Instructions difficult to understand but good customer service

Make a principle but the instructions are useless and based on the same type of car. I'm still working with support and trying to get the launch feature to work. I have tracking and alarms working but it's a remote start by phone.

Pros
  • βœ… KIT OVERVIEW - The optional MPC Smartphone Interface Module and downloadable phone app allows you to control the MPC remote start system. Includes 1 year of service. This item is only compatible with certain Crimestopper/Fortin remote start kits sold by MPC (see description).

Cons
  • Good but not great

Great product and easy installation

Literally "plug and play". Once the baud rate was set, all I had to do was download the app, set up my account, add my car, and then connect the telemetry. It works out! As a bonus, I've linked it to Alexa as a skill so I can now get her to start my car at a set time.

Pros
  • βœ… "PLUG & PLAY" INSTALLATION TYPE - This kit is a true plug and play kit. The wiring harness has been designed to eliminate the need for cable connections. Installation of this product will still require removal of the steering column shroud or lower fascia to access the connection point. However, the connection is a simple plug-in.

Easy to use: interior accessory

I bought this remote start app/module along with my already installed remote start and am very satisfied. Now I can start the engine, lock or unlock the doors from a distance I could only dream of before. I used to have to stand at the door and listen for things to start. But now no problem.

Pros
  • βœ… REMOTE START FUNCTIONS - Use your smartphone to start your car from anywhere with cellular coverage - unlimited range! The MPC Smart Phone App also tracks your vehicle's location, displays battery voltage and battery life (on some models) with remote start. 1 year free service included, 1 year renewal for $39.
Cons
  • High price
