Why Do I Need A Remote Starter?

The convenience of warming up your vehicle from the comfort of your home or office.  It's a great feeling to see the snow and ice melt away from your windshield as you relax inside your home enjoying your morning breakfast.  However, have you considered the fact that a remote starter can also help with cooling your vehicle down in the summer too?  By turning your air conditioner on and using your remote starter you can cool your vehicle down before you get in.  So whether it's summer or winter a remote starter is a great idea.

In addition to the convenience of warming up your vehicle from the comfort of your home, studies have shown that warming up a vehicle's engine prior to driving can promote longer engine life especially in cooler climates. So it's not just convenient for you, it's good for your vehicle.

 

Remote Starter Prices Vary A Lot?  What Is The Difference Between Them?

Remote starters come in a variety of models and can be programmed for a number of features all of which may impact the price.  But don't be fooled by many low cost advertisements for remote starters which typically don't include installation, a second transmitter, lock/unlock functions or interfaces that may be needed on some vehicles.  Be sure to ask what the price is for everything.  Don't assume that the $79 price you saw in the newspaper is an out-the-door price.  There will always be additional fees in low priced remote starters as you add additional features to suit your needs.

When it comes to remote starters, there are two different basic options.

1. Basic Remote Starters 

2. Two-Way Paging

Basic Remote Starters:

Basic remote starters communicate with your vehicle using a small remote transmitter that can be attached to your key chain.  These transmitters are about the size of a typical OEM key fob and communicate with your vehicle much the same way your TV remote control communicates with your TV. When you push a button a signal is sent from the remote transmitter to the remote starter module in the vehicle and it starts your vehicle.  These models are priced at the entry level range.

There are a number of models in this category.  Models at the basic level are usually one-button remote starters that simply start your vehicle.  As you move up in price, you can add features like:

• Additional remote transmitters
• Door lock and unlock - Even one-button remotes can be programmed to lock/unlock your vehicle
• Trunk release - Simple convenience when your hands are full
• Panic button - To draw attention to you should you feel the need
• Valet mode - Allows your mechanic to work on the vehicle safely
• Car Finder - Honks the horn and flashes the lights
• Extended range - Why not enjoy greater starting distance?

And more...

Two-Way Paging:

These remote starters communicate between your vehicle and a remote transmitter providing you with information about your vehicle such as; interior temperature, battery voltage, open doors, shock sensor alert, open hood, doors locked/unlocked and more.  The transmitter itself also provides some features such as time and alarm clock. The transmitters for these remotes are typically larger and feature an LCD display to clearly display the information about your vehicle's status.  These models are priced at the higher-end range.

Transmitter Range

Another major difference in the price between remote starters has to do with range.  Most entry level models have a range of about 800 ft. while premium models can have a range of 3,000 ft. or more. 

Why would you need more than 800 ft. of range? If you were in your house, sure 800 ft. would be plenty of range.  However, think about those times when you would like to start your vehicle from inside your work, at a restaurant, inside the mall or even from the the locker room at the local gym.  For every barrier the signal comes in contact with (wall or window), the signal range drops by about half.  So if you were in your office and you wanted to start your vehicle which was about 900 feet away, but you had to go through a wall and a window to reach it, you would need a remote starter with a range of approximately 3,000 ft.  So it's important to determine how and where you will use your remote starter.  Then you can make sure you purchase the model that is just right for you.

 

Sure A Remote Starter Is Convenient.  But Is It Safe?  Won't Someone Be Able To Steal My Vehicle While It's Running?

All remote starters provide a number of safety features to ensure your vehicle is safe and secure while running including:

• The doors remain locked while the vehicle is running to prevent unwanted entry 
• If someone does gain access, the engine will immediately shut off if either the brake or accelerator are touched without the key in the ignition
• If your vehicle has a factory alarm or alarm feature with the remote starter, an alarm may sound if unauthorized entry occurs
