    I purchased the Viper for my 2016 Subaru Forester but once I got to my actual appointment a member of the geek squad recommended the Compustar for my vehicle. It’s been a great experience! I live in a apartment and I can literal start my car from my bedroom that’s over 1500ft plus. The staff was very professional and very knowledgeable. Thank you Shadowlake BestBuy staff. Professional staff

    Love the fact I can get warm before I get to work instead of when. Its hard to remember to crank my heat before I get out of my vehicle. I still haven't figured out how to connect my vehicle to the app yet. Definitely recommend!!

    I have given this a 2 star. Not that I know anything about how the remote starter works. I purchased in on Black Friday. The earliest install was Jan. 2. Then I was told the installer was longer working there and I had to book another appointment, Feb. 13. They also wanted me to drive to the original location to pick up the part, over an hour away, to then drive in the opposite direction to get it installed. Finally they told me that they would make arrangements to have it transferred to the new location. I was told the install would take 3 hours, now they tell me it is an all day affair. Anyway, I might review again when I actually get the product.

    Bought this for my Girlfriend’s daughter who has to leave for school by 6:45. The Michigan winters can be brutal at times. She was thrilled at no longer having to go out to start her car each morning now! Definitely would recommend

    The remote start is great. But the pit stop mode is awesome! You can leave your car running while locked to go grab something from the house or store real quick. Has a smart sequence before remote start can even be activated on a MT vehicle so don't worry about pressing a button while your parked car is in gear and watching it roll away. You can't activate remote start when in gear unless it got in gear while the car is locked.

    Purchased a brand new 2018 Toyota Camry SE Push to start, works beautifully. OEM remote works with 3x lock button start. Also. purchased a 2 way one button remote which was paired to the DS4. Bluetooth range isn't far, only for nearby startups. Works beautifully!

    I was looking for a remote starter and after speaking with the tech at the store we settled on this one... extremely happy with our purchase! We got the starter installed at BestBuy in a timely manner. The tech was done earlier than scheduled and explained the proper use of the starter. Afterwards we downloaded the Viper app and after a little self learning we paired it and now not only do we have the key starter fob but we can also use the app to start the vehicle. Starter works great and we have no complaints.

    Got this for the wife as a xmas present. Living in the north west the winter mornings are pretty cold. She is now able to start the car from inside the house and defrost the windows and have a nice warm cozy car when she gets in. Had it installed by Best Buy techs. Took 2 hours. Excellent job and professional.

    This system integrates well to most vehicles. For most vehicles it is just plug and play. Some vehicles may require additional troubleshooting from what I hear. I love the features, it works with factory key fob, and the phone app is cool too. The app does not have much of a range. Maybe 50 feet, but it also comes with a long range key fob. This unit is also expandable if any future upgrades are desired.

    Have been very pleased with the remote start. I was surprised that after a few days it quit starting. I went in to see Scotty, the technician, and he handled everything quickly and even showed me how to set up the phone app for remote starter system. As it turned out it was just an adjustment for the tach and nothing wrong with the system. As always the service was excellent and Scotty was very helpful.
