Unless you’re lucky enough to leave your car in a climate-controlled garage, you’ve undoubtedly experienced winter mornings shivering behind your steering wheel while waiting for your car to warm up and hot summer afternoons where you can barely touch the seats. With Compustar’s 4905S two-way remote start system, you can solve both problems.

A pair of included key fobs lets you start your car from up to 3,000 feet away — more than enough range to get it to a comfortable temperature before you venture outside. That’s not all, though; this handy remote start system offers two-way communications so you can confirm your vehicle has successfully started by glancing at an LED on the fob, along with timed start and valet mode. It’s compatible with most vehicles with automatic transmission, including diesel, electric, and hybrid electric cars.

If you want to ensure your car is warm and toasty when you get into it this winter, you’ll need to act quickly, though, as this Best Buy Prime Day deal for $150 off the Compustar 4905S kit is only on for a few more hours.

Roku Remote.

With so many smart TVs out there, it's easy to forget that many folks still have 'dumb' TVs or don't want to use their TV's smart TV platform. That's where standalone streaming devices like Roku sticks come in, allowing you to add some serious smarts to your TV or move to a different smart TV platform. Luckily, there are some great Best Buy Prime Day deals on Roku sticks, like this Roku 4k stick that's going for just $30 at Best Buy.

Why you should buy the Roku Streaming Stick 4K
Up to even just last year, getting a 4k streaming device could easily cost you nearly a hundred dollars, and yet the Roku Streaming Stick 4K gives you that for far less, and if that wasn't enough, you get a few more extra features on top of that as well. For example, it has both HDR and HDR10+, which many streaming sticks don't, and, assuming your TV is compatible, it gives you the ability to run HDR content as if you were on the TV's native smart platform. It also supports DTS Surround Sound, so if you're one of the folks who like to have great audio, you get that as well.
