    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.

    Great, when it works properly, which is about 75% of the time. Have sporadic issues where the vehicle will not start. Will also randomly lock doors when it shouldn't. Would not recommend. Spend a little extra for better options.

    Item is not good. I do not recommend. My auto start pretty much works when it wants I walk outside in freezing weather to find my car not on after I have 2 keys programmed. Only works when next to car. Says I have quarter mile range and it don’t even work when I’m down the street.

    This only starts maybe 25% of the time. Best Buy couldn’t even install it until after the return period was over. Also my trunk has an auto close button and since install if I use the button, it closes but doesn’t latch. So my car now has LESS functionality than before I did this “upgrade”.
