Car remote starters offer convenience and comfort by allowing you to start your vehicle from a distance, often with the push of a button on a key fob or smartphone app. This not only enhances your driving experience but also helps to preserve your vehicle’s engine by allowing it to reach optimal operating temperature before driving. Looking for remote start installers in St. Louis? Then contact us today!
Auto Trim provides you with the total cost of a remote start system upfront, unlike other installers who may offer a base installation price and then add on extra parts, connections, and fees. Our installation technicians possess the highest electronic certifications such as ASE and SEMA, which guarantee that our product will be installed correctly. Additionally, we offer a minimum warranty of 3 years/36k miles on all of our remote start installations, making us a top remote start installer in St. Louis.
During the cold winter months, having a remote starter for your vehicle can be incredibly useful. With the simple press of a button, you can start your engine from a distance and let it warm up, making it ready to travel. In addition to these benefits, many remote starters also come equipped with a GPS, allowing you to locate your vehicle easily if you’ve forgotten where you parked it.
Our most popular remote start system is the 1-way Remote Start to Factory Fob. This system works just like the 1-way system, but the remote is integrated into your factory key fob. As soon as the car starts, your parking lights will turn on, alerting you that the car has started.
Our standard 1-way Remote Start comes with Compustar remotes, one of the most renowned brands in the world. If you prefer a range of 1000′ over your factory fob’s range, this is the perfect system for you. Additionally, if you do not have a keyless entry remote, this system is a great option.
It also comes with the same Compustar brand just like the 1-Way remote start fob. However, this particular 2-way Remote Start has an impressive range of 3000 feet, which is significantly greater than a factory fob or a 1-button remote start. Although it may look similar to the 1-Way remote start fob, it also has an additional confirmation signal that lights up to indicate that the vehicle has started.
CarLink ALCS6 is our most advanced remote start system. We’ll program your factory remotes so they function as a normal 1-way remote start. But that’s not all – we’ll also connect your vehicle to the CarLink Smartphone App. With this app, you’ll have complete control over your car. You can start and stop the engine, lock and unlock doors, track your vehicle, and even check the battery life – from anywhere in the world, as long as you have service on your smartphone.
Car remote starters allow you to pre-condition your vehicle’s interior temperature, ensuring a comfortable ride regardless of the weather outside. Whether it’s sweltering heat or bone-chilling cold, you can warm up or cool down your car before even stepping inside, making for a more pleasant driving experience for you and your passengers.
Starting your car remotely gives the engine time to warm up to its optimal operating temperature before driving, reducing wear and tear on vital components. This can extend the lifespan of your engine and improve overall vehicle longevity, ultimately saving you money on repairs and maintenance down the line.
Remote starters can improve safety by melting snow and ice on your windshield and windows, providing better visibility when you’re ready to hit the road. By eliminating the need to manually scrape off ice or wait for defrosting, remote starters help you get on your way quickly and safely, especially during frosty winter mornings.
With the push of a button on your key fob or smartphone app, you can start your car from a distance, allowing you to multitask and make the most of your time. Whether you’re running late and need to warm up your car while finishing your morning coffee or cooling it down before leaving work on a hot summer day, remote starters offer unparalleled convenience and flexibility.

1 Way and 2 Way Remote Starts are industry terms referring to the direction of the remote start signal. 1-way remote starts send a signal one direction – from the key fob to the car, and tells the car to start. 2-way remote starts send a signal to the car to start, and the car sends a signal back to the key fob and confirms if the car has started. These are also called non-confirming or non-confirming remote starts.
Aftermarket remote starts vary in range by brand, but you will find similarities across them. Entry level 1 way systems generally have a range of 800-1000 feet, and higher end systems having 2500-3000ft range. Range is based on line-of-sight in optimal conditions, and can be impacted by obstructing buildings or electronic waves.
For unlimited remote start range, consider adding a smartphone app module which gives your remote start worldwide coverage anywhere where there is a cell signal.
Aftermarket remote start can be programmed to the OEM key fob of nearly any vehicle. However, it generally doesn’t get programmed to its own unique button on the key fob like a factory remote starter would. Aftermarket remote start is programmed using a sequence of clicks of an existing button, like the 3x lock sequence. 3x lock sequence means clicking the lock button 3 times in a row, and the car will recognize the sequence and start.
Remote start can be added to luxury imports, but normally at an increased cost. The installation process of adding remote start to a luxury vehicle requires additional parts and labor, and sometimes an off-site programming company to get the remote start to work with the brain of the vehicle.
Remote start can be added to most vehicles in 1-2 hours. Japanese cars are the quickest, with American vehicles shortly behind. Luxury and European vehicles can take as long as full day for installation.
Adding an aftermarket remote car starter can range from $300 for common everyday vehicles to over $1000 for high end luxury vehicles.
Prices vary based on year, make, and model of the vehicle.
Your vehicle is safe and secure while running with an aftermarket auto starter. The firmware that is programmed during the installation process makes sure the doors remain locked while the car is running, and can’t drive away unless your key fob is inside the car.
No, adding an aftermarket remote engine starter will not automatically void your warranty. Manufacturers can’t void a warranty because an aftermarket part or accessory has been added to a vehicle, per the 1975 Magnuson-Moss act.
However, the manufacturer can deny a warranty claim if the aftermarket remote start directly caused an issue with the vehicle.
