"Hello folks, I purchased the R3, 2 way remote starter for my wife as an anniversary present and she couldn't be happier with it. I scored big points with her! Happy wife, happy life, lol! I was a we bit worried that the signal would be weak in the school where she works but it works well and starts her car with no issues. Considering the low cost, 30 minute install, and easy to use features, makes this purchase a no brainer. We're super happy about this purchase and will 100% recommend this to my friends and family. If you're thinking about getting one, don't hesitate getting one from Remotely Started, you'll be glad you did. BTW... they honored last years quote... Love it!"

"For my birthday I purchased an auto car started for myself. I’m done getting into a steaming hot ot icy cold car! Working with Remotely Started was a great experience. Prompt, efficient, kind, dependable company with personalized service. He went the extra mile & informed me of some items he noticed that needed repair & how to go about getting it done.
I’d been dreaming for YEARS about getting a starter & was relieved Remotely Started was so easy & trustworthy to work with. The website is very user friendly also. Thanks for making my dream come true- it’s gonna be worth every dime of the expense."
"I've been searching for the longest to find a great remote starter for my car. I was referred here through a family member and I'm telling you, it was the best referral ever! Remotely Started was professional throughout the whole process of consultation, installation, and after install. Communication was clear and consistent! Specifically, I love my remote starter and it worked perfectly! The install was super fast and efficient - I was there for less than 30 min. Super glad to have purchase this and it definitely made my life easier, especially living in MN's bipolar weather."
"Purchased a remote starter and installation for my girlfriends birthday gift. This family runs a great service! Friendly, prompt, flexible and professional!

Support this family business!"

"had JD install new R3 2way remote starter in my wife's car as a present/upgrade. Factory remote would only work from about 50ft or less, kinda worthless when she's in building at work. New remote works great for her now, doesn't have to run out to parking lot to start car. process was fast, friendly, and a good price. Checked reviews at several 'chain' places before here - not very good reviews, Remotelystarted did great job - better than factory now!"

"Very happy! I can start it in the middle of the hospital if I put the remote to my chin (antenna). I would only get a 2 way so you know that it starts. Very fast install! And you can get in without waiting weeks/month. Parents were not happy when they had a similar one put in at the dealership as they were missing the important bypass module."

these times, when you are inside of the store and want to leave, you go close the door start your car and done."
"I really wanted to have some sort of confirmation that the car did indeed start, and this seemed to be the best value of the 2 way remotes. Such a great early Christmas present when you have to park on the street or in a lot."

JD and Brooklyn were awesome!"

"Product works perfectly. I was totally amazed at the experience shown during installation. It would have taken me 3 days to figure out the wiring and hook up chart. His 21 years resulted in having the dash apart and totally installed in 45 minutes. Great job. I like the at home installation. If there is an issue I can get a personal response and not a big name "take a number" feeling."
"I am lucky that I got referral from brother to have remote starter installed with JD. what a great host while waiting for remote to be installed. JD make comfortable just like being at my house. I love the product and would like to refer more people to JD in near future. What a great service at decent price."
"Super happy with my Compustar Prime R3. Installation was quick. I’d recommend Remotely Started for anyone. MN winters are too cold and too long to live without a remote starter!"

"It has been a very cold winter in MN. I park outside for work. This new remote starter has been amazing. I can start my car from inside and, by the time I get to the car, it's warmer and has begun defrosting.
Remotely Started was awesome. Easy to find an installation time that worked with our schedule. it was installed in less than 2 hours. His instructions were very clear and it is easy to operate. We had purchased a device from him last fall for our daughter. She lives in an apartment with no indoor parking. She loves it!
We had purchased a remote started several years ago from Best Buy. Had nothing but trouble with the device after waiting 2 months for installation."

