FAQs
A: There are SEVERAL reasons why you choose us: 5. IF you still dont understand these reasons, just go to our GALLERY and view the ‘DIY’ pictures of how other shops install items for just a few dollars savings and see if its worth it(?) A. Those online webstores are usually buying up the products from anywhere BUT the manufacturer and often the items are rebuilt,fraudulent,or stolen merchandise which is then resold to these webstores from sites like Ebay and Craigslist….and then, sold to YOU! Effective 2011, ALL of our manufacturers now have a policy in place to combat this fraud and will NOT honor a warranty if items are not purchased from their local dealer/ retail stores(like us). This is clearly posted on their websites and some manufacturers now sell DIRECTLY on their own site to you, which they then supply you the item from your local business (again,us) A. It takes a ‘few continuos hours’ to complete 1 car, so we require the car to be dropped off for the whole day. The reason for this is because we often get VERY busy and cannot complete a car without interruption so that is why we do not offer the option for you to wait around. A: Costs vary on a Per-car-basis!! With over 85,000+ model cars available, every year,make and model constantly change its wiring/operations, so we will need to estimate your labor and addtional required parts per vehicle. A. YES and NO. Car dealers say this often in order to get you to buy THEIR products EXCLUSIVELY, but its very untrue. Any item can be installed as long as the part doesn’t damage a factory component directly when installed, or interfere with the normal operation of a factory part. In fact, its the law that the Dealership carries the burden to PROVE without a doubt that the item caused the problem. See the Federal law called “Magnasson/Moss Act” for more details. A. (Most 1995+ vehicles have one,ask your dealership) In short, your car key has a coded microchip inside the plastic head (the part you grab) and ONLY those keys will allow your car to start and run. So in order for a remote start to work, you either need to give us a key to install or we can often ‘copy’ the code with an INTERFACE module. If you do have this type of factory security, you should be aware of it and need to tell us in advance,in order to get an accurate price for an installation. A. Yes, the factory remote will work just as it did from day one. We never cut out any of your factory wiring that will eliminate factory options. However, the FACTORY designs most remotes to STOP working once the car is RUNNING with or without the keys in it. So as an added convenience, we can install the doorlock and trunk open options to our remotes. This also eliminates the need to carry 2 remotes on your keychain. Please be aware that some of your factory features(like special beep sounds from the car, or pushing it 2times to unlock all doors or roll-down windows) ONLY work with your factory remote and NOT on OUR remotes.Q. Why is Anywhere Audio a better choice than other places?
1. We have been installing for over 24 years and been in business longer than any store around.
2. We are CERTIFIED by ALL Manufacturers AND ALSO the Auto industry like Toyota,Lexus and more…
3. There are reasons why Dealerships refer ONLY us to perform installations with your vehicles sophisticated wiring and computers.
4. We sell the HIGHEST quality units and you dont need to wait for a Sales-Flyer or purchase those ‘protection plans’. There’s also no ‘hidden or surprise costs’ to you after the sale.Q. Why are prices at online webstores so cheap?
Q. How long does it take to install a remote starter?
Q. How much does it cost to install a remote starter? Can i get a deal on 2 or more?
Here’s the magic breakdown: The basic style remote starter(any brand) is around $100, THEN to make it work in YOUR specific car requires an INTERFACE module ranging from $50-$100. Lastly, is the MOST important, the QUALITY INSTALLATION of these parts and 30+ wires to your car computers…which we charge a basic fee of $150(approx. 2 hrs.) on a typical vehicle. This is where the phrase “YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR” comes from! The parts are all the same…its the QUALITY your paying for.
It costs us the same minimum fee in parts and labor time to do EACH car and the remote start prices are already discounted to give you the best deals year round! (unlike those other places that give you a gimmick price with a flyer or sale that gets you in the door, only to learn YOUR car needs a whole lot more OR the model shown DOESNT apply to your vehicle!!) Q. Does installing any type of accessory VOID my factory warranty?
HOWEVER, the answer is YES when you have some discounted-shop do your installation of wiring wrong (see DIY gallery pics) and why you should have only our QUALIFIED installations performed and backed by most Dealerships.Q. What is a “chip-key” also known as a Transponder key and how do i know if i have one?
Q. Will my factory remote still work after it’s installed? Can i get the same options on the new remote?
