    This remote start works ok. Does not connect to my app at all and works Some of the time. When it does function correctly it’s nice to have my car started.

    Installation Is A No Go

    This item had the features I was interested in having, but upon arrival for installation, my Geek Squad installer said that it was a nightmare to install and asked me to change to a different remote start system. Hands were tied since I had already driven a long distance for the install appointment. Don't feel like I got all the same features, and they charged me more $$ too. Why would Best Buy sell this item if their own installers basically refuse to install it?

    I purchased the non bluetooth version at first. But then Realized the benefit of having bluetooth so I can avoid the annual fee to use my phone. So highly recommend this over the non bluetooth version.

    On a cold morning with ice on the windshield its nice to start my car inside. By the time I get my shoes and coat on and get outside my car is warmed up and windshield is defrosted. Couldn't be better!

    Great product with a five star rating. The only minor nuisance noticed is that there is a delay in the vehicle starting once the remote has been used to send the signal.

    I bought this for my wife birthday and she loves it. She works at a hospital and has a long walk to her van after work. Now she loves getting to her van with it already warmed up for her.

    I would recommend adding the two way remote for a lot longer range and to get confirmation of commands. Bluetooth app only works for 30 - 50 ft with no barriers in between. Ok for driveway.

    Very frustrated

    So I was in the market for an alarm system with remote start. I was told about this product and I purcashed it. After the installation I found out that it did not come with the alarm function only unlock and lock and remote start. I jad to purchase another item to make this an alarm and remote start. The Bluetooth is horrible I can not do anything unless I am right next to the vehicle. It will not work if I am inside my house. Also I had to purchase an additional remote because the only remote that comes with the product is a remote start and to unlock the vehicle without starting would be impossible. The new remote cost 99.00 and is very sensitive. Most vehicles require to push a button multiple times in a row to start vehicle. I have walked to my truck carrying things to find the truck running. Key in my pocket. If I could return the whole thing back I would but I had it installed by them. Now what do I do. Also about the Bluetooth feature if you start the vehicle with your phone right next to the vehicle you still have to get your keys out to insert into the vehicle to drive off. So what’s the point.

    The great price got my attention, but the features sold me. And the best part was the Best Buy installation experience. Top notch personnel and support, very pleased and highly recommended. Thanks.

    Absolutely love it! Used my Geedsquad protection and got discounts on the parts and the installation. Technician estimated install would take 1.5 hrs. Took less than an hour. Very courteous

    I’m the type of person that is cold with a simple blow of the wind, so I hate winter. I bought this so my car can heat up with out me freezing my butt off to go outside and start it. I love this product, and warmth. Definitely recommend.

    Ehh it’s mediocre. Purchased it in October 2023 and already have to bring it in April 2024 for repair. Less than 4 months and already having to bring it in…not too reliable.
