Works Perfect with Start-X
I originally bought a Carlink 6 4G remote start which is exactly the same as this. Nothing but problems and couldn't program that one. Ended up returning it and found this product. Hooked it up, and performed the activation sequence. For my 5th Gen 4runner with a key, it is:Plug the unit into the start-XPut the key in the ignition switch it to on and back offTap the brake pedal four timesThe green and red light should blink, and we'll go solid within a minute.After that I installed the app, and everything worked as it should. Easy peasy.

Works fine
This one replaced one that went bad. I believe the built in battery went bad due to my Jeep battery being dead so I do not blame the unit. This one was simple to install and connect to the network. I can start my Jeep miles away.

Amazing
Being able to turn on my vehicle from just about anywhere is amazing! By the time I get to my car the ac has done its job especially right now with this 3 digit heatwave we are having in CA. This is my second purchase since the first one was amazing. Now I get to turn on my vehicle from just about anywhere. Better than the remote signal that only covers to a certain extend.

Placement in the vehicle truly is crucial!
Easy installMuch cheaper to run versus othersWorks 94% of the time with vehicle sitting in same place and full reception on cell phone.UPDATE: I tried different placement of the linkr module and there was a slight improvement. All vehicles are build differently, I would consider placement "fine tuning", so four goes to give stars in my opinion. Thank for reading.

Remote start works, gps works… lock/unlock not so much.
This works to remote start and for GPS. Significant amount of back and forth to get the lock / unlock to try and work on a Kia Rio 2019… Also if it isn’t updating go into the map view, wait for it to show the current time then go back to the main app screen.

A beautifully integrated plug 'n play add-on that is held back with an occasionally glitchy app.
I added this to an Omegalink OL-RS-BM1 and it was completely plug 'n play, no wires to run, just plug it in to the main unit and it works! The only downsides are that on occasion if I don't unlock the car first with the app before starting my car, it can randomly set off the alarm rather than start, and the app itself is a bit lacking in features. For example even though the main unit is hooked directly into the CANBUS/DataBUS system and the additional options are listed, there's no ability to turn on heated seats/steering wheel, just the ability to pop the trunk (from what I can gather on the forums you can't just tap the wires for the heated seats or anything either). The app also completely forgot my car once already and I had to add it in all over again, thankfully they include the serial number on a sticker in the box because I sure didn't want to pull my lower dash back apart.Overall I think it's a great product that I will get a lot of use from, even with some minor hiccups here and there. If it keeps setting off my alarm, there is an option on the starter module to have it unlock the doors before it attempts to start so I might reflash it and see if that cures it. Very happy with the setup so far.Update: Another issue has reared its head. On newer BMWs there is an ammeter on the battery that watches how much power is being pulled while the car is off. Since this unit is always connected to the cellular network the computer sees this as a drain. There's about a 50/50 shot you'll get the "Increased Battery Discharge" warming upon starting the car. These cars have large batteries and it's not really a problem, but I haven't found a way to code it out. It's mostly just a nuisance, but it puts the exclimation mark on the dash so if other errors pop up you're less likely to notice. Still like the product, but hopefully a future update addresses this with a low power mode or a way to code out the monitoring.

So far working in 2015 Ford F150 XLT
with the end of 3G, Ford left us owners of the Ford OEM remote access high and dry. Enter the aftermarket solution.My 2015 F150 included factory keyfob remote start, but I still had to install an aftermarket remote starter to use this module. I installed a Fortin EVO-ALL (kit: EVO-FORT3) remote starter (uses the factory keyfob's), then plugged the Linkr-LT2 into the EVO. Everything was connected by plugging in wiring harnesses. I then installed the Linkr app on my droid phone, signed up for an account, entered the Linkr SN and SIM number. Followed the programming to EVO procedure and within minutes I was connected to my truck and able to remote start from the app.The installation of the remote starter and Linkr took less than an hour. The EVO-ALL needs to be programmed to use the Linkr module so you need the Fortin flash link (about $40) and about ten minutes to download and install on a windows PC, set options and save to the EVO module.Install was done 12/16/20 and has been problem free as of 12/31/20.Update 3/1/21Still working no REAL problems. I've had 3-4 times when the phone app seemed like the truck did not start and then showed a bunch of red icons like there was a problem, but when I walked out to my truck it was running. So 3-4 app glitches in two and a half months use, 2-3 starts/day.

Only worked for one day. Update!
While it was easy to install and program, it only worked for one day. I tried having it re-learn the Evo-One module, but without success. I emailed tech support to see if it could be reset, but they said no. I gave them the serial number and they said they would get back to me. Still waiting. I will delete then vehicle and look for something that works.Update: Lessco was quick to respond to my original feedback and issued a quick refund. Thank you guys.
