Is it one of these or something I have not considered?
Usually an app on the phone, talks to satellite/cell tower and sends signal out to the remote starter. I have one in my GMC, i can start/shut off, lock/open, and sound/shut off alarm from anywhere in the world. Also it monitors the vehicle for maintenance and issues - free, if i want I can pay monthly for onstar - no thank you
