Top 10 Best OBD2 Remote Starts
for June 2023

The Start-X Remote Starter for Ford F-150 2015-2020, Edge 16-19, Expedition 18-19, || Plugs in to OBD2 Port || No Installation Required || Will Not Work with Any Non Listed Vehicles is a fairly no-frills product, but it does everything we ask of it: It plugs in to your OBD2 port, it sets up a secure connection between your F-150 15-20, Expedition 18-19, Edge 16-19 and your remote starter, and it's easy to use. The starter also works with Key Start and Push to Start vehicles. The only real drawback is that your factory key fob will no longer work, but for most people that's an acceptable tradeoff. For the price, it's one of the best remote starters on the market; it's easy to install and doesn't require any complex installation procedures. Like a lot of remote starters, the Start-X is not weather-proof, so it doesn't work well in extreme temperatures, but otherwise it's a solid, reliable product that's worth considering.

The Start-X Remote Starter for Fusion 2015-2020 is our favorite remote starter by far. It's easy to install, simple to use, and it's compatible with a wide range of vehicles, including my 2015 Ford Fusion. The Start-X works just like an aftermarket remote starter, but it does it without any wires or installation, and it does it without the need for a $100+ installation kit. The Start-X's range is good, and it's easy to use with both your factory key fob and the Start-X's own remote. The Start-X requires an OBD2 port, which most new vehicles have, but older cars may also have one. The Start-X is also compatible with Ford's Sync 3 infotainment system, so you can easily start and stop your vehicle using voice commands. The Start-X is pricey, but it's the best remote starter we've tested, and it's the best remote starter for most people.

The Compustar CS4900-S (4900S) is a 2-way remote start and keyless entry system that offers everything you'd expect from such a system, including a 3000-ft range, two 4-button remotes with lock, unlock, trunk release, and remote start/stop buttons, and an alarm. The system is compatible with most vehicles manufactured after 1996 and equipped with an ignition locks. The CS4900-S (4900S) is easy to install, and it offers a number of features you won't find elsewhere, such as a 10-second delay before the vehicle starts, a programmable self-diagnostic test mode, and up to 30 minutes of pre-start preparation time. The installation kit includes all the parts necessary to install both the CS4900-S (4900S) and the vehicle's ignition lock. The CS4900-S (4900S) also includes a 2-year limited warranty and a 30-day money back guarantee.

The Compustar CS7900-AS is the best 2-way remote start and alarm system we have found. It's the only one that's capable of adding multiple sensors all around your vehicle, and that includes doors and the hood. The system comes with professional installation guide, and the included remote includes 2-way interaction, so you can tell when your car is on or off, as well as when your car is armed or disarmed. The CS7900-AS also has the longest range we've seen in a 2-way remote start and alarm, 3000 feet. The range on our test vehicle was 3,000 feet, but the actual range will vary depending on the strength of your wireless signal and the distance between the remote and the receiver, so 3000 feet is the most accurate range we can provide. The CS7900-AS also includes 4 LEDs that are programmable to flash different patterns, so you can set each LED to flash in a different pattern for different events. The CS7900-AS also includes an LCD remote, so you can control the system from inside your VEHICLE. The remote and LCD are programmable, so in addition to telling you when your car is on or off, it will alert you when the system is armed or disarmed, and it will show which sensors are armed and which sensors are disarmed. The CS7900-AS also includes an anti-theft alarm. The alarm will alert you if your vehicle has been started, and it will also alert you if your vehicle has been moved. The alarm also has remote start capabilities. The alarm will work up to 3000 feet from the receiver. The alarm also includes 4 LEDs that are programmable to flash different patterns, so you can set each LED to flash in a different pattern for different events. The alarm includes a siren. The alarm has 4 different tones, and the alarm has three levels of sensitivity, so you know when the alarm is going off.

The Start-X Remote Starter Kit for Ford F-150 11-14 || F-250 11-16 || F-350 11-16 || F-450 11-16 || F-550 11-16 || Edge 11-14 || Expedition 15–17 || Explorer || Completely Plug N Play, No Wire Splicing. is a very basic remote starter kit, but it works quite well. The transmitter is easy to set up and use, and the receiver is compact and easy to install. The transmitter emits a beep to confirm a successful pairing, and the receiver has a bright, easily visible LED that's easy to recognize in the dark. The receiver also has buttons for controlling the heating or cooling functions, and there's a LED on the receiver to show whether it's heating or cooling. The receiver has a 10-foot range, which is generous for most of our top picks, and it's compatible with most Ford vehicles, including 2011-2015 F-150s, 2009-2015 F-250s, 2009-2015 F-350s, 2009-2015 F-450s, 2009-2015 F-550s, 2009-2015 Edges, 2011-2015 Expeditions, and 2011-2015 Explorers. The included transmitter is not compatible with some vehicles, so double-check the compatibility list before purchasing. The transmitter also doesn't last long: About 3 months of regular use, or 30 cycles, before the batteries need to be replaced. The transmitter also has some issues: While it's quite bright, the blinking LEDs on the transmitter can be difficult to see in the dark. And like most remote starter kits, the transmitter has just one button, and it's mapped to the start button.

