I absolutely hate this system. My WRX is a 6 speed so I had went compustar to have a remote start. I had to go to a compustar PRO dealer to get it done as Best Buy said it can’t be done. Well, 1100 do... See more

Well, the unlock feature when you approach your vehicle is hit or miss. I thought it was because my key fob needed a charge, so I charged it and the problem still happened. Super disappointed that s... See more

The fobs that are supplied during purchase are super cheap plastic. My drone fob broke in just a couple of weeks. If you have a vehicle that shuts down after a period of time while at idle and you att... See more

Contacted them six times and they never answered any of my questions. Canned answers are either we do not provide that type of support or take your unit to a dealer. Asking what remotes are compatible... See more

Remote works great - proximity?

Remote works great. Proximity not sure about. Seems I have to lock doors with the fob for it to work properly and consistent. If I look doors while in vehicle proximity will not work. I guess I just need to get used to it.

I absolutely love this product

I absolutely love this product. The dealer was very professional and the installation was completed in the time they said it would be. I love the functionality and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a remote starter.

Best Remote Star system

Excellent product, able to remote start my car from a great distance,from inside a building with limited connectivity, the 2-way remote a great plus. When i get to my car the windshield is defrosted and warm inside. Love my Remote start + alarm system from CompuStar.

Works with 2022 Toyota Prius (Plugin) Prime

Experience so far is only with ambient temperatures below freezing. ICE starts on remote start activation, front defrost comes on and if interior of cabin is cold enough, rear window defrost also comes on. (As expected, remote will not work if charge cable connected since a Toyota safety feature.) Range as advertised.

Easy to use, works every time, perfect for winter in Montana (and early spring and late fall...)

very dissapointed with this starter

very dissapointed with this starter. Paid more than I ever have for remote two way starters and this one is not consistent with the two way function. many times it will not return the signal back to let you know it started. Paid extra for this feature that is not great.

So far so good

So far so good, I have really enjoyed the product, it lives up to what it states it will do: 25 min. run time, up to a 3 mile auto start with the app, notification and tracking. All is well with me.

Remote start

Works as expected. Best Buy did a good job on the install. I like the fact that it uses my factory key fob to start without have to carry and extra.

I've purchased two remote starts for…

I've purchased two remote starts for two vehicles. This device works as expected. It has a great range, which is most important for my wife. We like the confirmation feature letting you know that the vehicle started. My only complaint is that my 2014 Honda Accord does not have a secure takeover so the engine shuts off when the door is opened. All things considered this is a very minor issue and won't prevent me from using this product brand in the future.

Absolutely love my T13 remote start

Absolutely love my T13 remote start! Only one thing is bordering me is that I have to take my car back to the dealer every time COMPUSTAR doing updates. Other than that absolutely amazing system!

Not at all happy with the install

Not at all happy with the install. Some factory functions do not work anymore like "Peep" when you set or disengage the lock or alarm function. Also, all the doors unlock when you hit the button once. this is not how the factory functions worked before the new install.
