Pretty good price for LTE version. Probably the cheapest I've seen it. Comes with free installation and harness.

Great deal for $280, usually it's $350.

I bought this at $350 earlier this year and it's been mixed experience.

The installation was a total mess because they cancelled the initial install and to reschedule it took a lot of phone calls, my worry was that the new date would fall out of the return window.

After the installation, it worked well for a couple of months, I bought 5 year of Drone subscription for $180 which is great.

After that I started getting "tach sensing failure" when trying to remote start, essentially the car would crank but not start. I had some serious issues with the car not starting (both with key and Drone/remote) and also cutting off the engine while driving which is pretty dangerous, replacing battery didn't solve it. Now this could be other things like fuel pump/pressure, I took it to multiple mechanics and they couldn't fully figure it out (it's a reliable 2016 CRV) however it magically went away now for 2 months+ after I recalibrated the remote with my car, no more "tach sensing failure" and car not starting. My hypothesis is that the remote starter brain wasn't letting the car start and shutting it off because it lost connection to the keys and thought it was being stolen, other hypothesis is that my fuel pump/line was clogged and it just unclogged, I'm 50/50 on it since it never got fully root caused.

Overall: the product itself is great, being able to heat and cool the car in the Northeast is great, however you may have to deal with issues and know how to root cause it yourself, if you go to a local mechanic they'll just do random stuff or just recommend you to remove the remote starter. Also, BB gotta do better at scheduling.

If you get this I highly recommend Drone app, the $180 for 5 years for lowest tier is a great option.
TotalTech price is $169.99
No, it's free installation with purchase. People on slickdeals would not buy if installation is not free.

Thanks for mentioning this. However, I was wondeing, is there a way by which one can see the Total Tech price. Also, One question- Can one join a totaltech membership (which I beleive is 199$) today and then buy this at the lower price? So, technically, one would get totaltech membership for only 90$ extra.

If it's compustar, then yes. Just swap the module and reprogram. Super simple, barely and inconvenience.

Anyone know if this would work for an Audi Q5 2016? It says it won't work. But i know most of the time it's because of the chip in the key and all you need to do is leave the key in the car.

You can add the TT to your cart with the starter and the price will drop to $169.99. Total for the starter and TT is $369.98
