I installed this module at the start of 2022 on my Mazda 3 2016 hatchback I sport and it has worked perfectly for the past 4 YEARS I would highly recommend this thing it’s amazing and great for winter time I don’t have to leave the house to start it and when I get in it’s nice and warm and ready to go 10/10 will get this for any other car I have in the future super reliable never had an issue and from what I remember it was such an easy install plug and play indeed looks amazing because no wires stick out so it’s truly a must have mod pricey but worth every penny if you use your car every day !!!

Took about 15 minutes to install and works great!

Easy to install. Straight forward directions in English, accompanied with a step by step video guide, works exactly as advertised. True plug and play.

I am by no means a mechanic or electrician but I do have common sense and can follow a video. This is really easy to install. I had it completed in about 30-40 minutes and it works as advertised. Use your factory key fob so no extra devices. If you want one, go ahead and get one. Will not regret it.

This is an amazing product. I installed it on my wife's 2019 Mazda CX-9 and she loves it. Installation took less than 30 minutes from start to finish. I would highly recommend this product to anybody looking for an aftermarket remote start.

Took me only about 30 minutes after watching YouTube vedio. Easy to install and work at the first attempt. Install on my 2020 Mazda CX9.

Great product just like its described!! Very happy with this remote started so simple that just took a 10 minutes to install in my Mazda CX5 2019!

Updated review: My first unit worked for approx. 1 day. It then began shutting the car down after several seconds. It would continue to try and restart 3 times, but always left the doors unlocked. I contacted their support via Email (No support on weekends). I was sent a replacement unit very quickly. The sad part is that after installing my new module, there was a new issue. Yes, the starter started the car perfectly this time, but now it was disabling my remote key fob, and the door button used to open the locks. I was unable to gain entry into the car while it was running. I had to use the "emergency" manual key to gain entry. Upon opening the door, the car shut off instantly. There was no 30sec time-out to get in and hit the breaks. I tried reprogramming the module using the reset function to no avail. I ended up returning the unit back to Amazon for a full refund. No residual issues are present in my car, so the only thing lost is some time. No hard feeling towards Start-X. I am happy with the support they provided. It was probably just bad luck on my part. I might consider trying them again, but not sure yet. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The only instructions are a card indicating you need to watch a YouTube video for the physical installation. Though it does help, having an actual instruction booklet would be better as you are upside-down under your dash. Second, there is never a time in the video, or on the card when it tells you it is now safe to reconnect the battery. It goes from watch the video, to push the start button twice. It is also vague on if you should actual try and start the car with the breaks on or not (the answer turned out to be no break pedal). The video does not provide any information on how to secure the box under the dash, nor does it give any cable routing information. The harness is also about a foot too long. There is no reason for this huge cable when you only need it to be a 6 or 8 inches in length. Programming takes about 30 seconds and it did work without issue. I would have given it 5 stars if the instructions were actually in existence. The functionality is perfect. Worked on the first try. I love that it works with the manufacturers remote, and that you do NOT need to send this in for programming. Would I buy it again? YES! and I might just do that for my girlfriends Mazda 3, assuming after a month or 2 it is still working.

Very easy to install, took less them 15 minutes. Works well with both my wifes and my remotes for same car. Just be careful, put your drivers seat all the way back if it's powered and turn your steering wheel 90 degrees, before you disconnect the negative terminal of the battery, this will make the install simple.

This took me 15 minutes to install , very easy and works great ,

Installed on a 2020 Mazda CX5 signature. I am very pleased with this product. The cost is very low compared to OEM products installed at the dealership. The fact that it uses the factory key fob without an additional accessory is greatly appreciated. Unfortunately there is no ability to adjust interior climate controls such as the rear defrost or heated seats but for the price it is still worth it to be able to start the vehicle remotely. Just remember to set the front defrost to come on when parking the vehicle. The install was relatively easy. It’s a bit challenging to secure the power module under the dash due to the limited space and positioning but overall it was as simple as the video indicates. Took less than 30 minutes. Not sure about long term use since I just installed and started using it but I highly recommend this product.

J’ai installé ce démarreur à distance sur mon Mazda CX-5 2024 et honnêtement, tout s’est fait sans aucun problème! L’installation est super bien expliquée — il suffit de débrancher le pôle négatif de la batterie, retirer le plastique sous le volant, débrancher les deux fils du démarreur à distance d’origine, puis brancher le T-harness fourni dans le kit. Impossible de se tromper, chaque prise est unique. Ensuite, on rebranche la batterie, on appuie deux fois sur le bouton push-to-start sans toucher au frein, on attend 30 secondes et… boom! Le démarreur fonctionne parfaitement! J’ai fixé le module avec un tie wrap sous les pieds. Bref, un produit fiable, facile à installer et qui fonctionne du premier coup. Je recommande ce module les yeux fermés! 👌

The whole install took about 20 minutes, only tools needed were a 10 mm socket (to disconnect the car battery), a #2 Philips screwdriver and a small flathead screwdriver to help unlock the tabs on the two wiring plugs under the steering wheel. There are several good YouTube videos covering this installation. Watch them and you will see how simple and quick the remote installs and programs. After you have the two sets of wires connected and reconnect the battery, the unit essentially auto-programs itself. That process takes about one minute. You have to reprogram the drivers window by opening, then closing it all the way shut, and that is it !! The remote start kit uses the remote controllers that came with the car. They are automatically programmed. To start the car, just press the Lock Button 3 times in succession. The car will run for 15 minutes after it has been started. I highly recommend this remote starter kit. I wish I would have ordered it in September. It was minus 24C here when I installed it at Christmas (outside on the driveway). BRD
