Customer Ratings & Reviews

It works great,! Very easy to use! Love it in Northern Minnesota! Two remotes are great!

Works as described. A really good option on a budget. If it had a few more programmable options in the app it would get 5 starts. In a 2016 Honda Odyssey with a push button start, the engine shots off when you open the door. It’s a good safety function, however, I wish it could be tied to the push button start rather than the dome light.

Excellent remote starter for those cold winters. Already 2 years works perfectly. Cute remote, plus my friends were amazed to see that it has an app for a 2008 suv.It worls quite a long distance, long range

Best remote start out there have this in four of my vehicles. (Harness sold separately) The only thing to keep in mind is the phone option. Yes it comes with a free version of the app which is absolutely worthless. 95% of the time it will not work unless you are 5 feet away for the car. The free app is great for emergency reasons like if you lock your keys in the car. If you want full use of the app you MUST buy the app add on which is about an additional $200 + $100 a year for the service.

Installed by the Geek squad and works as it says. Very convenient for cold days. Just remembering to put the key in the ignition and turning before applying the brakes is the thing. Human error lol

Bob did a great job on the installation of the Viper DS4+ Remote Start System at the Mansfield, OH location. It is easy to use and has been great on some of the colder mornings before heading to work. You can get upgrade remotes but I have been fine using the remote provided or using my original car remotes as well. Bob did a great job reviewing how to use both the include remote and how my original car remotes could work as well. Being a total tech support member gave me free installation as well.

This product exceeds beyond my expectations. I have purchased this specific remote start 3 times already and already looking to install it on my daughter’s car. Speaking of installation I didn’t have to lift one finger because of the free installation it comes with. Best Buy’s Expert tech service Makes it so you have nothing to worry about

Well never had a remote started so dont know where to begin. Bought it for the winter time as it is cold and I can now start my car from the 4th flr of the building the parking lot is about 75 ft away. I start it at home from my bed and sometimes while in stores shopping I start it up from inside without going near to door. Only thing is you cant tell that it start from the fob( that would be the more expensive version) got a deal on it so love it as it does what I want. Have an older vehicle as well and was very surprised it worked.

This remote starter has been great. When I first used it, it would mess up my bluetooth audio in my car, but no issues since then and I’ve had the starter for a year now. Having it installed by Best Buy was also great and pretty quick. I just browsed around the store while the work was being done.

Came in one night, and a Best Buy clerk helped me find a Viper system that wouldn't require an annual subscription and would work with my car (2016 Ford Fusion). The earliest appt I could get was 3 or 4 weeks later. And, it went downhill from there. Ultimately, the installation tech did a great job. However, I recommend calling the location to verify your appt. Also, there was a debate about whether I should have purchased the items I wanted when I set up the appt versus buying them when I came in for the installation. I'm still trying to pair my Remote Start system with my phone. Doing so requires the "valet" button, and I don't have that particular remote handy. So, if you get the DS4+, take a minute and ask the tech to help you pair your phone.

Product is pretty straight forward. It should be noted that the T-Harness for your specific vehicle is not in the box (although the website indicates it is included). It will be selected by the tech during installation at no additional cost.

I would give it 5 stars if the Smart start app Would actually turn ur vehicle from further then what it is at least 1 miles but it’s not :( Other then that it’s great also comes with a small control which has longer reach but you can’t tell if your car turned on or not. It’s good tho!!

The Viper SmartStart works as advertised. The install was excellent and workmanlike by Mark, the tech at BestBuy. The documentation was substandard requiring me to have Viper send additional information and to have to call and or go back to BestBuy. Viper's packaging claims to be able to start car from 'virtually anywhere' but this is not the whole truth because it implies that unit will work over the cellular telephone network. However, in order to do so, you have to spend another $200 nearly doubling the cost.

Excellent product. The distance it works from is incredible

This is an excellent remote starter with a fairly low price compared to other similar products. I purchased this from Best Buy and they installed it for free (as a TotalTech member). What I love about this the most is its simplicity. If you want just the ability to turn your car on and off, you can get this basic module. If you want to add some additional features later like a long range starter, you can simply buy the module and add it to this system. Another pleasant surprise was the ability to use my car’s factory smart keys to start the car, making the use of the additional fob optional (and quite frankly unnecessary). With my current set up which is just this basic model I can start my car by using the included fob, the mobile app (within Bluetooth range), or by using either of my two factory keys.

Definitely worth the price I got it on Black Friday does come with free install so I had Best Buy do it and they know what they are doing I haven’t had any issues with it, installed on my 02 Silverado diesel good for those winter days

Great remote starter. Simple and straightforward to use. I would definitely recommend buying it from BestBuy for the free installation. I shopped around and other shops were selling it for more and charging $100 to $200 for installation

This was a Christmas gift for my son in New Hampshire he absolutely loves it it was the best movie I spent all year I highly recommend it he put it on a 2023 Toyota Camry and it works flawlessly through the walls and a great distance I highly recommend this and to get it installed at Best buy that was painless and everything was online

It's a great product, especially at the Black Friday price of $199. The mobile app is a nice feature but the 150 feet range listed isn't even close. My guess is 50-80 feet. The key fob works good, but is only a 1-way, meaning you don't get noticed of a successful start. Also, the range is fairly limited when trying to remote start while in a certain buildings. I am considering upgrading the 7616v (1-way, 1/2 mile range) that came with this to the 7816v (2-way, 1 mile range) which I heard is amazing. Only problem is, that upgrade sets you back an additional $79. It's worth the buy for the price and the Best Buy installers are very professional and do an outstanding job.

The install was super fast. The techs answered all of my questions without any problems and they were able to ease my mind about any electrical problems that may arise. Overall my device works great and the service and attention at Best Buy was stellar!
