Not DIY friendly!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Stay away if you are a DIY'er. The kit does not come with the main harness required to actually install it. You have to buy the T-harness separate. They do this to encourage you to use their installation service, which is included, however the wait in my area is 3 months long. If you want to do your own install, stay away from this one!

Great product. Bad installation
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Like the product but, the installation process has been a headache. Very unfriendly and not willing to help. I understand that there is wait to have something installed after Christmas but, not even willing to call me if there is a cancellation is just bad.

Regret my purchase!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely horrible purchase and all around experience with this item and Best Buy! Best Buy apparently couldn’t install this item in my 2014 F150 and completely destroyed the wiring in my vehicle. Not knowing my husband is an ASE certified mechanic, they blatantly lied and gave some crappy excuse about his “brakes” bring the cause. Bought husband and different one from different company and he installed it himself in less than two hours.

Not as advertised
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They advertise 150 foot range for the Bluetooth app. Does not come close, even a Best Buy employee told me after I called to ask for help that the real range is about 40 feet max. It does start the car but the range is not good. Cheaper options out there that do just as good of a job

Not impressed
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not impressed. It starts when it wants. I go outside on break and it's already started like it starts by itself I'm going to see if they can fix it because I can't deal with that I can't get the app working

Terrible Service Tech
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Rude service. I had Viper remote installed at Jordan's Landing in July and still haven't been able to get the phone app to work. I was never given instructions or even a receipt. Very poor impression and a kid tech needs training on customer service.

No one at store can install
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased it on Black Friday special with the installation included and I had to make an appointment after I got the remote start in and still cannot get it installed.. I have an appointment at another best buy that's 2 hours away because the store and Cape Girardeau Missouri does not have someone that can install it. Trying to contact Best Buy's customer service was one of the worst experiences I've had the people at their home office don't want to talk to me don't want to help couldn't understand what I was trying to say and left me the impression that did not care I still plan to have them install it whenever they can get around to it someday but I may give up and have to get a refund and get it done somewhere else not sure yet just wish they cared..

Remote start
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Installation is not included. I was told I would have to purchase the installation package and would be able to get a refund the day of the installation. That was a lie, so I just returned everything.

Beware of possible future issues
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Don’t do it. Purchased remote start on my suv and it caused my vehicle’s computer system to stop communicating. I didn’t know what was wrong, took it to a car mechanic who specializes in electrical issues and $823 later I found out they had to pull it out for my car to vehicle to start back working properly. Tried to go to Best Buy to rectify and still no help or resolution.
