Autostart

Another fantastic device by Author Alarm in the comfort module "AUTOSTART". A unique aftermarket solution for remote start comfort. It is the perfect solution for pre-warming or cooling the interior of your vehicle before driving by controlling the A/C controls. By simply pressing the Lock button of your standard key fob, Autostart will disable the factory immobiliser (to allow engine start), and enable its own in-built immobiliser before starting your car. This means your vehicle is still protected even with the vehicle running.

Utilising the vehicle CAN system, Autostart requires minimal wire connections to function. Thanks to its digital design, Autostart receives messages from the vehicle and can send outputs to required modules in the vehicle to ensure the safety of your vehicle during engine running.

After remote starting the vehicle, the AUTOSTART module uses perimeter safety guidance to monitor any attempt of theft. Doors and Steering remain locked during engine running but in the event of possible forced entry, Autostart will turn the engine off and keep the vehicle immobilised, if any doors, bonnet or boot lid are opened, if the brake pedal is depressed, or if the auto transmission is shifted from Park.

Remote engine start will keep the engine running for a preset time (adjustable through a smart phone app) and turn the engine off at the end of the predetermined period or earlier if needed by pressing standard key fob buttons.

*Please note that the Autostart Device is not available on all car brands. Please call us to find out if Autostart is compatible with your vehicle.
