What are Remote Car Starters?

These devices are wireless and radio-frequency-controlled. They can start your car’s engine from a specified distance. Some models work at a range of 500 feet to1, 000 feet while others work out further distances. 

A car starter system uses devices like key fobs or small remote controls with buttons to start the ignition. They can also lock and unlock doors, turn on the AC or heater, pop the trunk, or warm up the seats. By pressing the ignition button on the key fob or remote control, a box connected to the ignition switch will get a radio signal and start the engine. The signal is unique to every mote starter system, so interference with other remote starter systems is not an issue. 

Why Get a Remote Car Starter?

A remote car starter from Tech Teinte will make your commutes easier on you and your car this winter. The company also has other auto products such as car window tint, windshield, accessories, and more. Here’s why:

  • It gives you a comfortable ride. Your remote car starter will let the inside of your vehicle heat up before you need to get in and drive it. This will create a comfortable ride for you. 
  • It ensures a safer commute. The heat from your vehicle melts on the ice on the windows and windshield. As a result, the ice can be easily scraped away and increase your visibility. Also, a warm car melts any snow and ice covering your headlights and brake lights, for better visibility. 
  • It promotes engine care. Your engine will also benefit from a warm car. For the climate control system to produce warm air, the engine should first warm-up as it runs. As your vehicle idles for several minutes before you drive it, the engine oil becomes more viscous and offers better lubrication when you are ready to go.
  • It boosts security. A lot of auto remote starters have buil- in anti-theft security features. These features ensure the doors stay locked when you start your vehicle remotely. And because the ignition key should be inserted before driving, the engine will shut off upon pressing the break when an intruder manages to break into your running car and tries to drive off.
