My car was stolen late last night. I told the cops where it was today so they could dust it for prints. And drive it home tonight.

This is an awesome product! I wish that I had purchased from the beginning instead of the upgraded remote. It has fantastic range and has come in handy for remote starting my car in the extreme heat we've had lately. Purchasing the 3-year subscription is worth it, especially the premium package.

Save your money and just use the included FOB.

The sales guy talked about bundle savings and the pamphlet has cool pictures of the app; don't waste the extra money. For starters, the app is pretty slow to respond. The key fob included with the remote start works just fine. What no one tells you until after you've purchased this and had it installed is there's a monthly/yearly fee to use the app, and of course there's different tiers of membership depending on what you want in your subscription. Just not worth it.

Awesome add on to my compustar system. It’s great to be able to lock and unlock the car with my iPhone just by asking Siri to do it and being able to start the car from anywhere no distance restriction.

This is great! Starts my car everywhere nice on really cold or hot days and if I forget to lock my car I don't have to go back to the car to take care of it! Just open the app and it's done!

The app does run a little slow, and I have to manually refresh the info page to determine the status of various features. The two biggest problems I have with it are that you have to insert the key into the door to unlock them once auto started, and that you have no control of the run time. If you want a longer or shorter automatic shut off, you have to bring the car into the shop and they can work on it.

Adding this to the remote starter was a must for my wifes vehicle. She has to walk 3 blocks to her work parking space and this allows the car to be warm when she arrives.

If you buy a compustar remote start you should get the drone mobile app. Never had a problem with it. Works amazing. Monthly fee of 5.99 but worth it to start your car anywhere. Pay more for gps location if needed. But used so far for two months has never failed me. Best Buy installers are top notch

It's great to be able to start my car from literally anywhere, but the cell phone app can be glitch. I've had to uninstall and reinstall it twice. Also, I've been having trouble making payments through their website and have had to call up and do it over the phone. But when it works, it works great.
