Remote Car Starters

The primary purpose for remote starters is convenience. You could warm up your car that is out in frigid and chilly weather while you’re warm staying inside. You could also do the same in blistering hot weather; remotely turn-on your engine with the A/C switch on so that it’s nice and cool by the time you get in. Another purpose for remote ignition is security reasons. Whether you’re a male or a female, it’s always nice to have your car ready to go whenever you are, especially when you are in shady parts of town. And of course, the last purpose to having remote starters is the show-off factor because it completes the true wow-element of your vehicle. After all, who doesn’t want to show off like James Bond?

There are a few things to be mindful of. Virtually every remote car start system includes vehicle security and of course with that, they include some kind of remote. The pricing on these remote start security systems depend mostly on the abilities of the remote. I know it sounds crazy, but it’s the truth. In essence, the price is based upon how smart your system is.

The more buttons the remote has, the more money it’ll cost, because the more buttons usually mean more programmable functions such as delayed starts, valet mode, and multi-tone activation. Another consideration is the ability for the system to communicate 2-way rather than just the typical 1-way. 2-Way remotes allow the system to not only be controlled remotely by the user but also communicate to the user any disturbance to the car. This is crucial if you’re dining out or shopping at the mall and your car is out of your sight. 2-Way remotes typically features a small LCD display to tell you exactly what’s going on and they usually have symbols to represent different things on your car that is disturbed (if your car is equipped with the sensors). Some systems indicate glass-breakage indicators or vicinity alarms to specify exact disturbances.

Lastly, remember that once you wire your vehicle up for remote ignition, it is possible for thieves to steal your remote’s code and frequency allowing them to impersonate you through their remote and driving off with your car. Though the possibility of this is unlikely, it is still possible. Some remote car starters systems feature code-hopping countermeasures, allowing your system to change codes frequently to prevent thieves from finding the same one—giving an astronomically impossible combination of codes to be deciphered. Again with this added feature, expect the price to be higher.
