This remote start system works like a dream! It is so nice to hit the button and go get into a nice warm vehicle. To be able to activate with your phone as well is another added bonus. I have been very satisfied with it so far and the installation from Best Buy was awesome.

I bought this for my 2010 honda pilot and had geek squad install it.
Everything is included in the package. No need to buy any additional interface module.
You can remote start, unlock, lock using a free mobile app. Comes with 90 free subscription. I would sign up for the basic subscription because I love using my cell phone to start my car in the morning.
Highly recommended.

Bought this for my girlfriend and she loves it. She works at a mall and gets out pretty late during the winter season so being able to turn her car on from work before she leaves is great. The nice thing about this starter compared to other mobile starters is that it comes with a keychain starter and costs only $50 a year for the cheaper plan after the 90 day trial. Expect about a 4 hour install at the least, her car is a very simple 2010 Civic and thats about how long it took for her's.

I am reviewing this remote start after over 2 years of use. I have had zero issues with my remote start keyless entry. The app works great on the android platform. I also use the remote that was also provided.
The installation was in one of the hardest and most advanced secure vehicles on the market, a Volkswagen.
The installation was performed by best buy, it was done flawlessly. ( i use to own a car audio and security company ).

I got this in daily deal from best buy. All the items required for installation are included and geeks quad tech did great job.
If they had mentioned something about yearly subscription in the product specifications that should be useful for others. I know it from my research I got basic subscription and all the functionality which I need included with that. You can start without mobile too

Hands down above the competition. This is so much more than a remote starter. Remote accessory control, remote lock or unlock, and vehicle location this is a great system. The feedback via smartphone app takes all the guess work away. Even monitor the interior temp of the vehicle from the app so you know when to go out to the car.

Vehicle: 2012 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab Pro-4X
Picked this up from a BB Deal of The Day purchase ($299, plus tax and 2 year warranty - total was $411.93 and Geek Squad install included). So far, I'm using the Drone Mobile 90 day complimentary basic plan - I may upgrade to the premium plan eventually which works out to about $10 per month for additional features.
I've grown up with Viper and Pioneer products. My last truck I had Best Buy install a DEI remote start add on to my then existing Python alarm. It still works after 14 years! I had used it daily, remotely starting my truck for hot and cold days, as well as a vehicle warm up - every day. I honestly believe it contributed to my truck lasting as long as it has. I've since sold that truck with over 140K miles.
Since purchasing a newer truck and been wanting a Smart Remote starter, I took a chance with this kit. I was concerned about the new chip technology and still be able to use the factory key fob. The bypass module that comes in the kit solves that issue. I should have ordered two and put the other one in my wife's car! I downloaded the app to my Samsung S4 phone, registered the kit and was up and running after the install. You get confirmation of the vehicle actually starting and it locks the vehicle, and the running lights turn on. As with my old starter, this kit has an auto shut-off after approximately 15 minutes, which is nice if I wanted to bring my dogs on a quick errand and not worry about them by running the A/C on hot days. My older DEI lasted 8 minutes.
So far, I'm pretty pleased with it. I may eventually add AUX 1 and 2 for two windows to slightly open or open all the way to allow the cold or hot air to be pushed out or may utilize them for off-road or camping lighting. Hope it continues to work and last as long as my older one - if another BB Deal of the Day comes along, I'll buy another. Go buy it!

I definitely prefer the viper remote start I had before this one. The drones remote is not as easy to use and I am often accidentally pocket starting my car. Also clicking twice to open all doors is very unreliable. Best buy did do a good job on install though. Also lost interest in subscription for smartphone remote. Just another annual fee I don't need.

Bought this as a deal of the day item. Installation was easy to set up and Geek squad did great job on the install.
