Your friends have one. Your family members have one. You see them everywhere, and you constantly think, "I should get a remote starter for my car," but you've never quite gotten there.

It's time: We're here to give you the push you need to finally have a remote start installed in your car, and it comes in a list of three short items. By the time you finish reading, you'll be ready to get started and we'll tell you exactly how. But first, here are three big advantages of installing a remote start into your car.

Climate Control

No doubt about it, the most popular reason for installing a remote starter is that it allows your car's interior to reach a comfortable temperature before you hop in. Whether it's heat in the winter or air conditioning in the summer, having your car at the right temperature the moment you step into it will make any morning commute a little easier. What's more, preheating your car during the winter can help melt away snow and ice, making it that much simpler to clear off your car after a snowstorm. The technology exists to give you an easier time with one of the most irritating parts of winter - why not take advantage of it?

Engine Care

Everyone's familiar with the idea of letting an engine "warm up" before driving, but what does that actually mean? When an engine sits idle for a long period of time, the oil that keeps it lubricated settles to the bottom. When the car is started again, the oil needs a little bit of time to flow over all the engine surfaces to properly lubricate it as it begins working again. Driving a car too soon after turning it on can end up causing unnecessary wear and tear to the engine if the working parts haven't gotten slick enough. A remote car starter will ensure you're starting up your car far enough in advance for the oil to flow, keeping your engine in better working order without much extra effort.

Wide-Ranging Functionality

Installing a new convenience feature like this on your car doesn't happen every day, so why not get the most out of it? The remote starter brand Viper has models that allow you to start your car from up to a mile away. This is a nice plus for places with large parking lots like sports stadiums, malls, or airports. Even though it's a long walk to the car, you'll be able to start it up and have it ready to go by the time you arrive carside.
