2015 BMW 500X Gets Long-Range Two-Way Remote Start Upgrade

05/14/2020 By John Schwartz

A client came in with their 2015 BMW 550X, looking for a new remote start. Here at Perfectionist Auto Sound, our techs are extremely experienced with European vehicles, so we could walk through many options with our client while guaranteeing a clean and reliable install. Eventually, we decided on the RFX-2WT9-FM, a two-way remote with a half-mile range. “Two-way” means that the remote notifies you when the vehicle is started, locked or unlocked through the LCD screen, an audible tone and even through your phone when using the Compustar Drone car-starting app.

The client was smiling and happy on picking up their vehicle, knowing that they could now enjoy a warm and cozy vehicle for the long winter months, or a cool vehicle during our sweltering summers.

For more information about our remote starts, check out the remote start section of our website for the full rundown on all of the great remote start packages and features that we have available. Contact us here for more information, or better yet, just drop by in person and any one of our team would be happy to help you.

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.

Remote Start for ’06 BMW X5 as Holiday Gift

03/11/2016 By John Schwartz

During the holidays, we sell a lot of gift cards for remote starts and audio systems. This particular customer purchased a gift card for his girlfriend and scheduled an appointment for her in advance.

We installed a Compustar RF-2W940-SS remote starter kit on her 2006 BMW X5 a few weeks later. The RF-2W940-SS has silicone covers to help protect the remote and they come in a pack of three, each in a different color: pink, clear and black.

We love installing remote starts on any vehicle. New, old; foreign, domestic; basic, luxury – we’re your remote start experts, no matter what vehicle you drive, as shown by the joy this customer now has with her new remote start on her BMW X5.
