    Thought it was great deal for the price. But over the last couple weeks, it hasn't been working. The fob will not start the car, even being within 20 feet. Its kind of a let down.

    Very good basic starter system. It met my needs and is a blessing this winter! Would have given it 5 stars, but the remote has a lot of room for improvement.

    There is nothing better then getting in your car with the AC on in the summer and the heater in the cold by the time you get in your car.

    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.

    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 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!!!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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
