    I have given this a 2 star. Not that I know anything about how the remote starter works. I purchased in on Black Friday. The earliest install was Jan. 2. Then I was told the installer was longer working there and I had to book another appointment, Feb. 13. They also wanted me to drive to the original location to pick up the part, over an hour away, to then drive in the opposite direction to get it installed. Finally they told me that they would make arrangements to have it transferred to the new location. I was told the install would take 3 hours, now they tell me it is an all day affair. Anyway, I might review again when I actually get the product.

    Bought this as a gift for my friend. Houston is changing every year and you need to warm your car up before you head out to work. Love having auto start on all of my vehicles so I know she will love this feature.

    Had this installed on my 2016 Chrysler Town & Country. The Bestbuy tech was friendly and professional. Installation only took a little over an hour. Able to start from my living room using iPhone. I like that it reads back that it started ok with a time stamp. For the price this is a great deal.

    This works great. Unfortunately my car got totaled (no fault of my own) a few months after I got it, but I had it all winter and it was really nice. Much cheaper than buying a new car! Keep in mind this tends to go on sale so you might want to watch the price for a while.

    The Geeksquad installation was quick (45 min) with the remote that's coming with it. As the range is limited to 5000 ft, I decided to go for the 2 way remote separately and I configured myself which took about 20 min. It's all good and so helpful for the morning hours in that wintery weather.

    Remote stater by Viper is a bargain for the price. Does everything that a more expensive model does.Installed by the Geek squad professionals. Did a top notch job and in a short amount of time. Very happy with the Viper remote start and the Professional people who took the order and the installation process.

    Best buy had an awesome sale that included free installation. Well as most of you know, older cars dont have the computer systems like newer cars. It took the installer literally 6/7 hours because programing just wasn’t as easy. I get the truck back and get it home and it stopped working. At thar point i wanted it removed but friends said just go back and see what they can do. I go back, the installer came out right away. Took him 3 seconds to program it and 3 weeks later its still working perfectly. Highly recommend Best Buy in Tinley Park and Quincy Greene the installer for never giving up!

    Installation was a breeze. The installer was very knowledgeable. Walked me through how it works and it does exactly what it is supposed to. Now my car is toasty warm when I'm ready to head out. Bought it on Black Friday for a great deal!

    My boyfriend got me this for Christmas. I had been wanting a remote car starter for a long time and I enjoy it. No more getting into a cold car in the winter! It does everything I could want it to do. Best Buy was great about the installation. My only complaint is that the process of syncing/pairing it with my iPhone app was very confusing and it took way too long to figure out--the directions in the instruction manual were very unclear.

    Best Buy was great about the install and very straight forward. In case you run into the issue I did, here's a tip for getting your install scheduled. In my case the stores that had the unit in stock had no install appts. So I ordered with the install. I then went to geek squad and setup a "standalone" install at another store that had appts available. On install day I brought my order receipt with me and they honored the free install. This unit comes with a one way remote. I grabbed a 2 way off eBay for $50. The unit also has Bluetooth but that only works as far as your Bluetooth range. Still worth setting up in case you lock your keys in the car. The unit also has an optional cell add-on module which allows you to start from nearly anywhere via phone app.

    Nothing exceptional about this one, and it only came with one key fob starter. It's a one way, so you just have to cross your fingers and hope it starts if you're unable to see your vehicle when starting it up. I do like that you can program your regular key fobs to work as extra starters, and if you want a two-way fob, you can buy an additional one to have programmed with this starter as well. Trust the brand, it does just what I need it to. Haven't messed with the Bluetooth connectivity to my smart phone just yet! Kind of forgot about it!
