Why Remote Car Starter Range Is Important

October 26, 2015 By Driven

Remote Car Starter Range

If you are interested in getting a remote starter for your vehicle, the place to go is Driven Audio. We are specialists in this category; it is not a sideline business for us.

One of the most common topics that comes up is remote car starter range and why you need it. Let’s dig deeper into this topic and shed some light on why remote car starter range is important for anyone buying a remote starter.

Remote Starter Use Becomes A Habit

Remote Car Starter RangeIf you have never owned a remote starter, you may be thinking that you only need a small amount of range as you are only going to use it at home. While we agree that you will definitely use it from your home, our experience tells us that once you go out to a warm vehicle one time, you will be hooked. The first time you experience not having to scrape ice off your windows, you will want to make doing that a distant memory. Imagine this scenario: You warm up your vehicle up before leaving home and you go off to work. Your vehicle sits there for several hours. You come out to go to lunch, and it is cold and iced up. You come out at the end of the day, and it is cold and iced-up. You are now unhappy. You think to yourself, “I own a remote starter, why didn’t I warm up the vehicle?” We hear this all the time from our clients.

How Much Remote Car Starter Range Is Enough?

If you need more range than a simple system that starts the vehicle from your house, how much do you need? Great question. We suggest thinking of all the places you will park your vehicle over the course of an average week: work, school, church, the mall, out to dinner, etc. Then buy enough range to start it from any of those places.

Our Systems Are The Most Technologically Advanced

Now, you may be thinking to yourself, “I have seen inexpensive systems that offer a range of a quarter of a mile. I am never that far from my vehicle.” Another great question. The reality is that most of those inexpensive systems only have 40–80 feet of actual range when in use. As there is no standard for stating range, let’s just say many vendors are incredibly optimistic. Our systems come in several different models with different technologies to offer increased range. As you move into better systems, the operating frequency and channels will change, giving them the power needed to penetrate commercial buildings and fight through electrical interference.

Unlimited Range Is Even An Option!

Remote Car Starter RangeOur flagship system, the Compustar T11, offers three times more range than anything else on the market – up to three miles away. We also offer Drone smartphone-based systems that can operate anywhere, as long as your phone and the vehicle have Internet coverage.

We invite you to stop by Driven Audio with your vehicle and get to know us better. One of our team members will work with you to understand your needs. At that point, we will offer you the solution that we think will work best for you, and we will back it up with a quality installation that will give you years of reliable service. Feel free to contact us here for more information about any of our products and services.

Driven Audio would also like to invite you to check out The Ultimate Remote Car Starter Buying Guide.  This E-book will teach you everything you need to know to choose the right facility for your remote starter installation.  If you end up choosing us, and we think you will, we will happily credit the amount paid for the book towards your purchase at our facility.

    I agree 100% that range is important.
    With today’s vehicles, even a cheap remote starter is a large investment by the time it is installed and taxed.
    The first time your starter fails to provide you with a warm car, you will be unhappy with your investment.
    The difference between a poor starter and one that works without fail is a rather small amount, relative to the total invested.
    My starter works wherever and whenever I need it, and that is priceless.

      Hi William,

      Your best bet is to have a new remote start system with a telematics system integrated with it. We suggest using a Compustar DC3 and Drone mobile device.

      Take care,
