    This product honestly made me skeptical initially due to the great deal I got when purchasing it but after having it installed and getting the opportunity to finally use it, I'm blown away with the quality of the product. This product has more than surpassed my expectations and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great quality remote starter.

    The quality of customer support at Best Buy just downright awful. I purchased this as a Christmas gift, tried to schedule the install, was told that the store no longer has an install tech. I was then told I have to schedule an install with another store 45 miles away. Best Buy ordered the harness and scheduled the install which would be 2 months out. On the day of the install I was contacted and told the wrong harness was ordered, they would have to order the correct harness, and they cancelled the install. Was told it would be another 2 months. The unit itself might be good, don’t know, but I’m tired of wasting 4 months to find out. Do better Best Buy.

    Wife is really happy with this. Works as expected. She has the little remote on her keys, and i use the app from my phone if i need to turn it on. So nice to have heat or AC on before getting to the car. Range/connection from phone app is lower, so i have to open the front door to get it to remote start the car. No big deal.

    I got this for the cold winter months. It has been a game changer. It does what I need it to do. I got this particular one for the app starting feature. Sadly that part of it doesn’t work. You basically have to be within 20 feet to use the app.

    Purchased for my daughter as holiday present. Installers in Braintree, MA were GREAT. They did advise me that they had issues with this one drawing off the battery due to the bluetooth capability. My daughter was not going to use her phone to start car so replaced with non-bluetooth enabled one. She loves that one. Unit may be good but in cold New England weather did not want her dealing with a dead battery searching for bluetooth signal she will never use.
