If anyone attempts to drive away without the key in the ignition, the engine will shut off as soon as you put your foot on the brake pedal.
What is the difference between 1 Way and 2 Way Remotes?
One way: Our most inexpensive solution, offering ranges up to 3000 feet. This model will provide reliable range but will give no audible feedback as to when your vehicle starts.
Two way: With ranges varying from 3000 up to 15,000 feet a two way will give you longer range than your standard one way, as well as giving two way feedback. Meaning when you press that button you’ll know exactly when your vehicle does or does not start, ensuring a toasty vehicle every time!
My vehicle has manual transmission, can I have a remote starter installed?
Answer: Yes, we offer remote start and security packages that work on most manual transmission vehicles. Usually it requires leaving the vehicle in neutral and setting the emergency brake before removing the key. In manual transmission reservation mode this will keep your vehicle running while you exit and shut all doors. The engine will then shut off and if your remote system is 2-way it can send a signal back to the remote.
