When shopping for a remote starter, many customers ask about the warranty. It’s smart to seek protection for your investment. Typically, the best remote starter brands offer a lifetime warranty on the core system module and wiring harness. This coverage usually applies for the lifetime of the original purchaser’s ownership. However, this warranty rarely covers the remote controls or apps. However, a lifetime warranty on hardware does little to stop a determined thief. Thieves are now exploiting keyless security vulnerabilities to steal newer, pricier vehicles. In fact, auto theft continues to cost Canadians over $1 billion in insurance claims annually. Therefore, the focus must shift from a hardware warranty to proactive digital car security.
The Flaw in Traditional Security
Traditional car security—the kind that a warranty covers—is struggling against modern theft techniques:
-
Key Fobs are Vulnerable: They are often susceptible to relay attacks. Thieves amplify the fob’s signal to unlock and start the car.
-
Physical Keys can be Copied: Thieves can copy physical keys or steal them outright.
-
Alarms Only Notify: Traditional alarms and key fobs mainly alert you to a problem. They rarely prevent the theft from being completed.
Consequently, a conventional warranty only promises to fix or replace a faulty part. It cannot guarantee your vehicle will not be stolen. You need a system that actively prevents theft.
