Remote Starter FAQ

What’s the difference between 1-way and 2-way remote starters?

A 1-way remote starter sends a signal to start your vehicle, while a 2-way remote starter confirms your vehicle has started, even when you’re not nearby.

Is my vehicle compatible with a remote starter?

Most vehicles are compatible, but some may require additional parts like a bypass module. Contact us for a free consultation!

Does installing a remote starter void my warranty?

No, we use certified technicians and vehicle-specific parts to ensure your warranty remains intact.

What kind of warranty do I get with my install?

For over 22 years we have always guaranteed our work for you. We offer a full manufacturer warranty on all parts used for your install and a no-hassle lifetime warranty on our labour. We’re always here to help if you need us.

Does a remote starter void my manufacturer warranty on my vehicle?

NO! This is a very common misconception that we would love to clear up. As ministry-certified 310K installers, our work does not void any warranty and you are protected by the Canada Consumer Protection Act (similar to the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act in the USA). In fact, we install our systems into brand new vehicles on behalf of local dealerships daily. Our work is trusted and we always stand behind it for you.

What brands do you install?

Our favourite systems to install are iDataStart and Fortin. We love and trust these brands and have been working with them for many years. The exact one we use sometimes varies by vehicle, but we explore all options for you to get you the best features available and the best pricing possible.
