    Awesome! Tap on a clip to paste it in the text box. This automatic start is the best. I recommend it because it works fine.

    The controller has good distance. Shuts off automatically. All functions work great. Only issue is the app. Won't connect to bluetooth unless your in close proximity and no objects obstruct the path.

    I love the viper remote. My wife had one that worked great. So, we purchased this and then when we went to our appointment to have it installed they said they couldn't so we had to purchase a different brand.

    Seemed like an easy installation. Use is easy as it's only one button. Havent been able to set it up on my phone as it wont sync. So will have to make another trip to best buy to get help with that.

    Great product. Was recommended this one due to the ability to use your smart phone for unlocking. You can also upgrade the remotes if you wish or add other features which I like.

    This was purchased for my wife’s 2016 Subaru Crosstrek, this was also installed by Best Buy. This works good. But I believe there are better options and at a more reasonable price.

    Bluetooth pretty much works standing next to the vehicle so at that point you'd be better off to just start it with the key. 3x lock, start feature from factory fob. doesn't work as advertising says. Bestbuy says apparently 2004 Chevy trucks aren't supported in this feature after two attempts at fixing it. That feature was the main reason for purchase for me. Because the little one way remote that comes with the system is crap. If I wanted to pay a couple hundred bucks extra for a better remote, would have just paid a couple hundred for a whole better system

    Awesome remote start that works from very far away and let's me know when doors are locked and not locked. Sean the installer (superstition springs store) was awesome and provided excellent customer service! Product did everything Sean said it would and would reccomend to anyone

    I’m not happy at all, the remote that came with it stopped working the next day after the starter was installed. My car only cranks with my own car remote.

    Everything works. Only complaint is the remote. There is no real way of knowing if your car is actually on until you go outside. But the remote is upgradable so it's not a huge issue.

    I have never had a remote starter before, so this was a pleasant surprise to find out how well it works. In line at the grocery store, start the truck from there. Works pretty well from 1000 feet or so. Maybe more. Very happy and install was great too.

    Best choice of an add to my car I’ve ever purchased. Being able to warm my car in the mornings without going outside is game changer. Best Buy did all the installing all I had to do was purchase the product.
