Got in the last time this was on sale. Be prepared for a wait for the install. I was scheduled to have mine installed on Monday 8/17 but Bestbuy did something to the installers schedule. Now my install date has been pushed back to Sept. 15th. The tech was really nice and after a short chat he said I could pick the items up.

After an internal debate, I decided to bite the bullet and went for a self-install. I have taken my car dash and center console apart, so it was trivial for me to do so. However, it took me 2 hours to finally find an install manual specifically for my car. Another 2 hours later and it is installed. However, the module requires programming and to do that I need another $40 part.

So for what its worth. You can have the bestbuy guys do it (assuming you get a good vibe from the installer) or find a manual and do it yourself (Would not recommend unless you are handy).

All in all I would install it again myself, so that I dont have to wait and I have heard horror stories too....

Great deal! Had it installed last year on my wife's car and installation/1 year of use has been amazing. Bought again for my car but never got the schedule appointment option during checkout like I did last time so not sure if installation is included or not despite it seeming it is

Bestbuy couldn't keep installers and had no installers for a span of stores and then would loan them to other stores creating massive backlogs and this was before COVID. Many installers would messup and then would not be allowed to work and then would have to get installers from other locations adding to the long delays. I bought mine 2 years ago in Nov and did not get it installed until March 2019.



Post Covid for example in the PA are I have no installation for almost 50 miles and the install locations show up for Delaware and NJ and that too months out.


Unit is good and the installs (2) are working fine except for 1 remote not being able to be paired and BB having to reset the programming last year. I wish I would have bought a 2nd unit prior to install as the tech said he'd have setup/configured the 2nd remote without any additional charge. Note only 1 remote is 2 way.

If your car has one available it should show up on your order at checkout

Sometimes you can find used 2way remotes on eBay. You just program the remote yourself.

I want to get this for my old van. However the installation date is 7 weeks out around Oc 7th. What if the remote doesn't work can I still return it?
Searching for best buy return policy doesn't answer this particular question.

When ordering this, I had to be on a desktop in order to get the schedule to show up. On mobile it did not show the option to schedule online. I got this installed last winter and really enjoyed having it. The only downside is that on my car when I lock the doors I only get the audible lock from the key fob, and not the car horn. Most likely because the remote system is routed directly to the door locks. Make sure to request longer than the default 15 minute run time if you need it. Only the installer can change that, unless the part for $40 from the other poster allows this?

Got this the last time the deal was offered, sometime last winter, for my wife. It's a great system. She can start her vehicle while we're standing in line at the grocery store for instance, and it gives an audible alert that the vehicle has successfully started. I'm very happy with it still
