In some cases the "Geek Squad Auto" technician at your local Best Buy may have the know how, training, and access to parts to complete the install anyway but Best Buy doesn't have this information stored in its system - it's far easier for them to just say "sorry we can't do it" than to deal with the headache of a bunch of people complaining that the Geek Squad bricked their car or taking Best Buy to small claims court over a $10,000 bill from their local Porsche dealer for fixing a botched remote start job.
If you want to know for sure, call up the Geek Squad Auto tech at whichever Best Buy and speak to them. If you think they sound trustworthy and knowledgeable enough to work on your car and cut into your electrical system then sure do it.
I will say that I have been having issues with my Compustar remote start system with Drone Mobile that was installed into my 2017 WRX about 2-3 years ago by which I mean it no longer works period. The guy who did the work was experienced and knew his stuff, but there may have been some other factor that caused issues - i.e. my car had battery issues where the dealer had to replace the battery, don't know if that perhaps shorted something. Someone also busted up my front end and so the car had to go to a body shop - they were also reputable and did an excellent job, but who knows if they missed something that would've eventually caused problems with my drone mobile system? The caveat is that the remote start still works, I just can't it through the app - so is it a bug on Drone Mobile's side??
Any time there's aftermarket work done on the electrical system I'd say you have to be prepared for potential gremlins that can cause problems later on.
It will work just like the other unit with the added benefit that, if you change your mind in the future about using the Drone service, you can simply start a subscription.
I will say that there have been times when I'm in a building and don't get anywhere close to the 3000ft range this is advertised as. Having the Drone app makes it easy to ensure that I can start my car in those types of situations.

Just keep that in mind if you don't live in a major Metro area.
If you were on the fence then I wouldn't wait anymore. Its winter time and the free installation appointment slots will be gone especially near Christmas. I remember trying to get one last year near the same time and the only available slot was in February.
Plus this deal is slightly more expensive than the standard 2-way remote system deals with the added benefit for the LTE functionality.
I have a car that has the Compustar installed and would like to add the LTE module to it and then install the main module in another car without LTE.

Keep in mind that Best Buy isn't going to do the two separate vehicle installs for the one included price. But you could probably handle the Drone install yourself.
