Buggy. Should've gotten the mfg. version.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought it as a gift for my daughter. This is a messed up worthless device. Worked just until warranty expired. Now whenever she uses it to start the car, it sets off the alarm. She lives in an apartment complex and her neighbors aren't too thrilled with this glitch.

Better options out there
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After purchasing this, the Best Buy installer recommended returning it and purchasing a Compustar model. He explained that several of the Vipers had not performed very well and he had never had an issue with the Compustar. I had him install a two way communication model and I'm very happy with it.

Viper remote start
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is exactly what the title states. However, I am not impressed. The only plus side is being able to control from phone.. but what good is that if you have to literally be next to the car to lock or unlock. I had a Viper remote start in previous vehicle and it was amazing. The range was good. Never had any issues. With this particular model, the range is not good at all. I have to be quite close to the car to start it.. not very convenient for the cold mornings. Also, I’m not sure if it’s a wiring or device issue.. but the bright blue flashing sensor light has been malfunctioning. This can most certainly cause unwanted attention from police officers, as blue lights of any kind are illegal in WA state. Make sure to do any and all research before you purchase. I wouldn’t buy this product again. One last thing, the remote on this product looks and feels very cheap, and I guess these days the decent remote costs a couple hundred bucks. You can add features later on, but I find that to just be another way to get more money compared to old products where you could just pay your $400-600 and get everything all at one time. Another way to just keep taking money from customer in my opinion.

Disappointed
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It does not work at a distance. I press remote lights blink on the remote and i think car started. Get outside and it’s not running. I specifically asked online before purchasing if the remote showed The car was running and was told yes. There isn’t a way to know. Disappointed. Also they provided me no information to use the app on my phone.

waiting for it to be installed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's kind of hard to review an item when you're still waiting for it to be installed. I picked up this Viper remote car starter Nov. 29, 2020. The earliest I could schedule it for installation by Best Buy was Mar. 6, 2021 (over 3 months). Most of Winter will be OVER by then.
