(Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20081117/LAM006) Remote Start lets users start their vehicle by remote control. They simply push the button on the Responder® One remote to pre-warm their vehicle in the winter, or pre-cool it in the summer. And because Responder® One is a 2-Way remote, it confirms the car has started with a flashing LED and audible tone. Even though Responder® One is Directed's smallest 2-Way remote ever, it can start the user's vehicle from up to 2,000 feet away. Because the Responder® One remote is so small and slim, it is ideal for adding the convenience of remote start to virtually any vehicle, including new vehicles featuring a combined key-in-the-remote. Responder® One systems each come with dual Responder® One remotes. With an MSRP of just $299, Responder® One systems make 2-Way remote start affordable – just in time for winter.
