Whether it’s 6 degrees with a wind-chill of 20 below or it’s 102 degrees in the shade, the thought of walking out and entering a car that is warm and toasty or crisp and cool is, let’s face it…, extremely desirable. Remote Start Systems can now be easily added to virtually any automobile.

The user controls the remote start system using a tiny remote which sends a very specific signal to the equipment installed inside the vehicle. This signal is generally encrypted, preventing someone else from copying it and using it to control your car. When the signal is received, the vehicle’s starter is engaged starting the car where any climate controls (if left operating from the previous journey) will begin to function either heating or cooling the car. A flash of the car lights is provided as a visual cue that a command has been received and the vehicle is running.

These systems can also work with your factory keyless entry to lock and unlock the doors. Before entering the car, the driver must still unlock the car and then place the key into the ignition switch. A quick turn of the key will let the system know the driver is present. As a security measure, the brake pedal will act as a kill switch for the engine if the key has not been turned.

We have several remote options available to choose from. We carry easy-to-use single button or 4-button systems. These are one-way remotes that send commands to your system only. We have two-way remotes with small screens on them. These two-way remotes receive a signal back from the vehicle to confirm start, stop, lock and unlock functions. We carry remote start systems that use your smartphone to control and verify functions from virtually anywhere your phone can get a signal.
