To absolutely nobody’s surprise, the Farmer’s Almanac predicts yet another cold and snowy Winter for Maryland. In December alone, the predicted El Nino – the periodic warming of the Pacific Ocean that foretells more snow than we’d like to think about – is supposed to bring a minimum of six inches of snow. And that’s just the beginning. You’ve already doubtless been annoyed by our cold mornings and probably wished you could get into an already warm car.

Well, of course, you can! Installing a remote starter in your truck alleviates the need for you to go from your toasty warm home into a freezing truck that takes half of your commute (if you’re lucky) to warm up.

Benefits of Remote Start Installation

A remote starter allows you to start your car or truck using a key-fob remote control without going outside. Simply click the button and start your vehicle from the comfort of your own home, giving your car or truck ample time to warm up before you even step foot outside.

Not only will you have exponentially improved comfort, but your windshield won’t be covered in a sheet of ice. The choice is yours: Spend 15-20 minutes hacking at the ice with a scraper and risking frostbite, or brush it aside with ease after a thorough defrosting. Is this really a choice? Of course not.

Additional benefits include:

• Increased vehicle value.A remote start system will add to the overall value of your vehicle.
• Year-round comfort.Sure, it’s winter now, but a remote starter is great all year round. Just imagine how nice it will be to let your vehicle cool down on a hot and humid summer day in Maryland. No more scorching steering wheels!

The post Remote Starting in Another Maryland Winter appeared first on Trick Trucks.

The weather in Maryland can be harsh no matter what season it is. When you think you are finished fighting through the snow to get to your car, you suddenly realize that now you will have to fight off the heat waves coming off of your leather seats. Car owners just can’t win when it comes to the temperatures of their cars; unless they have a remote starter installed in their cars. But are they really worth having installed after-market in your car?

How They Work

In order to get an accurate picture of these modifications, you first must realize what they are. During installation, a module is installed that can easily access the connection to the ignition, power, starter, brake, and tachometer wires. When you press the button on the remote, it will send a signal to the module and turn on the car. It is relatively simple to install but must be done by a professional.

Pros of Remote Car Starters

The biggest pro of a remote car starter is being able to start your car from a distance. This can help your car heat up or cool down depending on what temperature you remember to set the thermostat. If your car is locked when you start the car, it will remain locked. This is so no one milling around the car will be able to steal it as it is heating up. The two-way communicator will confirm the car is still running or if it has stalled.

Cons of Remote Starters

One of the biggest cons of remote starters is the extras. Because it doesn’t come standard, car companies do not include this button on the existing car fob so your starter will come with an extra remote. There is also an added cost for the parts and installation that must be done at a profession like the technicians at Trick Trucks.

If you are looking for a modern convenience, this might be perfect gadget to have installed in your car. Remote starters are perfect for those east coast weather patterns that can change in the blink of an eye. For more information, call the technicians at Trick Trucks about an after-market remote car starter.

Temperature

Now that the weather is starting to get cold, getting in the car and waiting for the heat to turn on can be an inconvenience. With a remote starter, you can start your truck a minute or two before you walk outside, and it will be warm by the time you put it in drive. The same goes for the summer. Vehicles trap heat in the summer and are often hotter than the air outside. Turn on your truck with a remote starter and let the a/c do its job for a few minutes so you can open the door to a nice, cool truck.

Gas Mileage

You might think that a remote starter wastes gas, because your truck is just sitting there idling. However, a remote starter can actually improve your truck’s mileage, especially in the winter. It’s a good idea to let the engine run for a minute before putting it in drive to get everything lubricated. This is doubly important in the winter, when cold oil becomes thick. A cold start and immediate shift into drive causes the engine to have to work harder and use more gas. A remote starter lets you warm up and thin the oil so that when you put it in gear, the engine doesn’t have to work harder than it’s used to.

Now is the Perfect Time to install a Remote Starter

A remote starter allows a driver to start his/her engine from the comfort of their own home. Now that’s convenience. Besides the obvious advantage of stepping into a warm (or cool) car, there are several benefits of having a remote starter, including:

1. Safety: We have all done it before. We get in our car or truck and the windows are frosted over. We could easily sit there and wait for the defrost to warm up and do its job, but we have places to be, so we start driving with the little visibility we have. Not exactly the safest thing in the world. Using a remote starter and allowing your car to warm up before driving, makes ice and snow cleanup much easier. Warming the car also melts snow and ice that can obstruct the headlights or brake lights, making your car more visible to other drivers, especially in snowy conditions.
2. Engine Care: When you allow your car to heat up before driving, the engine oil becomes more viscous and provides better lubrication. This helps protect your engine from unnecessary wear and tear.
3. Resale Value: Remote starters also add to the resale value of your vehicle, especially if you live in areas with extreme weather conditions.

This article from eHow.com explains several benefits to having a remote starter installed in your car, truck, or SUV.

A remote starter allows a driver to start a car’s engine with a remote control, usually in the form of an electronic key fob. Besides the obvious advantage of stepping into a warm (or cool) car, there are several benefits of having a remote starter. These benefits include:

Comfort

Comfort is the key. As we mentioned above, remote starters allow you to start your car from inside your home, meaning you can let your vehicle warm up in the winter or cool down in the summer. By leaving the heater or air conditioning in the “On” position, a driver can activate the remote starter then wait several minutes, during which time the climate control runs.

Safety

By allowing your car to warm up before driving, it makes ice and snow cleanup and defrosting much easier. All of this means greater visibility for you, the driver. Warming the car also melts snow and ice that can obstruct the headlights or brake lights, making your car more visible to other drivers, especially in snowy conditions.

Engine Care

Warming the car, before driving, is also beneficial for the engine. Because the car idles for several minutes before being driven, the engine oil becomes more viscous and provides better lubrication once the driver is ready to go.

Resale Value

Remote starters also add to the resale value of your vehicle, especially if you live in areas with extreme weather conditions.
