Sleek 2014 Audi RS5 Gets Rigid Industries Fog Light Upgrade

05/11/2021 By John Schwartz

One of our repeat clients from Anchorage swung by with his sleek-looking 2014 Audi RS5 for a fog light upgrade. He wanted to increase visibility while driving at night, and wanted to make sure the lighting was durable and built to last. We had the perfect solution for him.

We selected the Rigid Industries SR-Series Fog Lights because they are SAE-compliant, meaning they can be used on-road, not just off-road like many aftermarket lights. These lights are designed with a patented Clarilux optic system to spread the light evenly across the lighting pattern, and are less likely to produce glare for oncoming drivers. We integrated the mounting pods into the bottom center of the grille, and wired a switch inside the car so the driver can control them independently from other lights as needed.

Smartphone-Controlled Remote Start Upgrade for 2021 Audi Q5

04/27/2021 By John Schwartz

One of our regular clients from Anchorage brought her 2021 Audi Q5 to us to get a remote start system installed. Cold winter mornings would be no match for this beautiful new car.

We chose a Compustar RFX-FT2600-SS two-way remote kit paired with a Compustar CMVWXMAO control module for easy control from the remote key fob, or from her smartphone via the DroneMobile app. We used a T-harness so none of the vehicle wiring had to be modified to make the system work, although one of the OEM key fobs had to be sacrificed to integrate the new system. The OEM Audi push-to-start ignition system still operates normally, and you’d never be able to tell anything on the vehicle was ever modified.

2021 Mercedes Sprinter Van Gets Unlimited-Range Remote Start Upgrade

03/30/2021 By John Schwartz

One of our repeat clients brought his 2021 Mercedes Sprinter to our team to get a remote start system installed. He was looking to be able to start the Sprinter from indoors or long distances, with full control from his smartphone. We jumped at the chance to help him out!

We selected a Compustar T12 Remote Kit combined with a Mid City Engineering vehicle-specific harness that gives him plenty of range to start the Mercedes from anywhere using the DroneMobile smartphone app. The vehicle’s push-to-start ignition system still performs the same way it always has, but required an additional charge for the integration to make the factory security and theft prevention systems work perfectly. With this integration, one of the OEM keys had to be sacrificed to integrate the new system. Our technicians integrated everything so you would never see anything out of the ordinary other than the new remote control fobs.

Compustar Long-Range Remote Start Upgrade for 2013 Subaru Impreza

03/09/2021 By John Schwartz

A new client who was referred by a friend brought her 2013 Subaru Impreza to us to get a remote start system for it. She wanted to be able to start the vehicle from indoors, so our team walked her through some remote start system options, and we got her fixed up.

We selected a Compustar 7900AS system with an RF-2WT9 remote that gives her two-way control and feedback on the vehicle’s current status, and has plenty of range to start it from wherever she needs to. This kit includes a Compustar FT7000-AS that provides a robust platform for both remote start and full alarm functionality to protect her investment. We also installed an FT-DAS sensor that detects impacts to the vehicle and tilting from jacking or towing to complete the package.

2019 Mazda CX-5 Push-to-Start Upgraded With Compustar Remote Start

03/02/2021 By John Schwartz

A new client who was referred by a friend brought her 2019 Mazda CX-5 to us to see about getting a remote start system installed in it. She wanted to be able to start the vehicle from a good distance away, but wasn’t sure if it could be done to her push-to-start car. Our team works on a huge number of push-to-start vehicles with remote start systems, so we jumped at the chance to get one installed for her.

We selected a Compustar RF2WR3-FM remote starter that gives her two-way control and feedback on the vehicle status, with plenty of range to start it from inside her home or workplace. The vehicle’s push-to-start ignition system still works the same way, and all the factory security and theft prevention systems remain intact and functional. Unless you noticed her remote control, you’d never know anything was ever done to the vehicle.
