    My Viper was just installed this afternoon. The technician was awesome. My test remote starts worked great. I am excited to use in the cold Indiana morning's.

    Would have been a good system but it only comes with one key fob. Shows you can connect it with your phone but it cost $70 a year subscription.

    Two bad things with the remote start. First - look at the box; it shows a large picture of a smart phone. But closer attention... it shows a tiny remote next to the smart phone. YES, that is what you are getting, a very small, cheap remote. This system is not compatible with you smartphone without a major upgrade. And the remote is CHEAP! I had to spend another $99 to buy a 2-way remote that was halfway decent. Be smart! Spend the extra $50 and but a CompuStar system to start!!!!

    Purchased this remote start with the intention to install it myself. They make you download an app called DirectLink which promps you to login or create an account. You need an account to access the firmware need to flash the starter as well as the installation guide. Unfortunately, "Only authorized dealers can login to the site." This explains why the box was already openned becuase someone probably realized like I just did that the manufacturer will not let customers who install it themselves and had to return it. You are forced to have Geek Squad install it even if youre more qualified.

    Despite asking two Best Buy associates, checking the Best Buy website online specs, and asking again when making the installation appointment, we got a call almost three weeks after purchase that this would not work on our manual car. Training? Help desk? Online info? Somewhere this information should be easily accessible.
