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.

Quote from Tolkor :
Assuming this doesn't help with proximity unlock? I saw the "keyless entry" but I don't think it means "I can carry both my kids and have the car unlock itself as I get closer" sort of keyless entry. I guess I'm looking more for a "hands are full" entry. Anyone know of a module that I can install for that? Serious question that I've Google before but couldn't get any real traction.
I chatted with a guy that was going to flash a unit I have. He is a installer. Here is one thing he said in our chat.
=====
Right. .I actually setup a rfid just inside my mirror on my car, and bought a 433mhz ring so I wave my hand close to my mirror after I walk up and my car unlocks and starts automatically.
=====
Send me a PM and I will get you in touch with him for the info.

This is what he suggested.
======
This one u can pair the ring too, and just use the mcu box, and the pickup coils, and then you need a arduino 5v relayand hook it right to your remote start remote start external trigger wire.. as soon as that 1 wire senses a pulse it will start automatically.
======
You install a rfid unit or only the part you need and connect it to the remote start.

Quote from jfm123 :
i would definitely check with my dealer and see how much OEM remote start would be before getting this. I dont think it would ever be more than 600, so the retail price of this is kind of silly.

OEM remote start tends to be extremely reliable and hiccup free
OEM is garbage. Most of them are only one way so you can't know if your car actually turned over.

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.

Yes it will automatically apply if you added together

i tried for a 2004 BMW X3 and got a message saying cant schedule install atm, call store later. I am guessing they will make me buy more expensive parts before they schedule it? is it even doable? does this deal come around often (TTech price)?

No solution under any brand

Not an issue just a feature that Toyotas with push start have, no way around it.

Any one have this for a Tacoma? Heard there isn't a fix for when the door is open and it kills the engine when using remote start. Not sure if they found a solution for this.

I bet your Tacoma has a push start button if so it's not an issue it's a "feature" that Toyotas have, no way around it.

Yup. One day sale. It comes back every few weeks/months though, around $280-$350.

Quote from LunchboxBen :
Have you ever seen any legitimate business install one on a manual? I've had some people say cash only and no warranty/receipt. You're kidding yourself if you would think anyone would do that. I remember seeing lots of videos back in the day with people putting one on their car and it runs into a lake or something. Can't blame Best Buy for that. Like selling alcohol to a teenager and saying don't tell anyone.
They could have people sign a release. Why should I suffer because of idiots?

Nobody does that. If you don't like it, you don't have to post on every post because it's against their policy. Many companies are like that.

A lot of companies do that. That's the entire reason "liability release" is a thing in the first place. Not just for things like this either. Ever get your car tinted at a reputable place? Yeah, they'll have you sign a release stating that you won't hold them liable if you get a ticket for the tint. Ever go to a range and rent a gun? Sign a release. Bungie jumping? You guessed it. sign a release. Hell, I have a friggin release form for when I'm taking photos of clients in my home studio. It's mind boggling that a company as large as Best Buy can't come up with a two-page document that would allow them to make more money.

Maybe it costs more for them to install it, maybe it's just not worth the trouble because they've had issues with their installers doing it, considering they have 1,000 stores in the US. Sometimes it's not just a piece of paper. Why don't you call their corporate office or local store and ask instead of getting upset on here?

You seem to be more upset with me being upset than how upset I actually am with Best Buy for not installing this on manual vehicles. I left a single comment and you opened up an entire discussion about whether or not reputable places do it, then how nobody does releases, and now you're simping for Best Buy.
