Prestige APS997Z vs EASYGUARD EC002 Car Alarm Smart Key RFID PKE System

The Prestige APS997Z is widely considered to be a great Remote Starter at its $120 budget. The EASYGUARD EC002 Car Alarm Smart Key RFID PKE System, however, while also a good product at this price point, doesn't stack up against its competitors quite as well.

The reviewers at Popular Mechanics have featured the Prestige APS997Z in their The Best Remote Car Starters to Fire Up Your Engine from Afar roundup. However, it fell short of making it to the top of their list.

Taking a look at the EASYGUARD EC002 Car Alarm Smart Key RFID PKE System, we found that it hasn't managed to perform well enough to earn a spot in any Remote Starter roundups done by sources that conduct their own, high-quality, hands-on testing. That alone makes it difficult to recommend.
