What Is A Remote Starter System: Ford Parts BC

It is no secret that BC experiences cold winters. No one likes sliding into a freezing vehicle and shivering for 10 minutes while waiting for the cabin to heat up. That’s why the remote start system was invented.

Allowing you to get the car going without stepping foot outside, you never have to be greeted by icy seats again. There is now a wide range of options that enable you to start the ignition from a key fob or even a smartphone app. Some may also permit you to turn the vehicle off or even trigger security elements such as an alarm system.

There are two main components to every remote starter mechanism: the control module (also sometimes called the radio receiver) and the remote transmitter. The first element is installed inside the automobile and controls the operations.

With Ford, you have the option to get a long-range key fob for your remote start system. Working up to 1,000 feet away, you can activate the All Perimeter Plus Vehicle Security and Basic Remote Start System with the simple double-push of the circular arrow button.
