remote starter

Keychain engine activator

A remote starter is a device that allows you to start your vehicle's engine from a distance, typically using a key fob or smartphone app.

The main appeal is warming up or cooling down the car before you get in, making it popular in regions with extreme temperatures.

Most remote starters have a range of several hundred feet, though smartphone-enabled versions can work from anywhere with a signal.

I hit the remote starter from the kitchen so the car would be warm by the time I left.