"I have had my started for about 2 months now. First of all if it's your first time here don't be surprised to find you're in a residential area. Great service. Everyone else wanted my car for the entire day. JD took less than 45 minutes start to finish. My remote works great and I love the 2 way. My old car didn't have that and you never knew if it had actually started or not. I would definitely recommend JD, Brooklyn and the R3 2 WAY starter!"
"We arrived at our scheduled time to have the R3 2-Way remote starter installed and the installation was done in less that 30 minutes. I did have a little battery snafu where I replaced me car battery 2 days after my install and the remote start would not work (mostly my fault. I needed a new battery and should have gotten on before the remote start install), but I contacted JD immediately and he was very responsive and helped me rectify the issue. Works like a charm every time! Also, JD and Brooklynn are very welcoming and professional and that is a huge plus!"
"I had a remote that I did thru Groupon and it never really work my boyfriend had his done here and was very excited how well this product works and what a great job JD did installing it. I would highly recommend Remote Start to everyone!!!"
"We put auto starts in two of our vehicles and we are very happy with the results! The service was great with a very quick turn time. Would highly recommend to anyone to use them!"
"Absolutely love my Prime R3 2way!! I love the fact that the 2 way lets me know that it has started, I also like how fast they were to install this into my vehicle, about an hour! JD and Brooklyn are very friendly people to work with also!"
"Love the R3. Easy to use. The service is excellent, installation was done in 45 minutes."
"I purchased the R3 two way for my wife. She loves it. It is easy to use and the fob is just the right size. I would highly recommend this product."
"I’ve had the R3 2way for 4 weeks now and love it. Easy to use, long range, 2 way confirmation that car has started! You’ll love it too!"
"I purchased the R3 remote start and love it so far I've never had one before this one is simple and very affordable. I highly recommend this."
"We got the remote start put in primarily so that we can leave our dog in the car while we are running an errand or having lunch etc. We want to make sure she is cool in the summer and warm in the winter! We had enjoyed the one we had put in a couple years ago so much that when we bought another car we went right away and had JD install this one. Great service and great product at a Reasonable price."
"Had the Compu Star R3 2 way starter installed in my truck. Love the long range and feedback chirp when the vehicle starts. This remote fob also replaces your OEM key fob. Smooth install in under 1 hour and comfortable indoor waiting area. Thanks JD and Brooklyn."
"My husband and I splurged a little for the Compustar Prime R3 2-way and are very happy that we did. The extra distance really makes a huge positive difference and the confirmation signal is super nice-particularly when your vehicle is far away enough to be out of view. I would absolutely recommend it. I wish we'd installed it earlier. :)"
"Brooklynn and JD are great to work with and very professional. Highly recommend gettting ur remote starter with them."
"The Compustar Prime R3 2 way is a great remote starter. I love the size of it and the one button. I would recommend this starter to anyone."
"The install took 30 min for my vehicle. I waited inside and they were the perfect hosts! Everything works smoothly. I love the two way starter since sometimes you're not sure if you're too far away for it to work. I saw reviews that the chirping from the remote was too loud but I don't mind it at all. I can't seem to start from inside my work but that could be the concrete of the ramp my car is in or the distance. Understandable in my mind so not bothered. The distance still is way better than the factory one I had in my old car. Love it!"
"Prime R3 2way works like a champ--3000ft remote range is the real deal, and I've had no trouble from inside various buildings. I highly recommend a 2way system for the confirmation signal. Key fob is simple to operate. If you like a warmed up car for longevity's sake or just added comfort, this product is a significant time saver, and takes some of the sting out of bitter cold Minnesota."
"I couldn't have been happier with the hospitality and the reliability of the starter and my girlfriend who got the starter couldn't be happier. It hasn't had a time where it hasn't worked and will hands down go back for another starter."
"The starter is working flawlessly for my wife. It has started the car every time and the range is fantastic. She was amazed when we walked out of the Xcel Energy Center after a Wild game and she started the car in the MN History Center lot a little under a mile away. Great product!"
"The Compustar R3 was the 3rd/4th starter I have had these guys install in vehicles. Great starter, great service!"
"Another great product from Compustar the R3 is simple and very dependable so far. The one button operation works great for my mother in law to use and reaches a perfect distance so I know she’ll be comfortable when getting into her SUV. Thanks for a Great product !!!"
"This is a great product, simple and compact. Just one button which makes it easy - One press to lock, double press to unlock, and press and hold for 3 seconds to remote start (and also to remote shutdown). Works reliably every time - it has never failed to start, and I have not been able to truly test the start distance as it always works.
My only gripe is the 2-way remote confirmation beeps 3 times fairly loudly. You may like that feedback but I wish there was option to make it only flash lights. I've resorted to using the 1-way remote (The pack includes one of each remote) as the range is still farther than I need and it has never not started. Otherwise awesome product."
Professional Installation!
With 27 years experience in the 12volt industry I have installed just about everything in just about every make of vehicle. I have been doing high end remote start installs the entire 27 years. Having owned my own retail shop for 5 years I understand the concerns and doubts associated with remote starters and alarms.
Let me assure you that I know what I'm doing; using the latest technology and resources to install all products fast and professionally you will be happy with the results. In some cases a vehicle is new to me, but before I ever touch the vehicle I do the research to make sure it can be done in a safe way for you and the vehicle.
