- A: AnswerYes Best Buy DID NOT honor the "installation included" on the order form. They wanted an extra $200+ to install in my 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan. I ordered online and made an appointment at the Trumbull store for the "Included Installation". Upon arriving they refused to do the install at that appointment and wanted the extra money. The next available appointment was FIFTY day into the future! I spoke with the manager to no avail. I returned the remote starter for a refund. Very poor way to do business Best Buy!!!

Q: QuestionCan the remote that comes with this be used in place of the key that came with my car?(2 answers)
A: AnswerThe remote can be used to lock and unlock the door as well as start the vehicle. The key must be used to put in the ignition on position for the vehicle to keep running once the brake is engaged.Answered by Sony
- A: AnswerManufacturer website about page shows Compustar was started in the US by Firstech in 1995 and iDataStart was started in Canada by Automotive Data Solutions in 2005 -- looks like both companies partnered up in 2021 so I don't think you'll have a problem with either brand since they've been around for a while. Compustar kit is a few years old but its cheaper on sale -- it has 3000ft max range and comes with one 2way remote and one 1way remote. iDataStart kit looks like a recently upgraded version of their old HC3 system but costs more -- it has 6000ft max range and comes with two 2way remotes. Get the Compustar on sale if you're on a budget or don't need extra range otherwise pay more for iDataStart on sale for longer range and a second 2way remote. You won't get close to the max range with either system in the real world due to interference from other things so I would cut the range numbers in half to get a better idea of actual range for most people

Q: QuestionCan this set be used as a "spare key?"(2 answers)
A: AnswerYes and no. If you have key with the chip, you’ll need it to have with you to drive.Answered by Anonymous
- A: AnswerThat is totally normal. It prevents car from running engine all day long if you forget to turn it off. I got installed more than 8 cars and they all turned off in 15 minutes. ( i got compustar though)

Amazing range
Has an amazing range as described. Been working well for a year and a half. Used inside of a relatively large warehouse, worked from the other side through thick walls.

Excellent Starter for Push Button Cars
Very Cool remote starter, also has super long range remote. It's amazing how far i can start my car, 2-way confirmation is a plus. This Starter paired with my push button Start Acura TLX Aspec allows for take over mode, which is a plus. I also got Drone mobile with this Starter for unlimited range. Factory key-Fob also can now start my car. Geek Squad Installer was very professional and knowledgeable about the products installed in my vehicle. Installation took a little longer than expected, but the wait was worth it. Winter time is now comfortable with remote start. All cars should have remote start feature.

Fantantic Value for great product
We have had no problems with this unit. I love the two communication that verifies the car started. I loved this product so much, I had it installed in my truck. Now, I am going to have this same product installed in another vehicle.
