Both children and adults don’t want to wear half-molten safety belts, or to sit in a seat that can cause sunburns. Smart devices can cool down cars before they get behind the wheel.
Nearly two decades have passed since remote-start technology was invented. This allows drivers to remotely start their car’s heating and cooling systems. Pushing a button on the key fobs turns on their vehicle’s climate control and engines. A remote-start device ensures that drivers don’t touch sunbaked steering wheels even in high temperatures.

Remote-start has some unique features. You can, for example, “TempCheck”Allows users to monitor their vehicle’s interior temperatures with LEDs on their remotes. A stack of five LEDs lights up to alert drivers when their cars become too hot. With their remote control, they can turn on the air conditioning.
Another feature that is useful? “Remote Start Reset,”Notifies the driver when the remote cycle expires, and turns off the air conditioner. Drivers can check their car’s temperature by getting an alert on the key fob. If the temperature is too high, drivers can reset the remote’s start to the beginning.
The Responder LE 2-Way security system and remote start system are available under the Viper, Python, and Clifford brands.
