    This is a great remote starter. With the two way remote it’s got great range and battery life. The Bluetooth smartphone control has surprisingly good range. I’d say around 150 feet through a wall.

    Device installed on March 26th and less than 2 months later (May 11th) started having issues with my car. Car would not start so I called my insurance thinking it was my car battery, they confirmed it was not the battery but the starter that needed to be replaced which I did the following day. Less than a week later (May 18th) as I was driving on the beltway on a Saturday afternoon w/my 2 sons, all the lights turned on right before my car turned off on the highway. I was fortunate enough to be able to get to the shoulder quickly as I was on the far right lane, had I been on the far left lane it would've caused a major accident possibly killing my kids and I. After paying to have my car towed and sent back to the shop, for a 2nd time, they determined that this was an electrical issue caused by the VIPER installed and recommend that it be removed. It was a hassle to get Best Buy Store manager to agree to remove the device even after informing them of the negative reviews on the Best Buy store site pertaining to this device and what I had already been through. The manager did not want to hear about the reviews and suggested that the dealer had sold me a "lemon" instead of taking the time to read the reviews himself. My car was running perfectly fine until they installed the device, I've always kept up with maintenance plus had just passed inspection less than 2 weeks ago so it was obvious the issue was the device and not my car. In total I spent $1600 to fix my car and I've been trying to get a hold of a live person at Corporate HQ but all you get is sent to an overseas call center where you get bounced around. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS DEVICE!!!
