Hello:
As I wrote in a Post a while back, am thinking of getting a remote car starter as a gift for a family member. Been thinking about this a bit.
Had an experience with a remote a few years back, where I had my car remote on my keychain, and while watching TV in bed, apparently rolled over on it, and it automatically opened the trunk. As I was in a motel, with lots of good stuff in my trunk, was lucky that I went out for dinner and noticed it.
Real bad system. They should have made it, perhaps, such that it would take 2 clicks of the remote within a second or two to activate anything. This would eliminate just about all of the accidental activations, probably. But they didn't.
So, with these remote car starters, is there the same type of problem ?
Really scarry if the car is in your garage under the house, and it gets turned on accidentally, for whatever reason, and is not noticed. Real Carbon Monoxide problem if it happens.
Have they done anything with these devices to eliminate this potential problem ? (e.g., once started, the car shuts off within five to ten minutes if not moved, my 2-click idea, or...?)
Any thoughts on ?
Thanks, Bob
