5 Myths about Remote Starters
Top 5 Myths about Remote Car Starters
Every winter, we sell and install thousands of remote starters in Omaha. But every year, we also talk with customers who are wary of remote starters because they've heard mistaken information about how they work. We’ve seen so many happy customers drive away with remote sta
rters from Stereo West Autotoys that we decided to share our expertise and let consumers know the truth out about remote starters.
Myth #1: Getting a Remote Car Starter Will Void Your Warranty
False! Quite the opposite. Many new car dealers actually contract companies to install remote starters for their newest vehicles. If you get a low-quality product or a shoddy installation job, it can harm your vehicle and affect your warranty. Fortunately, the experienced professionals at Stereo West only use the best products and adhere to the highest industry standards of installation.
Myth #2: Remote Car Starters Hurt Your Engine
Actually, allowing the oil in your engine enough time to heat up before you drive in cold weather is good for the engine. Preheating thins the oil and increases the lifespan of your drivetrain.
Myth #3: I can install my own remote car starter, right?
We’ve seen this go wrong so many times. Unless you are a very experienced professional, you can do serious damage both to the remote starter and your vehicle by attempting a do-it-yourself installation. Most cars have very complex electrical systems, so installation requires knowledge of multiplexed wiring and Can-BUS networks. For an expert installation that is guaranteed to satisfy, trust the experts at Stereo West for your remote starter installation.
Myth #4: My car has a manual transmission, so I can’t get a remote starter.
Guess again! Stereo West can install remote starters in manual transmission vehicles.
Myth #5: I can’t get a remote start because I have a diesel engine.
If you are the owner of a diesel engine vehicle, Stereo West can absolutely install a remote starter. Diesel engine owners actually see the biggest benefits from their remote starters because diesel engines take so long to warm up in the colder months.
The verdict is in!
