Common Questions About Remote Starters
Can I add a remote starter to my current vehicle?
Yes. Most newer vehicles can be upgraded safely when installed by a professional.
Will it void my warranty?
No. Our installations are OEM-compatible and do not void factory warranties.
Can I start my car with my phone?
Yes. Many of our systems include app control, allowing you to start, lock, or locate your vehicle from anywhere.
How far away can I start my car?
That depends on the remote you choose. Basic remotes work from about 1,000 feet away, while advanced models like the Compustar T13 can start your vehicle from up to 3 miles away or virtually anywhere using a smartphone connection.
Can I get a remote starter if my car has push-to-start or keyless ignition?
Absolutely. We install systems designed specifically for push-button and keyless vehicles, including most newer cars, trucks, and SUVs.
Is installation different for manual transmission vehicles?
Yes. Manual transmissions require a special safety sequence and additional sensors, but we perform those installations regularly and guarantee proper operation.
How long does installation take?
Most remote start installations take about half a day to complete, depending on the vehicle. We recommend dropping your car off when we open and pickup around lunch. Or drop off at lunch and pick up at close.
Will a remote starter drain my battery?
No. Remote starters only run your vehicle for a limited time (typically 10–15 minutes) and are designed to operate just as if you started the car yourself. If your car battery is healthy, you’ll have no issues.
Can a remote starter be combined with a security or alarm system?
Yes. Many customers upgrade to a combined remote start and security package that locks, unlocks, starts, and protects the vehicle from theft or intrusion.
Do I need a spare key for installation?
Some vehicles require a spare key for programming(very few), while others can be programmed digitally. We’ll let you know what’s needed after we review your vehicle make and model.
Can you install remote start systems on luxury or European vehicles?
Yes. We routinely install systems on Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Lexus, and other high-end vehicles. These vehicles often require specialized modules, which we supply and program in-house.
How much does a remote starter cost?
It depends on your vehicle and the features you choose. Basic systems start around $400 installed, and smartphone-controlled systems typically range higher. Contact us for a free quote.
