    I have this installed on a 2014 Nissan Frontier with a tradional key. I got for the colder winters and for when I move to Florida. My installer was excellent!

    I’ve had this for a year. I bought it for the cold winters where I live but used it over the summer when it was extremely hot as well. It definitely works from a far distance. I work in a factory and can just start my car up from wherever I am so it’s heated up by the time I’m leaving. When I got it installed my vehicle which is a 2018 Buick encore did give the tech some trouble but it got worked out and I didn’t have to purchase anything else.

    Purchased it when it was on sale. Seems to work good, but take more than few seconds to get a response, and might be an installation issue but factory keyfob is not well integrated with the system

    Been waiting 10 months now to get this installed - may be a great gadget but how would anyone know. Can't use it if Best Buy won't call you back to schedule installation.

    The guys in the shop are very friendly. Ray, the tech that put my remote start in, was very personable and professional. He did a great jog installing my remote start & didn't even break any plastic tabs like I usually do. Lol.... Anyways, I would recommend.

    Went to purchase remote start for my IS300. Technician explained me all different brands with specifications and prices. I purchased it online when it was half priced just after Black Friday. Had to schedule appointment for installation, installation was free. I received detailed instructions from technician after installation. It’s been just a weekend having it installed and works great so far.

    This works amazing and hasnt had any issues. The geek squad in palmdale installed it very quickly for my 2003 Rav4 and explained it very well afterwards. Thank you to Omar and Jesse for the help

    Got this as a deal of the day well worth it the only down side was that i had to wait two moths for the install and they tried to cancel sending the wire harness. I had to order that separate, even though I shouldve gotten that free

    Purchased this remote start system during a flash sale and I must say; Best investment I've ever made. The Geek Squad tech who installed the system did a fantastic job. Money well spent, highly recommend

    The remote only works sometimes. To enter car without starting the remote works fine but when remote started the buttons only worked sometimes or mostly not at all. I am making an appointment to have it looked at as we speak. Not sure if it’s just the remote or the system. I guess I will fine out when I return to the store. My old starter in my 12 years old car still works and have never given any problems

    There is one thing I wish this had. The factory fob would chirp the horn when the lock or unlock is pressed a second time. The feedback is nice when you are looking for your vehicle or want to confirm it is locked.

    So far I love this starter. My only hesitation, is the install. I had a Viper and had nothing but issues. Every 3-6 months the computer would lose its memory. I hope this doesnt happen to this starter.

    I had this installed on my 2018 Mazda 3, and it works perfectly well for what I need — I start my car from a distance, and my car is warmed up by the time I sit in it. However, I still need my original Mazda fob with me in order to drive. That fob in addition to the remote start fob take a lot of space on my keychain. Lastly, I’ll sometimes open my trunk (with both fobs on me), and the car engine turns off.

    Im an autotech. I mess eith all options we sell here. I bought this for my mazda cx5. Did i need to? No. Is it nice? Yes. Is it worth it? Yes. The range is a godsend. 9/10 it is expensive, and doesn't do more thsn the other units, but the key is definitely the most premium option and the range is over a mile.

    Awesome remote starter starts up right away, does have some delay once you push the button to get the second notification that your vehicle has actually started. But overall it works excellent.
