remote starters

Keyless engine activators

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

The main appeal is climate control—warming up or cooling down the car before you get in: I hit the remote starter from the kitchen so the car would be warm by the time I left.

Factory-installed or aftermarket.
