REMOTE START & SECURITY SYSTEMS

Why do I need one?

Having a remote starter installed in your vehicle has year-round benefits. No need to get caught in uncomfortable weather again! Operated by a remote also known as a key-fob control, comfort is just a button press away. Ice on your windshield? No problem! Just remotely start your vehicle from the comfort of the indoors and watch it melt away. The same goes for those blazing summer days. Leave the AC on and you won't have to worry about those blistering seats and driving wheels. 

And that's just a few of the benefits. Did you know that you can actually save gas mileage by "warming" up your vehicle before driving? That's right, because it heats the oil and makes your engine run much more efficiently and keeps it from exerting unnecessary strain. 

Remote starters are often bundled with keyless entry and security alarms. We carry 2-way remotes that offer advanced protection against theft by alerting you via the remote if the alarm is triggered.

Will it work with my Vehicle?

Most if not all vehicles can be equipped with remote start, keyless entry, and alarm systems. Formerly limited to automatic transmission vehicles, new technology has allowed installation in nearly any vehicle whether it's manual transmission, diesel fuel, older vehicles, vehicles with push-button starters, and even "chipped" key anti-theft vehicles. 

Manual transmission or "stick shift" vehicles require a neutral safety switch, which provide a failsafe that prevents the automobile from starting unless it is in neutral and the emergency brake is set. There is a process to leaving the vehicle which we will go over briefly. Firstly, remember to set the emergency brake, and leave the shifter in neutral. Then roll up any windows and remove the key. The engine may run for a few moments but will shut off shortly after. If you opt to go with a security solution, some will automatically lock all doors and engage the alarm. If you choose a 2-way remote system you will get a notification indicating the vehicle is secure. In vehicles with chipped anti-theft systems, one or more bypass modules may be required so the vehicle can recognize the correct key code without the need for the actual key. 

We can even install aftermarket solutions if your vehicle has existing factory anti-theft and/or keyless entry installed. Many are not aware of the limited range and functionality factory systems provide.
