    Installation Issues

    I received this product on Jan 7 2022, i had 3 scheduled appointments for the installation, and as of today Jan 28 2022 my remote starter still has not been installed. Every time i attended each appointment at 3 different locations to get the installation done, geek squad told me that a installation was not scheduled, and i could receive a 30min consultation.Please be advised that getting this product has been a catastrophe, so purchase at your own risk!

    Free installation was included with purchase, which is why I purchased it. I've waited nearly a month and a half for the installation appointment for best buy to cancel it 2 weeks before the appointment. The next available installation appointment is in another month. No, thank you. I'm just gonna return the remote starter. Very frustrating, not worth the wait.

    Bought this and went in to have it installed and when I got there, found out I had to buy a t-strap that will cost extra and best buy doesn't even sell the kind I needed for my car. I then had to make a new appointment to get it installed after buying the t-strap separately on the internet and now have to wait another month and a half to get it installed.

    Keeps disrupting my smart key and the car's telling me to take it to the dealership for service and the dealer refuses service because it's a 3rd party remote installer.

    I have appointment today 01/08/2022 at 4:20pm to do installation this remote starter for my car in the store in Cypress, I also called the Customer Service in early morning to confirm about this and they said that everything is all set, I could bring my car there. When I got there, they said that the Geek Squad people don't work at that store anymore and nobody could do that for my car. What's happening with you guys? I came back home and call them, they let me wait for a long time, I mean over 30'. I think what you guys should do is give me a call back as soon as you can and do the right thing.

    There 3rd party remote starts can really mess with your car in nasty ways. If you have a newer car that had an optional remote start package, see if you can still install it like I could.

    Don't purchase this remote started as you'll probably need a T-harness in order to install. Best buy told they don't offer this part anymore for free therefore had to purchase elsewhere and let me tell you it's not cheap so I had to return it

    To be fair I can't give a true review. Bought it in December and was told I have to wait until March to have it installed. I believe this is going to be returned.

    unable to provide feedback. Waited a month for installation date, only to find the Geek Squad sales rep failed to advise the wiring harness had to be ordered as well. The installation tech advised e they had overlooked this on day of installation. Installation tech took corrective action and ordered the wiring harness; however, next available installation appointment was 6 weeks out into the New Year. Not a happy camper! You asked.

    Item is great. Problem is they do not install them in Baxter which is the closest location. I purchased them as a gift for all of my staff now they have to travel to St. Cloud to get it installed…
