    Pretty good, if you remote start and forger to put the key in and press the brake to start the car as normal it puts the car into "Valet" mode and your lights flash for 3 minutes which is annoying. Other than that works great and has great range even through buildings.

    I purchased this product online on Black Friday for my daughter's Ford Escape. I have had Viper alarms in the past and have had no problem. But in the description it states that it comes with all harnesses. Everything needed to install. This is false. Once I arrive for my appointment I was required to buy a vehicle specific harness for additional $100. The staff did a good job. And I'm overall happy with the installation and performance. They did also discount the harness once I complained about the verbiage in the ad. Be aware that there will be an additional charge, and the installers are well aware. They 150-foot estimated range for the phone Bluetooth start is spotty at best. On my daughter's iPhone it seems to work at about that distance. On my Droid I need to be about 50 ft.
