The Benefits of Owning a Remote Car Starter

Remote Car StarterRalph’s Radio in Vancouver and Victoria has been selling and installing remote car starter products as long as they have existed. When you have been in business since 1949, you have the luxury of being experts in many of the technologies in the automotive world.

Every year, more and more people ask us this simple question: What are the benefits and convenience of a remote car starter? It is a great question, so follow along as we explore the answers.

A Remote Car Starter Gives You A Climate-Controlled Vehicle

Let’s take a second and think about your perfect day. What would the temperature be on that day? 24 degrees? Well, while we can’t have every day in British Columbia be that perfect temperature, your car, truck or SUV can be the perfect temperature inside. On a cold, rainy day in the winter, going out to a warm, cozy vehicle is a wonderful thing. In the summer when it gets hot, wouldn’t it be great to go out to a vehicle that is noticeably cooler than the temperature outside? If these scenarios appeal to you, a remote starter should go on your shopping list.

Control It With Your Smartphone Or Apple Watch

Remote Car StarterWhat if we told you that remote starting your vehicle is as simple as using an app on your iPhone, Android phone or Apple Watch? The DroneMobile system from Compustar harnesses the power of your smartphone and the Internet to give you the ultimate in convenience. You don’t need to carry around a separate remote, and the operating range is almost limitless.

One-Way And Two-Way Systems Available Here

Your existing keyless entry system uses one-way technology to communicate with your vehicle. You push a button on your remote and it sends a command to the vehicle. What if your remote could get communication back from the vehicle that the command has been executed? Well, it can if you buy a two-way system from Ralph’s. Every command you make gets confirmed back, so you know for sure that your doors are locked or your engine has started.

Warming Up Your Engine Is Good For It

Have you ever noticed that your car doesn’t seem as powerful when you first get in it, compared to when you have driven down the road for awhile? As the engine gets heat in it, it becomes more efficient and the fluids designed to protect it flow more freely. Remote starting your vehicle has the same effect, so now when you are ready to drive off, your engine is warmed up and ready to go.
