Compustar Prime Remote Start Upgrade on 2019 Honda HR-V

By

A client from Anchorage, Alaska, brought her 2019 Honda HR-V into our shop, looking for a new remote start. As with all of our projects, we started this install with a check-in using an iPad, which includes taking photos of the interior and 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 its paint from any scratches.

During the install, our techs solder every connection and wrap the wires in electrical tape, followed by using JK Tapes — a cloth tape similar to the type used in a factory — to clean up the install.

We installed the Compustar Prime G15 remote on this customer’s van, along with the Compustar Drone. The Prime G15 is a two-way remote with a maximum range of half a mile. “Two-way” means that the customer will be alerted when the vehicle is started, locked or unlocked through an LED notification — even through a push notification when using the Compustar DroneMobile app.

When our client came to pick up the vehicle, she was smiling and so excited to be able to continue to stay warm all winter, and stay cool in our hot summers.

If you need a new autostart, contact us here at Perfectionist Auto Sound and Security, or just stop by and one of our sales associates or technicians will be happy to help you.

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

By

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.

Two-Way Compustar Remote Start Upgrade for 2019 Nissan Titan

By

A repeat customer from Anchorage, AK, came into our shop recently, looking for a new remote start for their 2019 Nissan Titan. They knew they wanted a remote with a longer range because they are usually a good distance from their car when they want it to start. We decided on the Compustar P2WG15, a two-way remote with a range of 2 miles. “Two-way” means they will be notified when the vehicle is started, locked or unlocked through an LED light and an audible tone — even through a push notification when using the Compustar Drone, the app for your smartphone.

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. Then, our techs prepped the install by soldering every connection, electrical-taping each connection and then using JK Tapes — a cloth tape similar to the tape used in factory — to clean up the install.

The customer picked up their vehicle and was ecstatic at the quick and efficient job we had done.

If you or anyone you know would like to stay warm all winter, or cool all summer, stop by Perfectionist Auto Sound and Security or contact us here and one of our experienced staff would be more than happy to assist you.

2018 Audi Q8 Gets Smartphone-Controlled Long-Range Remote Start

By

In the midst of auto start season here in Anchorage, Alaska, we see customers come in every day with all types of vehicles. From Toyotas to BMWs, from the 1990s to 2020s, we see it all. It is always exciting, though, seeing a newer vehicle come in that not many installers have worked on. After consulting with a customer who has a 2018 Audi Q8 and talking about her specific needs and preferences, we decided on the Pro G15, a two-way remote with a range of 2 miles. “Two-way” meaning she 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 she’s using the Compustar Drone.

We start every 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 prep the install by soldering every connection; electrical-taping each connection; and then using JK Tapes, a cloth tape similar to the tape used in factory, to clean up the install. In this case, the installation took place in the trunk of the vehicle, rather than the driver’s-side dash.

Since this 2018 Audi Q8 is a push-to-start, it also goes to show how experienced our technicians are at installing auto starts, especially for European vehicles.

The next time you’re looking for an autostart and need highly skilled and trained installers to work on your complex European vehicle, Perfectionist Auto Sound and Security will take care of you.

BMW Remote Starter Systems

By

BMW Remote StarterBMW makes the “Ultimate Driving Machine,” but one thing their vehicles lack is a remote starter. But never fear: Perfectionist Auto Sound & Security can add a BMW remote starter to many popular models.

Trust The BMW Expert Technicians At Perfectionist

BMW Remote StarterYou may be thinking, “My BMW has a very sophisticated electrical system with lots of onboard computers, so I don’t want just anyone working on it.” You are correct. What you should know is that Perfectionist employs the finest remote start technicians available anywhere and that your BMW does not intimidate us. In fact, we know the electrical system in your vehicle very well. It is called a CAN-BUS network, and our team has given trainings all over the world on properly integrating with this style of electrical system. Yes, we said all over the world – Perfectionist has given trainings as far away as Australia.

We Offer The Finest BMW Remote Starter Systems Available

Our remote start partner, Compustar, is world-renowned for the quality of their products. They are so confident in our expertise that they have asked us to train their dealers on proper installation standards.

So can you be completely comfortable that Perfectionist can start your BMW and keep your warranty intact? Absolutely. Our team can safely integrate a remote starter into your BMW and keep all of its safety features and anti-theft features intact. Even if you have a leased vehicle, you have no concerns when you work with us.

Our BMW Remote Starter Systems Are Custom-Tailored To Your Car

Our BMW remote starters are specifically designed for the make and model of your vehicle. We do not sell a universal, off-the-shelf product like many of our competitors use. Our systems get loaded with the same communication software used by your factory computer, and the vehicle is getting the same communication as if you were in the vehicle asking it to start. By doing this, we eliminate any possibilities of problems down the road.

Perfectionist Auto Sound & Security has three different options for you to start your vehicle.

  1. We can use the factory key fob you currently own. You simply press the lock button three times to start your vehicle. The advantage here is not having to carry around a second key fob. The major disadvantage is range, as you are limited to the range with the BMW fob, which is usually less than 100 feet.
  2. BMW Remote StarterWe can add a small, one-button remote control with greatly increased range over the factory fob. We will supply you with two remotes, and one will even be a two-way design. This style of remote gets confirmation back from the vehicle when the engine has started, so you have complete confidence that it is warming up for you. These one-button remotes come as a no-cost option on our systems.
  3. Smartphone control over your BMW remote starter is gaining in popularity every year. Now you can harness the power of your phone to start your vehicle almost anywhere. As long as your phone has Internet access and the module we install in your vehicle can access the Internet, you can start your vehicle from anywhere. It opens up a whole new world of convenience for you.

If you would like to forget about going out to a cold vehicle, and want scraping ice off windows to become a distant memory, come see us. The team at Perfectionist Auto Sound & Security will work one on one with you to find the best solution for your needs. Let us show you why Mobile Electronics magazine has named us the Top Mobile Electronics Retailer in the United States two different times.
