Owning a remote car starter has many benefits. Most remote car starters allow owners to start their vehicles from approximately 600-1000 feet away. Remote car start not only allows you to start your vehicle remotely, but most include a keyless entry system, allowing owners to lock and unlock their vehicles from a distance.
The most obvious and convenient benefit of having a remote car starter is the ability to let your car warm up in the winter or cool down in the summer. Homeowners simply have to leave the heating or air conditioning on the night before. When you’re ready to drive, you can start your vehicle from the comfort of your home and allow it to warm up in winter or cool down to a comfortable driving temperature in summer. In winter, you can also choose to leave the defroster on the night before.
It is a general rule among car users that they should allow their vehicle to run for a few minutes before driving. This saves the life of your engine and allows your oil to become viscous before you drive, which in turn increases the life and value of your vehicle overall. Having a remote start and keyless entry system also serves as a great selling point for when you are ready to sell your vehicle.
These systems also provide additional security for their owners. It’s possible for criminals to duplicate vehicle keys, but keyless entry systems work digitally via messages sent to the vehicle, making them nearly impossible to duplicate or hack, at least for the average car thief.
Remote car start and keyless entry systems add general convenience to your daily activities, like shopping. With a keyless entry system, you can get in and out of your vehicle with ease and without the constant hassle of fumbling for keys, especially when your hands are full.
With advancing technologies and the ubiquitous use of mobile phones to perform daily activities, many remote starters have a mobile app option that allows owners to start their vehicle from their phone anytime, anywhere.
In closing, remote car start and keyless entry add a variety of benefits including security and general convenience to our everyday lives.
