    Hate it. I was told once I start it to pump the brakes for about 2 seconds and when I do the car will be ready to go, but instead it cuts off. I turn it on and have to repeat this cycle 3x before my car stay on. On top of that; with the keys in my hand and no button being pushed, my car cut on by itself when trying to come into work. This cycle was also 3x before the car stayed off. I absolutely hate it.

    I have not been able to experience my product due to no installation time yet! I had to change original schedule due to work obligations and when the appointment was rescheduled, the scheduler screwed up what was being installed and I showed up for the appointment only to be turned away because it is a 2 hour install.

    Best Buy had no appointment for the installation although I was receiving reminders of my appointment. we returned the remote car starter since we felt that Best Buy’s lack of customer service was not worth our patronage.

    When I ordered I was told there was free installation, what I didn't know was that I couldn't get an appointment for over 2 months and that no one else wanted to install it either. I returned it and bought another one elsewhere.

    Not what you expect. App only works if you are basically standing at the car. Remote has very little range as well. You can pay a monthly fee for more features, but you also have to pay an extra 100+ dollars for additional parts. Best Buy installation was awful as well. Broke my arm rest on my door, and when they put the dash back together they covered my hood release. Go elsewhere with a different starter

    can only get a 2yr warranty. System worked great for 2 yr 4 months. Now when I lock it, the horn honks which is normal and then the alarm beeps which is not normal. The driver door is not locking either and the sound sensor is not going off when you let the door handle snap back in. This is an alarm that would go off in a heavy down poor so I know something is not right.

    This product is horrible. No one can figure out of the install is wrong or the product just sucks. So far it wont turn on when its suppose to, it locked the car for 20 minutes and no one could get in our out, and it locked the ignition so on one could get in our out.
