Which Cars Are Made With a Remote Start System?
by Clayton Browne
Many new automobiles today are produced with remote keyless start systems. Such systems not only allow drivers the convenience of being able to lock and unlock their car remotely but also the ability to start their car remotely. This new keyless start system makes it possible to start your car while you are sitting at the kitchen table finishing up breakfast on a cold morning, with the car warmed up and ready to go when you are.
General Motors Vehicles 2003 and Later
General Motors offered the first fully integrated, factory-installed and guaranteed remote control starter on vehicles in 2003. GM took the initiative in remote control starter systems, and the company was installing them in numerous high-end and midrange models by 2008. The new 2011 Chevrolet Volt comes equipped with a remote start system. The Volt is Chevy's new all-electric vehicle, and it comes loaded with numerous cutting-edge features, including voice commands, GPS-based traffic and navigation systems and high-end audio along with the remote keyless starter.
