    The tool says it does but after 14 hours two separate appointments the installers could just not get the product to work on the Lexus RX they tried and tried but it just wouldn’t work.

    Worst product ever. It had problems almost immediately after it was installed. Brought the vehicle back into Best Buy where it was installed. If the remote start was used the vehicle would not shut off no matter what we did. Techs were great. They redid the install and it worked for about a week. Now the remote start doesn’t work at all and is killing the battery.

    Works well, I had factory remote start which I preferred better. Overall does the job, just a little slower starting up.

    I wish the sales person would have suggested that I pick a date before I gave it as a gift. It won't be installed until 1/24, almost the end of winter. We won't get much use out of it this year.

    Beware Additional Items Must Be Purchased

    I purchased the Viper Remote Start with Installation Package under the assumption that I was receiving everything needed to install the system right away. Lo and behold, once contacting Geek Squad for install appointment, I'm told I have to drive over an hour away to purchase the T harness for my vehicle for $110 and oh btw, installation will be an additional $70. Just be forewarned that additional costs and effort will be involved. Why they couldn't ship the T harness to me, I don't know? Are they in trouble of being buried by Amazon, me thinks for sure!

    This product is very nice to have on cold mornings and having the app feature is nice. It took a little while to get used to not starting the car after starting it remotely but that worked out.

    Since its over a month to get BBY installation, can't really rate it at this time. As far as I know, looks like a good deal for this system.
