Winter mornings can be brutal. You step outside into below-freezing temperatures, armed with an ice scraper, and spend precious minutes trying to clear your windshield. Then, you sit in your ice-cold car, waiting for the heater to kick in while your breath fogs up the windows. Sound familiar? If this has ever been your morning, you’re not alone. But what if I told you there’s a way to skip all of that and start your day warm, comfortable, and stress-free?
Enter our remote start systems. It's honestly crazy how life-changing these simple yet powerful additions to your vehicle can be. Here are 10 reasons why you’ll wonder how you ever survived without a remote start.
1. Start Your Day Warm and Comfortable
There’s nothing worse than hopping into an icebox on wheels. With a remote start system, you can warm up your car before you even step outside. Imagine sipping your morning coffee while your car’s heater is already working to melt away the frost and heat up your interior.
Plus, if you have heated seats, those will be warmed up and ready to go for your morning commute!
2. Save Precious Morning Minutes
Mornings are hectic. Whether you’re rushing to work, dropping kids off at school, or heading to an appointment, every minute counts. Remote starts let you skip the tedious process of warming up your car manually. You'll no longer have to run out in the cold to start your car, and it can pretty much defrost itself by the time you’re ready to leave.
You’ll be amazed at how much time this saves, especially on those mornings when every second feels like a race against the clock.
3. Enhance Your Safety
Driving with frosted or fogged-up windows isn’t just annoying—it’s dangerous. A remote start system helps to melt the ice on your windshield before you even get in the car, making the final removal much easier. This helps to provide maximum visibility and reduce the risk of accidents, rather than leaving a bunch of frost still lingering.
Plus, warming up your engine gradually in cold weather is better for your car. Cold starts can be harsh on your engine, and over time, this wear and tear can lead to costly repairs.
4. Extend Your Vehicle’s Lifespan
Speaking of engine wear, did you know that a remote start can actually help your car last longer? All too often when we're rushing in the morning, it's too easy to start your car and get on the road so the car heats up faster.
The problem is that when your oil isn't warmed up enough, it adds a lot of extra strain on your engine. By allowing your engine oil to warm up properly before driving, you’re reducing the strain on vital engine components.
5. Total Convenience at Your Fingertips
With options like single or multi-button remotes and even smartphone integration with Drone Mobile, remote start systems offer unparalleled convenience. You can start your car from virtually anywhere—whether you’re at home, the office, or at the top of the mountain for your last run down.
For tech-savvy users, Drone Mobile is a game-changer. It can pair with any 2-way remote system if you choose or function entirely from your phone, offering real-time status updates and control from anywhere you have service.
6. Never Forget to Lock Your Car Again
Have you ever second-guessed whether you locked your car? Two-way remotes solve this problem by giving you instant confirmation. With our simpler single and multi button remotes, you'll see a light flash letting you know the car actually locked. With our T-12 model or using Drone Mobile, you'll get visual confirmation on the display showing the vehicle locked.
It’s a small feature that provides peace of mind, especially when your hands are full, or you’re in a rush. With Drone Mobile, you can even check and lock your car from your phone, no matter where you are.
7. Beat the Heat in Summer
While a remote start is a lifesaver in winter, it’s just as valuable during the scorching summer months. Nobody likes getting into a car that feels like an oven, with a steering wheel and seats too hot to touch.
Just as a remote start can pre-heat your vehicle, they can also pre-cool your vehicle, so it’s comfortable by the time you’re ready to hit the road. As much as remote starts are advertised as a winter-focused upgrade, they work phenomenally all year round to make your vehicle more comfortable.
8. Impress with Cutting-Edge Technology
Modern remote start systems come packed with features that make your car feel like a high-tech gadget. Advanced 2-way remotes offer sleek designs and extended range, while systems like Drone Mobile bring the latest in smartphone integration.
When paired, these systems give you full control over your vehicle’s locks, climate, and more—all from the palm of your hand. You’ll feel like you’re living in the future every time you use it.
9. Control Multiple Vehicles with Ease
If you own more than one vehicle, a remote start system can simplify your life even further. Drone Mobile actually allows you to control multiple cars from the same device without needing to add several additional key fobs to your keychain.
This is especially handy for families with multiple drivers or those with a daily driver and a weekend vehicle. Whether you’re warming up your SUV for a road trip or cooling down your sedan after work, switching between vehicles is seamless.
10. Affordable Luxury Within Reach
You might think that remote start is a luxury reserved for high-end vehicles, but the truth is, it’s more affordable than ever. With options ranging from basic one-way remotes to advanced systems with smartphone integration, there’s a solution for every budget and just about every vehicle.
Conclusion: Why a Remote Start?
Winter mornings don’t have to be stressful. With a remote start system, you can enjoy the comfort, convenience, and peace of mind that come with stepping into a perfectly prepared car. From warming up in the winter to cooling down in the summer, a remote start system is a year-round game-changer.
