Ratings and reviews

I've had this system since 2016. It works for my 09' Nissan vehicle without issue. My problem is the app doesn't contain the functionalities of the fob. I can't change the sensitivity of the sensors for alerts, can't utilize valet, and can't regulate anything at all with the app. I prefer to use the app as a fob. I always have my phone, the fob is poorly crafted and breaks easily. To replace the LED fob is ridiculous considering the advancements available with other products & competitors.

Talked to customer support on two different occasions. Both people I talked to acted like I was bothering them and couldn't be less helpful. App is reading way to high 346MPH. One just said sign out of the App and sign back in. Didn't even stay long enough to see if it worked. The second person was no better except that she said the problem was with my phone and to call call the manufacturer. Nothing else that she could and hung up!!

horrible experience with the app for the phone and the watch. The app was better before that last update. I have to change my password every time and I still can't log into the app. Also, the app never works on the watch. I would not recommend the viper remote start. spend a little more money and get a better more reliable system.
