A key fob isn’t a security system

Most factory systems only lock the doors. A real alarm senses a break-in, makes noise and lets you know. That’s often all it takes for a thief to move on to the next car.

Questions we hear a lot

Can you add remote start to a push-to-start car?

Yes. Most push-to-start cars can take a remote starter with the right bypass module. Send us the year, make and model and we’ll tell you which system fits.

How long does remote start installation take?

Most installs take a few hours, so many customers wait in the shop or drop the car off in the morning and pick it up the same day.

Will remote start void my car’s warranty?

Not on its own. Under the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a manufacturer can’t void your whole warranty just because aftermarket parts are installed; they would have to show the part caused the problem. A clean, professional install is the best protection.

Will a hardwired dash cam drain my battery?

Not when it’s wired properly. We use hardwire kits with a low-voltage cut-off, so parking mode switches off before the battery gets too low to start the car.

Isn’t my factory key fob enough?

A factory fob locks the doors, but most cars don’t have a real alarm with shock and tilt sensors. A dedicated system makes noise, alerts you, and gives thieves a reason to move on.

What’s the difference between 1-way and 2-way?

A 1-way remote sends commands to the car. A 2-way remote also talks back — it confirms the car started or locked and pages you if the alarm goes off.

Can I start my car from my phone?

Yes. Smart Start style modules let you lock, unlock and start the car from an app, with no range limit as long as the car has signal.

Can you install the same day?

Most installs and tint jobs are finished the same day. Bigger custom builds take longer; we’ll give you a pickup time before we start.
