    Good product, poor installation

    The item itself is good, however the installation process was very poor. We had to go back because the wires were left too long and the glove compartment could not close once it was open. I was having trouble with the automatic starter and had to go to another Best Buy for them to correct the first installation and made it finally work properly. It should have been done right the first time.

    I purchased this on black Friday. It took over a month to get my car In to be installed but it was well worth the wait. The system worked just as expected.

    Work's well but could use a better remote

    The remote starter works as expected, but the remote that replaces my car remote does not have a lock/unlock button. I now have to lock the truck myself and it will only unlock if I use the remote starter feature, which has a 30 second delay because I have a diesel. SO I am left standing outside my vehicle until it unlocks. I would probably recommend another brand with a better remote.

    I chose this remote over others in the same price range because it could be used with my phone with the free app and no additional service fee, so in addition to starting my car remotely I could unlock it if i accidentally locked my keys in it. It works fantastically and is perfect for my needs. My only criticism is that the range for the phone app is only 150 ft without the expensive upgrade. But for my needs that isn't an issue.

    This remote starter does exactly what it says it will. I start my car in the morning when I’m getting dressed for work, and when I go outside it’s nice and toasty warm. It’s great!

    The only issue I have with this product is the inability to install firmware updates as a consumer. The instructions state to visit directedtech.com and download the updates. However, in order to do so you need to be an authorized Directed Dealer (i.e. Geek Squad, Car dealership, etc.) Make it more consumer-friendly. Sure a lot of us may not know how to install it, but some of us do.
