    Be sure to read the fine print

    "free" geek squad service ended up costing well over $100. The presentation on the site said it was a package deal - the item and the installation. Hidden deep in the fine print was the "special circumstances." charge, which ended up costing the recipient of this gift well over $100. Pretty disappointed that Viper and BBY would market an offer like this.

    Not a complete system

    I bought this as a gift for my daughter. When she tried to make an appointment, they told her she would need additional parts and labor which would push the price over $410. What a disappointment. We returned the product and went to a local shop where they installed a much nicer 2-way unit for $450. I know they say additional parts may be required but that's ridiculous - there should be some way to estimate the total cost before purchasing this piece.

    Function But Remote Is Poorly Designed

    Posted .

    I've never had trouble with the starter per se, however, the remote is plastic and constantly breaks. I'm on my third casing. Each time the company sends me a new one, but it takes time and is a huge hassle. This is my second Viper product. The other is/was for my car. It too broke and because it could not be found, the company would not replace it. I've tried the 800 number a couple times-they are very friendly but it takes a long time to connect. At any rate, the product shows promise, but a better design would make all the difference.

    Worked for only a year. The following winter it didn't work at all. Battery in remote was still good so something wasn't right.
