    Patience pays off. First when I went to get it installed at Bestbuy the first day, they couldn’t figure it out how to get it to work and after 6 and a half hour, the technician suggested that they will do a refund to me. Somehow I knew that the remote start module should work with my 2016 Mazda 3 because I’ve done some research and watch videos on YouTube. Rescheduled my appointment and told them to get another replacement and they figured it out the next visit. It’s been working like a charm. The remote start FOB truly can cover a LONG distance. My original key FOB works as a remote auto start too. Really happy with the item.

    I was looking for an auto starter on my 2022 audi q7. Research between this and compustar and ultimately decided to spend a little more for this unit. Idata has 2 - two way remote with a 6000 feet range. You can also use your factory oem key fob to start. Compustar CS4905S-KIT has 1 - two way and 1 - one way with a range of 3000 feet Bestbuy installer knew what he was doing and was very professional with the install.

    These are great quality and I really like the two way remote to confirm my car has started! You do have to have two car keys with chips in them for this to be programmed

    Excellent Starter for Push Button Cars

    Very Cool remote starter, also has super long range remote. It's amazing how far i can start my car, 2-way confirmation is a plus. This Starter paired with my push button Start Acura TLX Aspec allows for take over mode, which is a plus. I also got Drone mobile with this Starter for unlimited range. Factory key-Fob also can now start my car. Geek Squad Installer was very professional and knowledgeable about the products installed in my vehicle. Installation took a little longer than expected, but the wait was worth it. Winter time is now comfortable with remote start. All cars should have remote start feature.

    This is a very efficient product. It was installed by bestbuy auto tech, get an appointment took forever but the guys working on it and making the installation were always very helpful and polite. The product is ideal in too cold cities or too warm cities to turn on the car from the distance. I have tried for only a month since the installation but I am very happy with my purchase. It comes with two sets.

    This unit is amazing. Works over a mile away (6000ft) and has great features to transfer the key in and out if I want to pickup the remote session or leave a remote session to run into a store, etc. Best Buy install was amazing and comes with a lifetime warranty on the install.

    We have had no problems with this unit. I love the two communication that verifies the car started. I loved this product so much, I had it installed in my truck. Now, I am going to have this same product installed in another vehicle.

    iData Start Remote and Installation for Infiniti

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This is the first time I have ever had a remote ignition starter system in a car, and I really am enjoying being able to start my car and warm it up before leaving for work in the morning. It works through a couple layers of cinder block wall and at least a 300-foot distance so far. Both the original two key fobs and the two new key fobs work for all functions, with one glitch... the car does not "recognize/see" the new fobs when I am inside the car in order to start it. Therefore, I still have to have the old fob with me inside the car in order to start it, although both the new and old fobs will start the car remotely. I have not returned to Best Buy yet to see if this can be remedied. I have a 2013 Infiniti G37X and installation took over 5 hours. The customer service rep at Best Buy told me that Nissans tend to be a bit more problematic when it comes to installing remote starters but there was another customer waiting who had a completely different make and model vehicle that took about the same amount of time. That being said, just make arrangements to drop your car off and pick it up later, so you don't have to wait at the store if possible. Considering free installation combined with the Deal of the Day price, and a $100 good faith refund from Geek Squad/Best Buy for cancelling my appointment twice, it was an extremely good value. You cannot even get installation for that price elsewhere.

    A Must Have This Winter

    I Love it! So glad I purchased this remote start system for my 2016 Toyota Sienna. Best Buy Geek Squad installed it in less than 2 hours and it has been so simple and convenient. I've been using it for about a month now and I love it. I no longer have to walk into a freezing car. It reaches up to 600 ft and so my car is already ready when Im in my house or in the check out line in the grocery store. One of my favorite features is the automatic turn off. Sometimes I'm distracted and plan on leaving the house but forget my car is running. It'll beep once to remind you that its still on. If you don't put your key in the ignition soon, it'll turn off (runs for about 10 mins before the warning beep.) you can also press the lock or unlock button to buy some time in case you're almost ready to go in the car and want it to stay on after the warning beep. I start my car while I'm in my house to warm it up and while leaving the check out line in the grocery store. Definitely can't see myself without it. Its now a must have!
