Many Volkswagen vehicles come with innovative Remote Start technology, including the ones we sell here at Thelen VW. Remote Start lets you start your vehicle from outside with just your key fob! There is a whole list of advantages to having Remote Start technology, from convenience to being better on your engine. The best thing about Remote Start is that we can install into many existing VW vehicles as well! See for yourself some of the key benefits to having remote start on your side.
VW Remote Start technology is incredibly helpful during the winter, when the cold can be harsh on a car’s engine. With a couple presses of your car remote, you can get the engine running without having to leave the warmth of the inside. The interior will also begin to warm up so that you can hop into a pleasantly comfortable cabin. Just remember during cold weather to have the car’s defrost system on, so that you can drive without losing visibility. Remote Start is also fantastic for safety reasons, as you will never have to worry about locking your keys in the vehicle. Drivers can also be assured that no one can attempt to steal their vehicle, as the remote is the only way to start the car. The technology is not only beneficial in terms of convenience, but also adds value when it comes time for you to sell your vehicle.
Do you have a Volkswagen currently without Remote Start and want to change that for convenience and safety? Stop into the Thelen Auto Group today and ask our service staff about installing the technology into your vehicle. If you already have Remote Start installed, we can test your system and even service it if needed. Remote Start revolutionizes comfort and convenience, so come see our selection of new VW vehicles with the technology installed. Especially with the cold that harsh winters in Michigan can sometimes bring, you will adore having this technology at your disposal!
