Many appreciate the price and the convenience of having their vehicle pre-heated, especially during cold weather. However, some customers expressed concerns regarding the key fob's functionality and battery life. The installation process, while sometimes requiring professional assistance, was generally well-received.

    I originally bought a Viper auto start only to later find out that the keyless entry key fob to my car would be disabled by the auto start and I'd have to use my keys. Also the viper remote can't be upgraded later if I wanted to add an alarm. But I have NONE of those problems with the Compustar system! I love this thing. INTERSTING FACT: Compustar started in Alaska where we know what cold is! So if you're looking for a good modular system with reliable cold starts and easily upgradable later, look no further than Compustar

    The two way remote is very nice to have, especially when traveling and being able to start your car from a motel room and know it did actually start when it is 10 degrees outside.

    I drive a hybrid so my choices are few and far between for an auto-starter. This one works perfectly with my car and never fails me.

    They installed it on my brand new car and it worked twice. After that my car wouldn't even start, I had to have it jumped. I had it removed and a different one installed (that is made in the USA) and haven't had any issues since. The only thing I thought was neat was the remote itself because it had a little car on and and the two times it worked it showed exhaust coming out of the car and that way you knew it did start. They said it was hard to install and they even told us after the fact that they had had isssues with this particular one.

    Installed on a 2013 Hyundai Sonata. Had to have it checked by Geek Squad again, which tweaked and disabled the factory OEM key fob to prevent interference. Working better.
