DesignTech International is a company that specializes in the production of remote car starters. The company’s AutoCommand Remote Car Starter is a sophisticated system that allows you to start your car by remote control from the comfort of your home or office in order to cool it down in the summer or heat it up in the winter. The AutoCommand Remote Car Starter system is designed for automatic transmission cars only and comes with multiple built-in safety and security features.
The AutoCommand Remote Car Starter system is quality engineered, microprocessor controlled, and made in the USA to provide many years of reliable use. It comes with a 2-year warranty. The system is extremely sophisticated and has multiple built-in safety and security features. For instance, the system will start your car by remote control and run the heater, defroster, or air conditioner to warm up or cool down the car. It is designed to start the car if it is in park, and only if the hood is closed. The system can monitor the engines speed using a special tachometer monitoring circuit, and will cut off the ignition if the car stalls. The system will attempt to start the car for up to six seconds, but no longer (to avoid damage to the starter motor). Should the car not start, or if it stalls after starting, the AutoCommand will make two further attempts to start it. The system will not let the car be driven without the key in the ignition. It shuts itself off automatically after 10 or 15 minutes (user option) if you forget to come out to your car. The system will shut off if the brake pedal is pushed, the hood is opened, or the transmission is shifted out of park – unless the key is in the ignition and in the run position. The system allows you to remove the key while leaving the car running with the doors locked for up to 10 or 15 minutes utilizing the QUICK STOP option. The system starts the car automatically whenever the temperature drops below 0oF (-18oC), or if the battery voltage drops below 11 volts with the Cold Start option activated.
The AutoCommand Remote Car Starter system requires a few tools to install, including wire cutters/strippers, a soldering iron, pliers, a test meter, electrical tape, screwdrivers, and a drill. The system comes with a wiring diagram, a power harness, a control harness, and a transmitter antenna. The installation process requires connecting the BLUE wire to the ignition 1 wire of your vehicle, which will measure +12V on the test meter in the run and start position, and is off (ground) in the lock/off and accessory position. The GREEN wire is connected to the second IGN2 wire (if applicable) of your vehicle.
