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 Rookz :
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.

No, I'm saying you getting upset on these threads is a waste of time and achieves nothing, but you could do something that would actually be productive, but you're upset with me for pointing it out.

Quote from TNTRMSKD :
Can anyone confirm that with TT all extra parts needed for installation are free? My car, 2019 Hyunda Kona needs a $12.99 relay kit AND an iDatalink harness that's $149.99. If I add those it's pretty much the price of a TT membership.
Can't guarantee it, but when you go through the checkout process it usually adds the harnesses and such you need. Ive done about a dozen or so of these compustar best buy deal installs for myself, friends and family and have never had an issue, except one. After jumping my car, the remote start didn't work. Took it to best buy and they reprogrammed it for free under the lifetime warranty.

In all of those installs there was only one time there was an extra charge and it was like $15 for a relay. This has been across all classes and models of cars from regular to luxury to sport.

It really comes down to the skill of the installer but luckily with the T-harnesses and advancement in the technology it's not like 20 years ago where you had to manually splice 40 wires all over the car and cut up a valet key. 😂

I may beat myself up later in 3 months when it is freezing outside, but I just canceled my order along with TotalTech.

I purchased on 8/28 and had an install date for 9/2 at my local BB. They then changed the pickup date to 9/8 and wanted me to take another install date about 2-3 weeks after. Meanwhile, I called BB customer service and they swore it would be at the store by 9/1. They even gave me the UPS tracking number but my local BB wanted to go by the 9/8 date and "gave my appt time to someone else".

Spoke to store manager and told him this is not what I signed up when they insisted they could refund me for the starter but not refund me for TotalCare. After a bunch of calls they were able to do it. Good luck to whoever got in on the deal AND has a capable local BB to do the install

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.
https://www.compustar.com/remotes...ystemId=70 This is what you're looking for. You won't be getting it for $279 though.

Probably a stupid question, but does this work for electric vehicles? Or are there any restrictions / considerations?

I would definitely get this if the "car alarm" function was included. Adding the car alarm is another $120 installed at Best Buy.

Car alarm + Remote start would run you $279 + $120 = $400+ tax.

Not sure if this worth getting due to it being just a remote start. Perhaps it just might depend on where you live and the weather conditions in those areas.

Your post made me think it was on sale again. I'm kicking myself for not having ordered it.

As for the alarm, I'm of the opinion they don't do anything. I'd spend the money on the GPS subscription instead.

Getting this installed today through Best Buy. The Best Buy installation representative told me that the basic installation is free, but if I want the functionality to use GPS tracking and remote start features through my phone the installation would be an additional $40.00

Sounds reasonable, but I wanted to make sure that other SDers are experiencing the same. Thank you!
