I'm really enjoying getting in my truck with no frost on the windshield and a warm truck.
★★★★★Mike M· Oct 15, 2024
Can't really complain, I can actually keep an eye on my car from anywhere and alerts me if any activity. The only thing that don't work is when it asks you if you want to "restart run time". That would be nice.

DO NOT BUY THEIR PRODUCT!!! I've had this for over a year. This company has some of the worst customer service that I've ever received. If there is ever an issue with their product the customer service is basically none existent. I have an issue where their product from my smartphone would regularly not start my car. I'm talking trying to start in 20 times in a row. When I contacted them their response is super slow at best. (takes them weeks to response to just one tech support email)
★★☆☆☆Philip Boydell· Dec 11, 2024
App keeps logging me out, so a quick press on my watch to start the car, becomes a get your phone out, and find your password And re login, not great if you run a routeen on your home auto nation system that will start it for you if it's cold outside.

Worked great Upto new update now won't connect via Bluetooth to my car and the app takes up over a gig of storage?
