    What's really great about this starter is I can turn on my rear defrosters from my key chain if I forget to set them...another plus is If I should lock my keys in the car...I can start the car and unlock it from my phone....

    It’s fully functional with my 2016 KIA Sportage Factory remote. No need for a separate remote (although it comes with one.). The Bluetooth only works from about 30 feet away, but that’s typical of Bluetooth.

    works really well; one of the major disadvantages is that there is only one remote with this purchase; therefore if additional ones are needed you have to pay extra for it.

    Starts and relays that the car is on in one press. Only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is that the remote requires charging.

    The unit is great. It works very well. I think they should give the cell phone free for a year and more people would keep it after the first year.

    Apps works via/Bluetooth as long as you are about 15-20ft away. The only downfall is it unlocks your car once you started it.

    Misleading

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

    Purchased this as a gift to my daughters and when it came time for installation by Best Buy, parts were missing that were supposed to be included and they wanted additional installation charges when installation was supposed to be included when I purchased the system as advertised. I specifically asked the associate when I purchased the product about harnesses, and he told me that I purchased the harness and everything would be in the box. Now when it came time for installation, its not there and the new installer told me that I had to pay an additional ~$108 and an additional installation charge. Unacceptable and thank you for refunding the money. However I would not recommend anyone do business with an organization that has hidden fees.

    This has been a great purchase for my daughter who did not like dealing with the outside parking elements in the winter. Upgraded the key fob to have control on the locks and trunk. Best Buy did a great install.

    I have found that it will drain the battery/killed the alternator if you just it all the time. better if only used in the south

    I recently bought a total of 3 Remote Start systems as well as a new stereo and a backup camera as Christmas presents and had them all installed. Eric, Chris and the whole team at my local store were incredible and helped me look like a real hero on Christmas morning!!!

    Purchased the Viper DS4+ remote start for my Mazda. The best part of this product is they have modular parts in case you want to expand features on this product. The current equipment has Bluetooth module which can remotely start the engine, lock & unlock the vehicle.

    I purchased it for my Nissan Rouge 2015 and Hondo CRV 2014 and both work great with excellent reception range. Has saved my time and life a lot in winter as well as Summer. It has a good range and even has an iOS and Android software.

    Works great! We set our heater where we want it and remote start it in the morning before taking the kids to school and it’s nice and warm when we come out to the vehicle. It’s set to run for 25 minutes when remote started
