Unlimited-Range Smartphone-Controlled Remote Start for 2019 Ram 1500

04/16/2020 By John Schwartz

Remote Starter with Unlimited Range

A customer recently came in with their 2019 Ram 1500, looking for an autostart. Since this customer travels a lot, he knew he wanted a remote with a long range to start his vehicle from the airport. We agreed on installing the Compustar Drone, a two-way remote start that you use from your phone with virtually unlimited range, as long as you and the vehicle are within cell service.

The customer also requested we add a kill switch to his vehicle so that he could turn the autostart off if he plans on leaving for a couple of weeks. We installed the kill switch near his steering wheel, which will give him the ability to turn the autostart module on and off easily.

Our customer was over the moon when he came to pick up his vehicle, knowing that he had a reliable remote start that will guarantee he stays warm all winter long, and can even cool down his vehicle on hot summer days.

Push-to-Start 2013 BMW X5 Gets Two-Way Remote Start Upgrade

2-Way Remote Car Starter Installation

Here at Perfectionist Auto Sound, we work closely with many car dealerships in Anchorage to service their vehicles. One of the dealerships recently came in with a client’s 2013 BMW X5, looking for a new remote start. Not only is this a complex vehicle on its own, but it also happened to be a push-to-start. Our techs are extremely experienced with European vehicles and are skilled and experienced in working with the complex wiring of a push-to-start button as opposed to standard key starts. We walked through many options for remotes while guaranteeing a clean and reliable install, as always. Eventually, we decided on the RFX-2WG15-FM, a two-way remote with a half-mile range. Two-way means that the remote will notify the client once the car starts through blinking LED lights and an audible tone, and even through their phone if using the Compustar Drone car-starting app.

We started the install with our standard procedure of doing a battery test, plugging the vehicle into a battery charger and checking all of the functions of the vehicle. We then finished up the install with our standard procedure of double-checking all of the functions of the vehicle and vacuuming the interior.

The dealership picked up the vehicle and delivered it to their client, who was so excited not have to go out into the cold any longer to warm up their car.

Long-Range Compustar Remote Start System on a 2018 Honda HRV

03/19/2020 By John Schwartz

A customer came in looking for an autostart for their 2018 Honda HRV. They had never had an autostart before, so we walked them through the differences between one- and two-way remotes. “Two-way” means they will be notified when the vehicle is started, locked or unlocked through an LED light, audible tone or LCD screen — even through a push notification if using the Compustar Drone. “One-way” means that the remote will still start the car, but it will not give you any notifications, so you would have to see the car to know that it started. We also talked to the customer about what kind of range they needed and if they would be using Drone, the app for your smartphone that allows you to start and stop your vehicle from your phone.

After talking with our customer, we decided to go with the RFX-P2WG15-SS, a two-way remote start that has a two-mile range. We installed the system using our standard procedure of checking all of the vehicle’s functions on an iPad, plugging it into a battery charger after doing a battery test, and soldering and taping all of the wire connections. After we completed the install, we double-checked all of the vehicle’s functions and vacuumed the interior as a final step.

The customer was so happy on picking up their vehicle, knowing that they would be warm every morning and not have to go out into the cold to start the vehicle! If you are looking for an autostart for your vehicle, feel free to give us a call or to contact us here.

Unlimited-Range Remote Start Upgrade for 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter

02/25/2020 By John Schwartz

A repeat client from Anchorage, Alaska, brought his 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van to our shop, looking for a new remote start. He had previously brought multiple vans to us for remote start installations, so he knew that he could trust us to provide a clean, efficient and reliable install.

As always, we started this install with a check-in using an iPad, which includes taking photos of the exterior, checking the functions of the vehicle and performing a battery test. We then put a battery charger on the vehicle with a fender cover to protect the vehicle’s paint from any scratches. Our techs prepped the install by soldering every connection, electrical-taping each connection and using JK Tapes — a cloth tape similar to the tape used in factory installations — to clean up the install.

We installed the Compustar T12 remote on this customer’s van, along with the Compustar drone. The T12 is Compustar’s newest and best two-way remote, with a maximum range of 3 miles. “Two-way” means he will be notified when the vehicle is started, locked or unlocked through the LCD screen — and even through a push notification when using the Compustar DroneMobile app.

When he came to pickup the vehicle, our client was smiling and so excited to be able to continue to stay warm in his vans, and stay cool in our hot summers.
