Perfectionist Offers Leather Upgrades for our Anchorage Clients

03/25/2017 By Staff

Perfectionist Auto Sound and Security in Anchorage offers Katzkins leather upgrades for cars, trucks and SUVs.

When you go to buy a new vehicle, did you notice that leather seating often means buying thousands of dollars in options that you may not want? It can also put the vehicle at a price that is out of your budget. Fortunately, we have you covered.

Leather Upgrades Don’t Have to Cost a Fortune

Now that you know you can have the vehicle you have always wanted and add leather, why drive a vehicle with a cloth interior? We all know how leather feels to the touch. The scent alone is inviting. When you factor in how long a leather interior will last when cared for properly, it is a logical investment.

More Color Options and Styles

When you look at the options for leather on many vehicles, they are often limited to a single color. What if we told you that Perfectionist Auto Sound and Security could offer you multiple colors, not just one? To make it even more appealing, we often have two-tone packages for the seating to make whatever you drive to look more exotic. For some vehicles, we even have contrasting stitching or piping to give you an even more unusual look.

Improve the Resale Value

At some point, it is going to be time to sell your ride and move on to something new. All things being equal, a vehicle with leather interior will be worth more money than something done in cloth – and you will likely find it sells faster as well.

If Car Dealers Trust Us, So Can You

Car dealers all around Anchorage know that offering leather upgrade packages to their clients will help them sell more vehicles. Whom do they call? Why, us, of course. If they can trust us with their valued customers, you can trust with your vehicle.

Add Heated Seats as the Final Touch

While we are installing your leather interior upgrade, ask us about adding heated seats to your vehicle. If you have ever been in a vehicle that has these, you already know they are wonderful. The heat not only warms your body, but also soothes your back and relaxes your muscles.

Product Spotlight: Metra IBHS1 Seat Heaters

12/17/2016 By Staff

We are installing a lot of remote car starters here at Perfectionist Auto Sound and Security now that the weather is cold. We offer several options with our Compustar remote starters – you can add security features, and we can activate functions like your rear window defroster or heated seats automatically. If your vehicle doesn’t already have heated seats, then we offer the Metra IBHS1 seat heaters to solve that.

Metra IBHS1 Carbon Fiber Seat Kits

We can install aftermarket seat heaters in most vehicles. We use the IBHS1 seat heater kits from Metra. Each kit includes a pair of 9×18-inch heating pads, an illuminated three-position switch and a wiring harness. The heating elements use flexible carbon fiber threads to allow the pads to conform to the seat cushion perfectly. The pads are thick enough to be undetectable once installed.

Illuminated Control Switch

Each seat heating kit has an illuminated two-position control switch. The mechanical switch has high, low and off positions with an LED that illuminates when the system is on. The beauty of a mechanical switch is that you can leave it turned on when you get out of your car and when you remote start the car, the seats start to warm up right away.

Fast Warm-up Time

Each heating pad is rated to produce about 25 watts of heat. The pads have a built-in thermostat that keeps the temperature between 115 and 135 degrees. This power level allows the seat heater kit to warm up quickly.

Quality Perfectionist Installation

To properly install a seat heating kit, we remove the seats from your vehicle and carefully disassemble them on our bench. Then we remove the upholstery and secure the heating pad in place. We solder every electrical connection in the vehicle to ensure maximum reliability and conductivity. We protect and conceal the wiring with Tesa cloth tape. Once we have installed the heating elements in your seat and reassembled it, you can’t even tell we worked on it.

Tired of getting into a cold vehicle? Drop into Perfectionist Auto Sound and Security in Anchorage, Alaska, today. We will look over your car or truck and provide you with a quote to install seat heaters and a remote car starter.

Product Spotlight: Compustar RF-2W902

11/05/2016 By Staff

Here at Perfectionist Auto Sound and Security, we are the experts in remote start systems and we are always looking for the best products to meet our clients’ needs. The Compustar brand has become a big part of our business, and the Compustar RF-2W902 is a great product that we are pleased to recommend to our clients.

Great-looking Five-button Remote

Of course, any remote start or security system starts with the remote control. That is the part of the system that you interact with the most every day. The RF-2W902 has two oversized buttons for the Lock and Unlock feature, making it easy to find these buttons in the dark or if you are operating them with gloves on. Down the side of the remote, a function button gives you additional programming and operation options, a trunk release and the remote start button. The unit comes with a four-button second remote and an antenna.

Compustar RF-2W902 Has Up to 3,000 Feet of Range

The question we are asked most often is about range. With its Superheterodyne Plus Technology, this unit can start your vehicle from up to 3,000 feet away. This gives you the option to get your vehicle started and warming up if your office is far away from the parking lot or to give your vehicle that much more time to run before you arrive.

