    This product doesn't want you to install it yourself. It specifically wants you to pay someone. Says it on the side of the box.

    Purchased this as an upgrade to my Compustar remote start. Best Buy gives a certain amount of time to return. How am I supposed to know if I need to return it, if Geek Squad can not get an appointment to install until after time is over???? It may be a decent unit, but how can I know if Best Buy takes MONTHS to get an appointment???

    I received the remote starter package awaiting installation. I like the description of it. I will update my rating after the installation by Best buy team.

    My Greenville nc store recommended this unit after the previously bb installed viper unit failed and they could not figure out how to fix it. True to form, they could not get this one installed.

    Only 1 fob comes with the 2-way and the install guys wouldn’t set up the remote that came with the original alarm system.

    Range is less then stated. I think I was sold it and didn't need it. The 2way you need to subscribe for. It was not disclosed before sale or at installation

    I purchased two of the Compustar 2WG15 for a x mas gift. I went over the features with the sales clerk and thoght it would be a great add on for each (different) vehicle. What was sold to me was JUST and $200. upgrade kit! Now I'm not able to return it!

    I had the car started installed on December 24, 2020 and by Jan 15, 2021 (less than 3 weeks) it doesn't work. I tried to call and get an appointment and sat on phone over one hour and nobody answered. I went into store to have it fixed and the appointments are 4 weeks out. Winter will be half over and I will not even have used the car starter that I paid $500 for. I am very unhappy!