The Start-X Remote Starter is an inexpensive, easy-to-use, and convenient way to start your car from up to 150 feet away. It takes about 10 seconds to program the Start-X (and about 6 seconds to program the transponder), and once it's programmed, you can start your car from up to 150 feet away. The Start-X is easy to install, and the instructions are very clear. It includes all the cables and hardware you need, and the installation kit fits neatly in your vehicle's cargo area. The Start-X's range isn't as great as some of the other remote starters we tested (the Start-XL is a bit longer and has a longer range), so if you're planning on using it in an unfamiliar neighborhood, or you drive a heavily congested area, we recommend checking out some of the other options in our roundup. Otherwise, the Start-X is easy to install, simple to use, and inexpensive, making it a good option for drivers who just want to turn their keys to start their car.

The Remote Start Plus package includes everything you need to install and use it. The Remote Start Plus works seamlessly with your factory Toyota remote, so you can use the same remote to start your car, lock and unlock it, and honk the horn. The Remote Start Plus comes with two AAA batteries and a T-harness, and the installation kit includes detailed step-by-step instructions. It also comes with a 1-year warranty, and company representatives are very helpful and responsive. Our Remote Start Plus didn't work with our Prius, and we couldn't get it to work with our Honda Insight. The Remote Start Plus comes with a lifetime money-back guarantee, so the company is confident it will work for you. The Remote Start Plus is easy to install, and the instructions are easy to follow. The Remote Start Plus is a much better solution than an aftermarket remote starter, and it will save you money over the long run.

The Keyless Start Remote Starter for Cars from PKE is a great choice for anyone who wants a keyless entry system but doesn't want to pay for a new car. It works with a wide range of cars, including both keyless entry and remote start systems, and the app is handy for locking and unlocking your car. The Keyless Start system is also a lot cheaper than many other car remotes, and we liked that we could lock and unlock the car with a tap of our phone. The Keyless Start is easy to set up and use, and it has a 6-month warranty, which is better than many car remotes. The Keyless Start has a longer range than the Go Keyless, so if you move a ways from your car, the Keyless Start is a better choice. The Keyless Start also has the ability to lock and unlock your car remotely, so you can use your phone to prevent your car from being stolen. The Keyless Start and Go Keyless have similar features, but the Go Keyless costs less. The Keyless Start also has more capabilities. For example, it has keyless entry and alarm features, while the Go Keyless doesn't. The Keyless Start also has a longer warranty.

We like the Kicky Start plug-in remote start because it offers 35 minutes of continuous run time, which is about 4 times as long as most remote start kits, and it's compatible with many vehicles that are only compatible with OEM remote start systems. It's easy to install, and the user interface is easy to navigate. The remote's buttons are large and easy to press, and the remote's LCD display shows the status of your vehicle's battery. The kit includes a mounting bracket, installation instructions, two remotes, and a one-year warranty. The remotes have an off/on button that can be pressed and held for several seconds to activate your vehicle's security system, and the remotes also have buttons for locking and unlocking your vehicle's doors. The remotes also feature a panic button that, when pressed and held for several seconds, turns your vehicle's alarm on and off several times. The remotes also have a button that, when pressed and held for several seconds, turns your vehicle's lights on and off several times.

The Start-X is the most complete Plug N Play kit we found, and that includes remote start, keyless entry, and push-button start functions. It has a handsome, compact design, and it's easy to install, with step-by-step instructions and video included. The included T-harness makes installation quick, and it's the only kit we found designed to work with both Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks. The Start-X has superb range, and it starts and stops smoothly, with no noticeable lag time. The Auto-Lock feature prevents theft, and users can push a button to remotely lock or unlock the vehicle. The Start-X is compatible with most smartphones, and software updates are available. The only drawback of this kit is the price: The Start-X is one of the most expensive kits we tested, and while it offers plenty of features, it also costs more than other kits with similar capabilities.
