    The service was great. Completed the installation ahead of time and it works excellent. Got it installed just in time for some very cold night and recent snowfall in the morning hours. Great to have a auto starter and get into a warm van heading to work!

    Good range distance, I like how the signal light tells if car still running, I have encountered some issues of locking all doors even when trying to unlock different ways — I hope that changes because my hands r always carrying bags, not able to get the key out of my pocket/purse.

    This has changed my life drastically. The ease of just starting your vehicle to warm up during these winters in Chicago makes it that much better. Best Buy installed even better.

    Works great so far. Installed on a 2024 Honda Odyssey, along with the SmartSmart module. Best Buy installer took about 45 to install it.

    Rude Staff & Poor Service Experience

    I purchased and installed the Viper Remote Start System for my 2012 Hyundai Elantra at the Best Buy in Boardman, Youngstown, OH. Everything seemed fine at first, but after 4 days, my car started showing a voltage drop in the battery. When I disconnected the remote start system, the battery returned to normal — confirming that the issue came from the product, not my car. When I went back for assistance, the installer Josh was rude and unprofessional. He blamed my car, removed the keyless start connection without my permission, and didn’t even set back the module near the fuse box after removing it. He also said, “You can go outside and get it installed by some third party — I’m not going to do it.” I was told I would not receive any credit for the installation, even though I was willing to switch to another product and mentioned that the online price was cheaper than the store price. Despite having a Total Membership at Best Buy, I was not treated with respect or professionalism. The manager didn’t respond or try to resolve the issue, and the overall experience was extremely disappointing. The worst experience I’ve ever had at Best Buy — poor product compatibility, careless handling of my car, and unacceptable customer service.

    The 3rd time we had failure to this product. Brought it in to correct the problem 3 times. If it happens again, we will request for a different remote starter.

    Not very satisfied. IT DOESN'T WORK! I called to talk to store, but got call center. They WILL NOT let you talk to the store. They have ZERO clue how to troubleshoot. I can't afford to continue to make appointments when they can't install the product correctly in the first place. They hung up on me. Great Customer Service. Now I have to pay someone else to fix (probably uninstall and install a unit that will actually work).
