included is a great bonus. One of the standout aspects was Best Buy’s price match guarantee. After my purchase, I found a better price within BestBuy, and Best Buy promptly honored it, making the deal even sweeter. Overall, I’m thoroughly impressed with both the product and the service. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a reliable remote start system!

I bought another used car and I can't live without a remote starter in New England. After shopping around I landed on a really good sale for this Compustar unit. The 2-way was appealing as well as the longer range. Chris was able to fit me in early for an install, met me early so I can make an appointment and even got it done in about 1-1/2 hours! The range is crazy compared to my older Compustar starter. I ended up finding another on sale for my daughters car and then Chris told me I could upgrade my wife's car for $99, so I did. These units are really great!

Got this Compustar 4905S-KIT on a Black Friday deal from Best Buy and it was 100% worth it. The remote start works perfectly, the 2-way confirmation is super convenient, and the range is great. Installation was smooth and professional. Amazing value for the price I paid — highly recommend!

I bought one for my car a few years back and the extension kit allowed me to start my car at work from the 4th floor,in the middle of a huge building. The feature where the remote confirms of the car started or not is super convenient. Very easy to use, and the installers were great, easy to work with & scheduling was easy as well. I purchased this new unit for my daughter and when I bought it right after Christmas, it was on sale and was the same price as the 1-way starter!!! Excellent deal.

This thing is awesome. I have it installed on 4 of my vehicles. I got this thing because I dread winter. The best part about compustar is you don't have to shut off the car when running quickly into the grocery store just hold the remote start button while in vehicle and remove the key and lock the door. the car will stay running when you return. Great deal and the cheapest i found a 2-way remote start was best buy

i really like this starter....if you're going to get a starter a 2 way is the one you want. No more guessing if your car started then you're looking out the window....your fob lets you know with a chirp and lights. Great clean install by the tech here in Poughkeepsie NY and he explained to me how to use it. Got the starter for a great price and the deal had included installation.
