Remote Car Starters

Would you like to get into a heated vehicle in the Winter or a cooled vehicle in the Summer? Try a Compustar Remote Start from Tophat Tinting.

A remote starter, otherwise known as an “auto starter”, “car starter”, or simply “remote start”, is an electronic device that allows you to start your vehicle’s engine from outside of your vehicle. There are two primary components to a remote start: a control module or ‘brain’ that is installed inside the vehicle and a remote to operate the unit. Compustar remote starters are compatible with approximately 95% of vehicles on the road today, including manual-transmissions, diesels, select hybrids and luxury makes. For each of those compatible vehicles, installing a Compustar remote starter is completely safe and will not void or affect your factory warranty!

The remotes have at least a one year warranty against defects. The control unit under the dash has a lifetime warranty and can be transferred between vehicles.


One Way Remote Starts: The remote will communicate to the vehicle. The only way you know the vehicle is running is if you can see or hear the vehicle. These come with 2 remotes.

Two Way Remote Starts: The remote will receive confirmation from the vehicle for any commands. These come with 1 remote and Dronemobile

DroneMobile: Control your vehicle with your smartphone. This is included with all 2 Way Remote Starts or can be installed as a standalone system. It comes with a 30 day free trial then requires a subscription to use.
