Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is amazing. I love it, especially on the cold winter days. Couldn't ever go back to the old ways. I can start the car parked in the parking garage over 200 yards away from my nurses desk.

This is our second car and set of iDataStart HC3.5 starter installs. Winter or Summer, it is great to start your car from a distance and enter your car in comfort. I was able to start my car from my airport gate as I got off the plane and my car was cool and ready for my drive home. It was in a concrete parking garage adjacent to the airport, which surprised me when it worked given all the traffic on the airwaves and rebar in the concrete.

Awesome remote start! Can start from long distances, and as many times as I want. My new vehicle can only start twice before having to be started in the vehicle. Great system, great price, great installation!

My girlfriend owns a 2021 HRV and surprisingly Honda didn’t put Remote Start in them. That was the most disappointing thing out of that car, but she loves it. Ever since she got it I knew I was going to get her a Remote Start system. I went with this. It is so straightforward, just press and hold the “key” icon, and boom! The car is running!

Fantastic purchase! I absolutely love the ability to be able to start my vehicle without having to step outside, the tech were amazing and installed this without messing anything up! Highly recommended you purchase this if you’re debating right now!

Nice remote start system. Works well and performs as advertised. No anti-left function and my vehicle is too old to use the truck opener option.

This remote start is amazing! I work in a concrete building and needed something with a very long range and this starts my truck every time! The only downside is I think the instal wasn’t done properly because I have a slow battery drain now. Currently working with Best Buy/geek squad to get that taken care of but have had great customer service while working through it

Has worked great for my son's car. Installation was on time and no big deal. The distance his car can be started from has been so good. Great price too. He loves it

I installed this on a Volvo, the range is over 6k feet. My office is far and there is cinderblock in between, never thought this would work- to my surprise, this two way remote started my vehicle. You will not regret it . Best Buy Warwick has good installers and Dan Benoit is a highly knowledgeable and very clean. I’m happy with my purchase and so will you.

This is the best thing I could’ve ever done for myself. This remote starter is true to its word, long distant! I enjoy the fact that I can crank up my truck from my room and the truck is nice and toasty when we get it. It cut down on me having to leave out earlier to warm it up. Please make sure they order the T HARNESS! This is very important! They had it in the cart and on the receipt but it wasn’t ordered! My geek squad tech Frank called like a week in a half letting me know it wasn’t ordered. I went into the store the week before my appointment and had him to order it. Please triple check because your appointment will be canceled without it! It did take 2 1/2 hours to have it done. I love it and I’m happy!

Purchased this remote start system (installation included) for my lifelong bestie. She had the unit installed in her 2018 Jeep Wrangler. The installation was performed by Best Buy and it was truly free! When she activates the remote start, the fob alerts her that the vehicle has received the command to start. I’m jealous that the fob to my 2024 Chevy Equinox Premier doesn’t do that. I have to look out the window and watch for the headlights to flash. ☹️ While this is my bestie’s first experience with remote start on her own vehicle, I’ve had experience with both factory installed and aftermarket. In my opinion, the most impressive features of this unit are the range at which the fob will operate and the signal the user receives at the fob that indicates the vehicle started. Based on my experience and my bestie’s satisfaction, I would highly recommend this unit.

We have enjoyed having remote start! This system is so easy to use and works great! Very Impressed with the distance/range of the remotes! My husband text me at work one day and asked if my car was running. I stepped outside, and sure enough he was able to start it from home (over a mile as the crow flys). No issues so far.

I had this installed on a Crosstrek which needed a harness that was out of stock. A best Buy rep sent me a link to safely purchase from another business and received it in time for my appointment. I set aside 6 hours because I've heard horror stories of the installation taking way too long... Best Buy had it installed in less than 30 mins! I couldn't be happier with the experience!

Excellent remote starter. Works fantastic, I installed it in my Toyota Sienna ‘09 got installed by Bestbuy geek squad. It works from a great distance, I’m using it in NYC where my office is 5 blocks away from my car and it’s working like a charm. It also has 2-way which means it tells you if the car starts, and it comes with a 15 minute timer that shuts it off if you don’t enter the car. Excellent customer service, price was fairly cheap, it was even cheaper than Amazon that doesn’t even offer installation. Will definitely recommend and I’ll use Best Buy for all my car needs!

Was able to snag one for a good price during one of the sales. Works great, price included the harness and free installation (able to schedule one at a best buy about 15 miles away). Range is great, works from my condo (4th floor). Previously ordered a compustar which got cancelled. Found out that iDataStart is an improved version with higher range (6000ft compared to 3000ft with the compustar). Works only for cars equipped with push button start.

Best purchase for the winter I’ve ever made. Installed by Best Buy was amazing. They used the T-harness installed as part of the free installation with the purchase. I love getting the confirmation that my signal went through. Works from inside the building in my locker room on the third floor to parking lot outside. Fob super easy to use. Amazing!

I have had this for about two months and I love it. It has a very long range, even inside buildings. It has surprised me how far it will work. The two way system is very useful to know whether or not the car received the signal. This comes with two, two way remotes, which is extra from other models/manufacturers. I have it installed by Best Buy. The installation was covered by my Totaltech membership

I was hospitalized with a room facing away from the parking garage and on 2nd level. I thought from this distance it was a wast of time but it STARTED every TIME!!! Over 4500 feet it passsed every time. Alert received when the car started. I new my car would be warm everytime.

Great product at a great price. The two-way system is nice, and the product has a good range. Scheduling installation is very easy

We bought this after market and had installed at Best Buy. You wouldn’t even know that it was not factory. It has not had any issues. Well worth it.
