If you live in a cold climate you know how difficult it can be having to scrape the ice from your windshield, feel the cold steering wheel in your hands, and painfully anticipate your vehicle being warm enough that you no longer see your breath.
One of the most popular and convenient features on new vehicles is a remote starter. Remote starters allow you to start your car remotely in the same way you would use a remote to lock or unlock the vehicle.
What many people don’t know is that if a remote starter is not included on your vehicle, you can add it aftermarket at any time. By allowing you to start your car from a comfortable location prior to driving, not only can remote starters eliminate the discomfort involved with cold climates but it can also increase safety, engine life and resale value.
Visibility & Safety
Heating your car before hitting the icy roads can allow for greater visibility, not only for you, but also for other drivers. By allowing the windows to defrost, you can more easily spot road hazards and other drivers. A warm car will also facilitate the snow to fall from your lights and turn signals, making you more visible to other driver.
Engine Life
When your car is idling in the cold, the oil in the engine is allowed to warm up and develop a consistency better suited to lubricate the engine. It is also better for your climate control system to not be turned on until the engine is allowed time to warm up. Driving a pre-warmed car, as opposed to a frozen one, can greatly increase the life of your engine.
Resale Value
When it comes time to sell your vehicle, small additions and accessories can indicate to the buyer that you cared for your vehicle. Additionally, having the newest amenities can justify I higher asking price. Your remote starter installation can pay for itself when it comes time for resale!
