The most important part of any remote start system is the installation. You can purchase the most advanced kit on the market and if it isn't installed properly it can cause all kinds of headaches for you. Today's vehicles are complicated thanks to transponder keys, factory anti-theft systems, and multiplexed door lock systems. If somebody isn't familiar with working with these systems then the installation should be left to somebody who is trained to work on these vehicles.

To help reduce vehicle theft, car manufactures are equipping the vehicle's key with a transponder chip. These chips keep the vehicle from starting unless the vehicle "sees" the key in the ignition. If your vehicle is equipped with a transponder key, an interface module will be needed (at an extra cost) at the time of installation. A majority of these modules are vehicle specific. In the rare occurrence a module is not made for your vehicle we will then use a universal module. Please stop by today and we will be able to tell you which module your vehicle needs.

Vehicle manufactures are trying to reduce the amount of wiring that is ran through a vehicle by using multiplexed systems. Most of today's vehicles modern door lock systems are perfect examples of a multiplex system. Instead of sending conventional electrical signals when pushing your door lock button to lock the other doors, a multiplex system will convert your action to a digital signal. Basically instead of having one wire for each action of your door lock switch, one wire can do everything. Unfortunately conventional ways of integrating your door lock system into a remote start won't work on a multiplex system. Thankfully our remote start manufactures are always ahead of the game and we have door lock modules (at an extra cost) that allow us to integrate your door lock system into your new remote start system. Integrating your door locks into the remote start allow you to have both your remote start and keyless entry on one remote. There is no need to carry two remotes.

Certain connections on a remote start system have to be soldered for the remote start to function properly. If these connections are not soldered not only will it cause problems with the functions of the remote start, it can keep you from starting the vehicle with the key as well. We assure you at SOUNDS FAST we solder these connections.

Your safety and the safety of anybody working on your vehicle is our top priority. This is why we install a hood pin on every remote start system at SOUNDS FAST. A hood pin will keep the vehicle from remote starting while the hood is open. We are surprised when when we get a vehicle in that another shop has installed a remote start and there is no hood pin. In our opinion this should be a standard on ANY remote start system!
