Is this one good or should I wait for the drone for $299 to go in sale again. I'm not sure the benefits of the more expensive version.
If you want to pay for the ability to start it with a phone, then get the drone. I don't personally think it is necessary.

Ah, I think Iike that idea better instead of adding another remote to my key chain. Is there a fee for the drone though?

If you're going to spend $299 then I would go with the IDATASTART. It has twice the range as the compustar and you get 2 Two-way remotes instead of 1 two-way and 1 one way from compustar.

It unlocks your car as far as the remote signal can reach.

What is the difference between 2 way and 1 way remotes as in function?

1 way blindly sends the signal but has no way of knowing if it was received. 2 way sends an acknowledgement back to the fob

It must be the smartphone that caused me difficulties scheduling etc. Because it was a big loop trying to schedule install appointment. I did live chat through best buy and they sent me to live chat with scheduling department. Had to wait a month to get the actual install. Bought the idata one when it was on sale for bf or cm one of those 2. It will be nice once it's Installed

Make sure you schedule your appointment while purchasing this. That way any accessory, t-harness etc would be bundled and included in the purchase price. I did not schedule an appointment while purchasing and I was asked to purchase the t-harness separately.

You can use this link to see what stores and dates are available for install.

USE THIS AS A GUIDE.DO NOT USE IT TO MAKE THE APPOINTMENT. IT MIGHT NOT BE FULLY UP TO DATE.

If you find a place then CALL that store to make actual appointment.

Thank you. This might be a dumb question but I'm given 4 options to select under "Remote Start & Security":

- Remote start installation
- Remote start & security
- Remote start & smartphone
- Remote start & security & smart phone

Should I select the last one for this device in OP post?

Good choice. Double the range for $50 more

Set a deal alert for the IDATASTART so you will get notified when the deal comes back
