I was able to catch a great deal last year thanks to SD and have been searching daily for several months for this model to come back down and it finally has. We currently have it installed on a 2015 CRV and have been happy with it and will be installing it on our F150. The range on this thing is phenomenal and should allow my son to start the vehicle from inside school on these cold winter months in the Midwest, something the factory installed remote start isn't able to do. I was able to snag it for $299 earlier this year (Jan 14th), however I've been watching nearly daily since August and this is the best price I've seen since. Note: we don't currently use the app so I can't attest to that but the range on this thing using the fob itself is phenomenal.

No app offered/necessary and therefore no fee. Cheaper when on sale/cheaper base price. 2 remotes. Assume no battery draw when not in use as is an issue with this listed one.
Amazing, been waiting for this model with the drone lte module for a while. Thanks for posting!

Also, when checking out make sure you do it through a location that offers the installation. When you pick your location when checking out there should be an installation package added that includes the wiring kit for your car make and have you set a time for the appointment. The earliest for me is January 3rd.

As another Midwesterner, the app is totally worth it for winter months, whatever the cheapest monthly plan was. I had this on my old car last winter and am already missing it this year. The fob range is really good but the app worked almost everywhere, including when I was parked in a parking garage and it was -10F so I REALLY needed it to work 😂 YMMV in parking garages. The keyfob range is also good. I have a 2017 F150 with factory remote start, this remote worked another 20-30' and through one more wall than my truck (different car).

Still waiting for that $200 deal though, we downgraded to a very cheap car this winter and I don't want to put a $350 remote starter in it 😂

No, but I don't think it uses that much battery. Probably a difference of your battery going dead in 2-3 weeks vs 3-4 weeks of sitting. If your car is sitting that long you should figure out a way to have a battery tender on it. It's hard on the battery and alternator if you let it sit til it's almost dead all the time.

You can ask the Best Buy installer and they'll probably charge you an extra $20 to add a quick disconnect. Or they'll at least tell you which fuse they're tapping power for so you could just remove the fuse (for free). My installer was super cool and did a few modifications for me without charge.

Is this kit simply including Drone Mobile LTE module where monthly costs for LTE is $4/mo and drops if you sign up for longer from Drone directly, and Compustar equipment handles the rest?

Dumb question: can you use this as an actual key or do I need to plug in my key to drive the car. I have 2016 Corolla and actual physical key (not fob)

Can this be used with a manual transmission? Obviously it would need to be left in neutral to work
