To those of us who already own one, remote car starters need no explanation. We already know that every car or truck we will ever own in the future MUST be equipped with one of these life simplifying, impossible to live without devices.
For those who are unsure, imagine this if you will. You wake in the morning to find that overnight, mother nature has dropped 7 inches of the powdery cold stuff that we are all much to familiar with here in the Pocono's. Underneath that 7 inches of snow is a 1/2 inch layer of solid ice. And somewhere under that layer of ice is your car. Whoops! You just remembered your ice scraper is IN your car and the doors are frozen shut. You can forget about getting that key in the door through that ice. Oh, did I mention that the outside temperature is hovering around 16?
Now what are you going to do? Just relax. Go pour yourself a cup of coffee, turn on the morning news and press the button on the little transmitter attached to your keychain. Outside you car is now running buy remote start. Your car's heat and windshield defroster is working overtime to melt that icy windshield and warm up that chilly interior. Depending on how your car is equipped, your rear window defroster and even your heated seats are functioning beautifully, anticipating the drivers arrival.
Now that you finished breakfast, put on your boots, grab your briefcase, and go directly from your nice warm home into your nice warm car. Don't worry about the key getting through the ice. You just push the button on that little transmitter and your doors unlock. Don't fuss with that ice scraper either. Just turn on your wipers and in a few strokes the windshield is clear. Now just drive off to work knowing you will be there promptly because you didn't waste any time sweeping and scraping.
Now, the above is a worse case scenario, but far from exaggerated. We have all been there. It is silly to put up with this inconvenience. Even without all the snow and ice, It is simply no fun sitting in a car in the dead of winter vigorously rubbing your hands together, shaking uncontrollably as your breath freezes on the inside glass, until the car warms up enough to drive. Not to mention doing this routine twice a day every day for 5 straight months!
How about another quick scenario?It is the middle of July and 97 degrees in the shade. Your car has been baking in the driveway with the windows up all day. You don't dare enter knowing the seats are as hot as lava and the steering wheel may as well be a branding iron. I won't even mention the stifling, shot of jet exhaust that slams into you when first enter your car.
Now what? That's right...relax. Pour yourself some lemon aid, turn on the food channel and press that magic little button. Your car starts up and the air conditioning begins the chill. Oh, your car was parked with the windows down? Well when you pressed that little button all your windows rolled themselves up tight! This is not science fiction, this is POSSIBLE!
