    Installed poorly but works. Ceiling now has bend in it away from window. Common mistake they pull too hard and go too quick. Item works well but Bluetooth range sucks.

    So, I called to see if I needed a harness - even though I was told by a bestbuy.com chat agent that I could just make an appointment and have it installed without purchasing anything additional. I called the Wilkes Barre PA location after setting an appointment and found out that I need to purchase a harness. So I did. Can't understand how the Chat Agent 'Helen K.' got it wrong and why it didn't come up as recommended - when I entered the order and vehicle make and model on the Best Buy website. Gene from the location was very helpful -- only took 1 chat, 3 phone calls and about an hour.

    This unit is probably great for standard cars, the tech could not install it on a Lexus.

    Bought this for my Wife's Toyota Rav 4 last March and it worked fine for the 1st couple months and now the remote works intermittently. We have changed the battery but it does not make a difference. Also the remote is cheap plastic and the part that attaches to the key ring broke 4 months in.

    Have had nothing but trouble with this remote. Started with it not working half the time. Now almost all the electronics in the car will not work. Actually locked me inside the car and would not unlock the doors. Takes dozens of tries to open the gas cap door. Now the windows will not roll down. Afraid it has permanently damaged electronics in the car.

    Never got to use it, when they couldn't install it since techs were out that day (I bought this on super sale around black friday and took the first available install appointment which was 30 miles away and after Christmas) had to make 2 trips and the 2nd one was not the charm either so they refunded me. Now I will have to buy it at full price if I want one again instead of over half off like I ordered.

    I only give this a two start because this remote start if far from perfect. I'm not sure it's a technician's fault or a bad product or both. This thing is great when it works but it fails a lot. It fails to start my truck and also to open it or lock it. Very often it will crank my engine and continue to do so but it won't start, something that my truck has never done. Wish I had gone somewhere else.

    Garbage

    Smartphone software is garbage. Does not pick up 150 feet away. You literally have to be standing next to the vehicle to start it. Stupid to cut out all the old good working remotes for a smartphone application that is not ready yet. Unit is overpriced to offer you a one button remote control that starts it up immediately by pressing the button instead of unlocking or locking.
