Remote Start and Security

Now That’s Convenience!

Remote starter and keyless entry systems have become extremely popular because of their added convenience and easy of use. Remote car starters allow you to start your vehicle’s engine by touching a button on your key chain remote.

If you have the heater or air conditioning running before you turn off the car, the next time you use the remote start, it will automatically heat or cool your vehicle based on your previous climate settings. If your vehicle has a power trunk motor, we can configure your remote to open your trunk with the press of a button.

We also have remote car starters that feature car alarms to guard against theft. This remote access allows you to quickly lock your doors and arm your vehicle with the press of a button. Besides being a safety feature, these remote engine starters are helpful for those who are on-the-go.

Most new vehicle include this as a standard feature. However, if you want to add a remote starter and keyless entry to your older vehicle them we offer a variety of quality systems and manufacturers to choose from.

Nothing's better for Winter than having your car warmed up before you step in. You’ll love the convenience of having a remote start for your car or truck. You will wonder how you lived without it!


Car Alarm Installation

Protect your car and valuable belongings from theft with an installed car alarm and security system. Whether you want to guard against car theft or if you’ve loaded your car with the best equipment Audio916 has to offer, you need to protect your investment by getting a car alarm. Not only will you have the peace of mind knowing that your vehicle and its contents are protected, a car alarm can even low your insurance rates.

Our car alarm installation with keyless entry includes at least one key chain remote. This gives you the ability to turn your alarm on/off, and if your vehicle is equipped with power door lock motors so you can lock and unlock your doors by pressing a button.

If your vehicle has a power trunk motor, you can also open your trunk with the press of a button. This remote access allows you to quickly lock your doors and arm your vehicle with the press of a button. Upon activating your car alarm your vehicle’s lights will flash, signaling to would-be burglars that your vehicle is secure.

A great new technological feature is the GPS tracking system for car alarms. These security systems offer 24 hour monitoring. Some security systems require you to call in if your vehicle is stolen, while others provide information regarding the vehicle’s location over the internet. We also do custom installation of integrated GPS systems.

Q: My car came with an anti-theft system, why should I get an aftermarket security system?

A: Most factory security systems essentially just disable the starter when no key chip is detected by the ignition system. A professional car thief will know how to get around that. And when was the last time you heard a car's beeping horn and tried to pay it no mind? An aftermarket siren's loud wailing is much harder to ignore, and will usually chase a would-be thief away. Also, most factory security systems don't have shock or sound sensors, and rely on door switches only, so someone could get into your car by breaking a window without any alarm going off.


Q: Will adding a security system void my vehicle's warranty?

A: No. By law, any appropriate and properly installed and functioning aftermarket system, including a security or remote start system, will not void a vehicle's warranty. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Improvement Act, enacted in 1975, protects consumers from the car dealerships that had been demanding that only their authorized parts and labor would get covered under warranty, and anything else would void the warranty. (For example, if you replaced the wiper blades with non-authorized blades, they would void the warranty on the engine and exhaust.) Of course, if you tear up your vehicle's wiring or drilled holes where you shouldn't, you will have plenty of warranty issues with your dealership. This is another reason to purchase professional installation when you want to put in a security system.


Q: Which system is best for me?

A: That really depends on your own specific needs. For example, if you have a deluxe sedan, you might want to add an alarm with automatic door lock activation for security reasons, and a remote trunk release for convenience. If you have a large van, you may want to consider adding an alarm with a glass-break or motion sensor to protect the entire van interior. You may want to only add a security system to your vehicle, but you might consider getting one that includes a remote start function as well.
