Here's how Remote Car Starters work:
- You activate our Remote Car Starter with your remote.
- The parking lights flash once to let you know that it received the signal.
- The Remote Control Module verifies that the vehicle is in park (neutral safety switch). If not, it doesn't start.
- The Remote Control Module supplies power to your ignition (just like turning it on with a key).
- Then the Module supplies power to your starter for up to 6 seconds to start your engine.
- The Module monitors your engine tachometer so it knows when to stop cranking the engine.
- Then the Module turns on your heater or A/C. In the winter, leave your defroster on. In the summer, leave your A/C on.
- The Module keeps your vehicle running for a predetermined time and then shuts the engine off automatically. (Default is 15 minutes)
- To drive away, you unlock the doors, get in, put the key in the ignition, turn the key to the on position, and Drive.
Remote Car Starter Systems also have a "Timer Mode" so if going to be an extremely cold night,
you can set the timer to automatically start your vehicle every three hours and warm it up,
so it doesn't "freeze up" overnight and refuse to start in the morning.
Let's summarize:
- Enjoy the convenience of not having to scrape frost off your windows in the winter! No more FREEZING while waiting for your vehicle to warm up.
- And no more SIZZLING when hopping into a hot car and waiting for the A/C to work in the summer!
- Remote Car Starters are designed to start and warm-up your vehicle (or cool-it-down) in almost exactly the same way you start your vehicle with a key.
- Remote Car Starter Modules are connected to your ignition, your starter, your engine tachometer, your neutral safety switch, your parking lights, your heater and your A/C systems.
- You can start (and stop) your engine with the remote transmitter like the one shown on this site.
- You can also lock and unlock your doors if you vehicle is equipped with factory power door locks; if not, we can add locks to your vehicle.
- So it's like having "keyless entry" on your vehicle, but you can also remotely start it.
- And no one can drive away with your vehicle when it's warming up with the Remote Car Starter.
- First, there is no key in the ignition, so it cannot be shifted out of neutral into drive.
- Second, the doors remain locked.
- Third, if someone does enter your vehicle, touching the brake pedal (without putting a key in the ignition first) shuts off the engine.
- Fourth, if your vehicle is equipped with a factory anti-theft system (so that it cannot be started without your specific matching key), the Systems do not compromise your factory anti-theft protection, it remains active.
So for convenience and safety, let a Remote Car Starter warm up your car, not your key.
