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.

The days of needing a 3rd key are pretty much gone. You may need two keys to set it up but none needed to flash the unit.

If you were to blame the unit (rather than install job or fuel pump line), would you guess it's the brain of this particular LTE model?

Like I said, I'm not totally sure but the car and remote starter has been working great for 2+ months now without that error or starting issue and all I did was follow a video instruction to relearn/reset the tach signal from the remote to the brain.
I would still recommend it if you live in hot or cold climate, but be wary in the first few months and go back to BB support if you see any issues at all.
But you just add the TT to the cart with a particular item to see it's TT price if it has one
