Remote Starter Installation
in Hicksville, NY

In most cases, yes. We install remote starters on a wide range of vehicles, including push-to-start models. The right system and any extra modules depend on your specific year, make, and model, so call or stop in with those three things and we'll confirm exactly what works on your car before you commit to anything.

It depends on your vehicle and whether you want a keychain remote, the phone app, or both. Some vehicles need additional modules to work with a remote start system and some don't, which changes the price. Call or stop by and we'll give you a straight quote on the spot.

Most installs are done the same day. A remote starter is a more involved job than something like a stereo swap because it wires into your vehicle's ignition and security systems, so call ahead and we'll give you an accurate time estimate for your specific car.

Yes. Push-to-start vehicles are very common now and we install remote start systems on them regularly. They typically need a bypass module so the system works correctly with your vehicle's factory immobilizer, which we handle as part of the install.

In many cases yes, but it depends on the vehicle and it has to be set up carefully with the correct safety procedure so the car can never start in gear. Call us and we'll tell you honestly whether we recommend it for your car.

Your system and the installation are both covered for one year. If something starts acting up in that time, call us and we'll get you back in and take a look at it.

No. A properly installed remote starter doesn't void your manufacturer warranty. The key word is properly. Bad installs that cut into the wrong circuits are where people run into trouble, which is exactly why we do every install in our own shop with our own techs.

That depends on which remote you choose, and it's the single biggest difference between the options. A keychain remote covers your driveway, your parking lot, or across the street. The DroneMobile app has no real distance limit at all, since it works anywhere you have cell service. Tell us where you'll usually be standing when you press the button and we'll match you to the right one.

A one-way remote sends the command and that's it. It works fine when you can see your car, but it can't tell you whether the engine actually turned over. A two-way remote gets a signal back, so it beeps and shows you the car is running. The moment that matters is when you're somewhere you can't see it, like inside a store or up in an office. That's the difference people notice, not the range number on the box.

On a lot of vehicles, yes. Some systems let you press the lock button on your factory remote three times to start the car, so nothing new goes on your keychain. Whether it works depends on your specific vehicle, so call and we'll tell you if yours is one of them.

The DroneMobile app uses an LTE connection to reach your vehicle from anywhere, which does carry an ongoing service plan. A standard keychain remote has no app and no subscription, ever. We'll explain both clearly before you choose so there are no surprises later.

Yes, and on most vehicles that's the better way to do it. Compustar and Viper both make systems that handle remote start and full alarm security on one unit, so it's a single install and a single remote instead of two separate systems competing on your keychain.

Come in and let us take a look. We can often diagnose and repair an existing system, and if a previous install was done badly we'll tell you what it would take to put it right rather than just selling you a new one.

We're located at 151 W Old Country Rd in Hicksville and we install for drivers across Long Island, including Bethpage, Plainview, Levittown, and the surrounding Nassau and Suffolk County towns.
