Remote Starters

A remote starter as the name suggests allows you to start your vehicle's engine remotely. If you've purchased a modern car, this liklely was included as a feature. However, if your didn't come with it - it can also be installed as an after market accessory. Typically this would mean getting a second key which allows you this added functionality and integrating a key-less entry component within the same key.

This is of significant benefit during our harsh winter months. Having the option of entering a warm toasty car with the steering wheel that isn't cold to the touch is truly something to look forward to. On the other hand, when the summer is at it's peak in July/August - you can go to the other extreme and enter a vehicle that is cool and welcoming.

Safety Features

Having the window defoggers set can ensure you spend minimal time in the cold trying to scrape away the ice from your windshields.
If the heat is turned on, it also melts away any ice buildup on the inside of the car which is harder to scrape away.
Some remote starters come equip with safety features of locking your vehicle if it is remote started. This prevents someone from entering your vehicle and driving away.

Better Fuel Economy

When your vehicle has been sitting in a parking lot for an entire work-day, the recommendation is to warm it up for a few minutes before driving away. Warming the engine has the direct effect of bringing it to an optimal operating temperature, allowing the Engine Oil to flow more freely
