One of the first remote starters on the market was launched in the prairies by a Winnipeg-based company by the name of A.A. Auto Matic Products Limited. The barren winter winds were a little too much to handle and this was one of the first electronic solutions.<\/div>\n

By late 1968, the wireless Ramostar Radio Motor Starter was all the rage, according to the Mail Order section of Popular Sciences. Ramostar hailed from a suburb of Chicago, Illinois. The Radio Motor Starter wasn\u2019t cheap; $595 US in 1968 money, which translated into about a third of the price for something called a Toyota, or the outright purchase of a six-year old Rambler<\/p>\n

Early 1990s , VitroPlus added the remote starter to it\u2019s growing electronic line of products. This model was fresh, small and with only one function, what a life saver!<\/p>\n

Evoluation brought trunk, alarm and lock\/unlock features<\/p>\n

SMART PHONE ERA
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

5 years ago we would never have associated the smart phone with a remote starter. We used to have the liberty of ignoring wireless communication evolution. Did you know that in Canada, mobile data traffic will grow 900% from 2013 to 2018, that is a compound annual growth rate of 54%. (Cisco, VNI Mobile Forecast Highlights, 2013-2018)<\/p>\n

Those times are gone! The writing is on the wall that smart phones are here to stay and will continue to evolve<\/p>\n
