the BEST!!!
By on 03-04-2024

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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.

Works like a charm
By on 12-03-2018

"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!"

By on 02-06-2018

"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!"

Slick Time Saver
By on 02-02-2018

"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."

Great Product
By on 11-19-2017

"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."

26 Years Experience
Professional Installation!

With 26 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 26 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.
