Everyone can make their own decision whether or not to trust best buy, however just keep in mind that if a remote starter is not installed properly a few months or years down the road your car may not start because a wire or connection is loose and you'll have no idea why
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

I have one installed by them for over 3 years with no issues.

I had a Bluetooth installed in an old car that caused the airbag light to go on and they paid for Volvo to fix the issue, even though it costed more than I paid them!

Last time it was about $40,  but every car is different.
Best buy does price match so it was really about $150 but I searched for the best price for each item on Google shopping and got them to match to $40!  :-)

Thanks,  On some of the reviews from.best buy they say that besides the 150 there is an additional 220$ installation fee.

Guess I'll call my mechanic to see how.much he would charge me to install.
If you have any questions please search and then ask. PM me for detailed help.

Yup! Especially if you add SmartStart!


For more $ you can get an excellent one with a screen and lets you know the status of your car.

i had my starter burn out because of a bad remote starter job.
(Not from best buy)
