    To be quiet honest. This has to be the most regrettable and wasteful purchase I ever made Waste of $500ish . It just doesn’t work half the time. I follow the same steps to start the car, it works when it wants to. If someone has a manual transmission, I urge you not to make the same mistake and purchase this unit. I feel I should have donated the money . Let’s not even talk about how it took 2 months to schedule an appointment to get it installed. I’m incredibly unhappy with my purchase from every aspect. If someone from bestbuy or viper reads this, we can continue this conversation. I had a drone unit before and it worked seamlessly I’m aware the 6speed transmission is the reason why I’m having issues , but I shouldn’t be sold a unit that works whenever it wants. I follow the initiation steps and it works when it wants to.

    Don't get this unless you want to pay a monthly fee. I didn't read the fine print where we had to sign up for a monthly plan and now use the key fob to turn it on. I had to pay for the automatic start for the fob then another 200 for this for it not to work without a plan.