Two-way–start Confirmation

Most entry-level remotes are one way and will not give you confirmation that your vehicle has started. The RF-2W902 is a two-way and the blue LED on the remote will receive a confirmation back that your vehicle has indeed started and is warming up. No surprises or arriving at a cold vehicle that failed to start.

Tons of Flexibility for Your Vehicle

Do you drive a diesel that has to activate a glow plug? Maybe you have a manual transmission or a push-to-start vehicle. No problem: The RF-W902 will work with all of these. You can even connect an auxiliary output to activate your heated seats or rear window defroster.

Come on by Perfectionist Auto Sound and Security and let our sales and installation experts see if the RF-2W902 is a good choice for your vehicle, or click here for more information.

Product Spotlight: Compustar RF-1WG9

11/04/2016 By Staff

Here at Perfectionist Auto Sound and Security, we take remote start very seriously and only install the best units we can find – ones that will hold up to the harsh winters that we have in Alaska. Pairing the best equipment with our expert installation will give you the reliability that our clients have come to expect. The Compustar RF-1WG9 is one of those units.

It All Starts with the Range

For your car to be warmed up and ready to go, your remote has to have enough range to give your vehicle a head start. The 1WG9 will start your vehicle from up to 3,000 feet away with its exclusive Superheterodyne Plus Technology. That will start your vehicle from home or the office, even when you don’t have line of sight, and give it plenty of time to warm up before you arrive to drive off.

Simple and Great-looking Remote

The remote is the part of the system that you interact with the most. The 1WG9 is well-designed and easy to understand. The Lock and Unlock buttons at the top are intuitive, thanks to easy-to-understand graphics. The trunk release is the third down, and the key button at the bottom will start your vehicle when you hold it down for 2.5 seconds.

Lots of Options

The 1WG9 will work with any of the Compustar remote start units and can be used with manual transmission, diesel engines and push-to-start vehicles. It can be programmed for up to two vehicles, and auxiliary outputs can be connected to window defrosters or heated seats for added convenience.

Trust Your Local Experts

The most important part of any remote start system is the installation. By starting with the best equipment on the market and continuing with a first-class installation, you get the best value anywhere.

Contact us here at Perfectionist Auto Sound and Security for more information on what we can do for your vehicle. With our fully operational display and demo vehicles, we can show you all the options to help you chose the best system for your needs. Then you can enjoy getting into a nice warm vehicle through the entirety of the upcoming winter here in Alaska.

Wasilla Client Stays Warm with Heated Seats and Remote Start

10/08/2016 By Staff

At Perfectionist Auto Sound and Security, one of our greatest pleasures is hearing back from clients about how much they love their new products. We only sell products that we would install in our own vehicles. Because of this, we aren’t surprised that our clients fall in love with their vehicle upgrades, but we do love hearing when it happens.

Warm Car Comfort for Commuting

The other day, we heard from a client who travels daily from Wasilla to Eagle River for his job. Recently, we installed a remote start and heated seats in his vehicle, and he was excited to call us and give a positive report.

With a 30-minute daily commute each way, our client wanted to be able to travel between Wasilla and Eagle River comfortably. Winter is quickly approaching and temperatures will only continue to drop. Our client decided that the best way to stay warm on his commute was to have a remote start and heated seats installed. He went with the Metra heated seats we offer and the Compustar Drone, which allows him to start his vehicle from anywhere.

Heated Seats Impress on Day One

The first day he drove his car to work with his new upgrades, he couldn’t believe the difference they made. The night he picked his car up from Perfectionist, he turned his heated seats on high and his heat on full blast, then turned off his car. The next morning, he pushed a button on his smartphone 15 minutes before he had to leave for work, and his car started instantly. By the time he walked out to his vehicle, his seats were already toasty-warm and his car felt so cozy – the complete opposite of the freezing car he stepped into just the day before.

Enjoy the Ride

Since he spends over an hour in the car each day, our client likes to enjoy his rides as much as possible. Being able to get in a warm car and stay warm definitely added the extra enjoyment he was looking for. He doesn’t arrive at work with frozen fingers anymore. Even better, he enjoys the same thing on his way home from work! With the temperatures continuing to drop, he is also looking forward to using his remote start to melt the ice and frost off his windshield in the coming weeks. This gives him more time to get ready and enjoy his mornings before leaving for work.

If you live near Wasilla or Eagle River, chances are you could also benefit greatly from heated seats and a remote start. Imagine getting in a cozy, warm vehicle every day on your way to and from work!
