[QUOTE="NXR71, post: 22634, member: 6892"] I'll be the contrarian here. :) We had a CompuSTAR 2-way remote start installed on our daughter's 2012 Fusion ten years ago and it has worked flawlessly since. "2-way" means the car sends a radio signal back to the remote to confirm the engine started. We did NOT get the cellular option. This looks like the current rendition: [URL]https://www.compustar.com/remotes/2wg15-lte?sid=28[/URL] I know range claims are often way over-exaggerated but that thing is amazing.
