    Love the fact that this base remote start system has what you need to get started (hah) but also you can add on a premium remote (I added the two-way) and other components to make it better! Do yourself a favor and definitely add a better remote!

    Good remote start. I honestly like the other product that Best Buy sells but they were out of stock when I had them install it.

    Good basic remote starter. Limited distance for starting but that is what I was expecting from this unit. The only real downfall is the remote itself, it feels really cheaply made. So far though it does what it is supposed to do. For the price it was worth it.

    I was looking for a remote starter for both of the vehicles I drive. Viper remote starters are a great addition for your motor vehicles. Easy to use and understand.

    Remote works but sometimes you click it and it doesn’t work and you don’t know wether or not it worked until you walk out to your car and it’s not on. The app does not work well , does not have a good range

    Best Remote Start I've Owned

    I love this remote car started. Best Buy did an excellent job installing it. What I love most about this starter is that you only need to press the start button once. NO NEED TO HOLD THE BUTTON DOWN. That blew my mind. Geek squad gave me all its features and I did even have to ask.

    I like this starter because it so convenient to use most especially during winter and great purchase, budget wise! I’m driving a Toyota Tacoma 2018, it works well. Not so sure how long will the battery last, they installed it last month. We’ll see.

    I ordered and paid for a remote automobile starter for my husband's birthday. I'm in Florida, he's in Michigan and everything went extremely smoothly. He's very hard to buy for, or surprise. Thanks Best Buy for making it happen!

    I have had the same brand remote start in past vehicles and they have worked well. I expect the same from this one. Only down sides were waiting over 3 weeks to get it installed and the 4 hours it took to put it in.

    This remote starter is awesome, it's perfect for this cold weather, works like a charm. Upgraded the remote to 2-way so I know it's started when I can't see the vehicle. The installer was very friendly and knowledgeable about it and showed me all aspect of how it worked, couldn't be more hapoy with the purchase!
