    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.

    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.

    Bestbuy had this on their daily deal when I got it for less than $250. During installation I got charged extra $69 for the T-Harmess which was already included in the package. This product required you to stand right next to it to start. You have to be in the line of the sight for both the remote and app to start any functions. I personally don’t recommend this but if you want to give it a shot go ahead.

    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.
