remote starter installation

Here we are going to show you just how complex installing a remote starter can be.
Todays vehicles are filled with computers, data lines, software, firmware and miles of wires. Integrating new components with your vehicle takes skill, experience, proper tools, computers and patience!
Here we have a remote starter that we prewired with all the wires loomed nice and neat to their approiate locations. There are dozens of wires and harnesses just on the remote starter itself, interfacing them properly with your vehicle should only be left to the experienced professional

 We use Flashlogic Data Modules for all of our remote starter integration.
These modules will learn the factory key code so you don’t have to sacrifice an ignition key during the remote starter installation! Almost every new car has a Transponder chipped key, which means the vehicles computer must read that unique key code in order for the vehicle to start. Some shops ask the customer to give up one of their keys so they can permanently mount the key up under the dashboard in a “keybox module”. Cheaper parts for them = more profit at your expense! factory keys are often $150+ from the dealer if you want to replace it.
 There is hardly every a need to do it this way anymore! Our data modules are compatible with almost all of the vehicles and will learn your keycode so you don’t lose a key! These modules also allow the remote starter to “talk” to your vehicles electrical system, allowing integration into the complex computer controlled systems like door locks, and factory security integration.

Does adding aftermarket equipment void my new car warranty?

The simple answer to this is NO!

The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act was signed into law On January 4, 1975, Protecting consumers.

 You want to upgrade your vehicle with aftermarket equipment, but you’re worried about putting the vehicle’s warranty at risk. It’s no wonder, how many times have you heard some one at a dealership say that installing aftermarket equipment automatically voids the warranty? This common misconception has been repeated often enough to be widely believed –though it is completely false.

 Fact: Dealers don’t like warranty work, because it pays less than normal repair work. By promoting the myth that aftermarket equipment automatically voids warranties, some dealers avoid such low-paying work. Instead, they attempt to charge customers the prime service rate for work which is rightfully done under warranty.

 Most vehicle owners are not aware they are protected by federal law: the Magnuson-Moss Warranty – Federal Trade Commission Improvement Act of 1975. Under the MMW Act, aftermarket equipment which improves performance does not void a vehicle manufacturer’s original warranty, unless the warranty clearly and conspicuously states that aftermarket equipment voids the warranty (ours does not). Most states have warranty statutes, as well. Which provide further protections for vehicle owners.

 In other words, that means a dealer can’t wiggle out of his legal warranty obligation merely because you install aftermarket equipment. To find out if any aftermarket equipment automatically voids your vehicle’s warranty, check the owner’s manual. It will be under the sections titled “What is not covered”. Your vehicle manufacturer is simply saying he does not cover the aftermarket products themselves. He is not saying that the products would void the vehicle warranty.

 Suppose your modified vehicle needs repairs while still under warranty. Without analyzing the true cause of the problem, the dealer attempts to deny warranty coverage. He made his decision simply based on the fact that you’ve installed aftermarket equipment – a convenient way to dodge low-paying warranty work.

 Fact: A dealer must prove – not just say – that aftermarket equipment caused the need for repairs before he can deny warranty coverage on that basis.

Point out to the dealer the provision of the MMW Act. Require that he explain to you how the aftermarket equipment caused the problem. If he can’t – or his explanation sounds questionable – it is your legal right to demand he comply with the warranty.

If you are being unfairly denied warranty coverage, there is recourse. The Federal Trade Commission, which administers the MMWAct, monitors compliance with warranty issues. Direct complaints to the FCT at (202) 326-3128.
