Remote Start

Communication Range

The communication range of a remote start system indicates the distance from which your remote can interact with your vehicle. At home, a shorter range may be adequate, but at work, you might prefer a longer range to start your car and allow it to heat up or cool down while you walk from your office to the parking area. For frequent shoppers, a greater range lets you start your car while still in line at the checkout. Basic remote start systems usually have limited ranges, so it's important to determine your specific needs to choose the right system.

Enhanced Assurance

A two-way remote start system offers bidirectional communication between you and your vehicle. Unlike a standard one-way remote starter, which only sends a command, a two-way system confirms that your command has been successfully executed. This means you can trust that your vehicle has started and is achieving a comfortable temperature, even when it’s out of sight.

Smartphone Connectivity

With smartphones being ubiquitous, why not leverage them for more functionality? Some remote start systems can connect to your phone via a free app, allowing you to use your smartphone instead of a key fob. For this feature to work, both your system and your phone need internet access, either through Wi-Fi or a data plan. With this connectivity, you can start your car from virtually anywhere using your iPhone or Android device. A small monthly subscription fee keeps your remote start system operational.
