I can start my car from my Apple Watch. I love that, heat or cool your car before you get in it.

I purchased the remote start system as a Christmas present for my wife, and although I'm familiar with automotive electronics, decided to have the Geek Squad install it both because they have the experience to do the job quickly and neatly, and because the remote starter ties into multiple vehicle systems. The results exceeded my expectations: the Viper remote start system works like factory original (or better) with excellent range and great security. Just as important, everything looks like factory original - almost all of the system is invisible, with the wiring neatly cabled and properly secured (I got under the dash and checked), and the only visible component, the antenna, is tucked almost invisibly above the rear-view mirror, matching both the color and layout of the mirror mount, with the wiring perfectly hidden behind the headliner. The Viper system comes with one remote; I had a second installed, which was programmed to the system at no additional charge. My wife absolutely loves both the convenience and the appearance, and looks forward to getting into a warmed and running car during the upcoming Michigan winter. I am equally pleased; in addition to my wife's reasons, I'm very happy that my gift to her was so well done and greatly appreciated. Thank you Viper, and thank you Tripp and Holland Best Buy!

Great starter for the price. I'm glad it came with the installation. Wouldn't recommend it for a 2011 Chevy Equinox. My car kept fighting with the geek squad tech which caused the installation to go from 3 hours to 5 hours not to mention some parts were dead on arrival. Overall I would buy one again. It does help the car I think run better, the ac is cooler just getting it started up a few seconds earlier.
