A Quick Guide to Crimestopper Remote Start Add-Ons from MyPushcart

Bottom Line: MyPushcart offers Crimestopper remote start upgrades that extend your range up to 3,000 feet, add smartphone control, and enhance your existing system - all with professional support to ensure perfect compatibility.

If you already have a Crimestopper remote starter in your vehicle, you might be wondering how to get better range, add new features, or replace worn remotes. The good news is that MyPushcart specializes in Crimestopper upgrades that can transform your existing system without starting from scratch.

Understanding Crimestopper Remote Start Systems

Crimestopper has built a reputation for reliable remote start and alarm systems that work across a wide range of vehicles. Their current product lines include RS, LC, DS, PS, and SP series systems, each designed to provide convenient keyless entry and remote starter functionality for your car.

Crimestopper systems feature a modular design, allowing the Crimestopper module to accept upgrades without a complete reinstall. You can enhance the range or add smartphone control by plugging in new components. MyPushcart understands how these systems integrate with your vehicle's ignition, door lock mechanisms, and factory wiring.

Core benefits of remote start systems include:

Does not control temperature, only comes on where you last set climate controls.

• Climate Recall: Your vehicle starts up with the same heating or cooling settings you last used, so it’s ready just the way you like it

• Extended Range: With the right upgrades, you can control your vehicle from much greater distances

• Added Features: Smartphone control and 2-way confirmation expand your system's capabilities

When It's Time to Upgrade Your Crimestopper Remote Start

Several signs indicate your current remote start might benefit from an upgrade:

• Limited Range: Your key fob only works when standing close to your vehicle

• Unreliable Response: The Remote starter requires multiple button presses to work

• Worn Remotes: Physical wear on buttons or key fob casing

• Missing Features: Want smartphone control or 2-way confirmation, your current system lacks

Upgrading your existing Crimestopper system offers significant advantages over complete replacement:

• Save Time: Keep your current installation without rewiring

• Save Money: Cost-effective upgrades versus full system replacement

• Add Features: Gain new capabilities like smartphone control or extended range

• Improved Performance: Better range and functionality from your existing investment

One critical compatibility requirement: upgrades only work with systems that include a Crimestopper module. If your vehicle has a different manufacturer's remote start system, these upgrades won't be compatible. If you're unsure about your system's compatibility, check your existing module or contact MyPushcart for verification.

1-Way RF Upgrade Options - Extended Range Solutions

1-way remote start systems send signals from your remote to your vehicle, but don't provide confirmation back to you. When you press the button on a 1-way remote, you'll need to look at your car to see if it started successfully.

The main advantage of 1-way RF upgrades is extended range - the MPC options reach 1,500 feet compared to factory remotes that work within shorter distances. They're also easier to install since they plug directly into your existing Crimestopper module.

1-way systems work well if you can see your vehicle from where you typically use the remote, such as from your house or office window. The lack of confirmation isn't an issue when you have visual access to your car.

Available 1-Way Options:

• The 1-Button Compact Solution: includes two ultra-compact remotes with 1,500 feet of range. The package contains remotes, antenna, and cable for plug-in installation with Crimestopper/CoolStart PS, RS, LC, DS, and SP models.

• The 5-Button Advanced Control: offers expanded functionality with programmable buttons for remote start, door lock/unlock, trunk release, and other features depending on your vehicle's capabilities. Uses the same range and compatibility as the 1-button version.

Premium 2-Way Communication Upgrade

Unlike 1-way systems, 2-way remote start provides confirmation back to your remote when commands are executed. This means you'll know for certain whether your car started or doors are locked without having to look at your vehicle. The remote receives status updates and can alert you through display messages, sounds, or vibration.

2-way systems offer several key advantages over 1-way options. You get peace of mind knowing your commands worked, especially useful when starting your car from inside buildings or when your vehicle isn't visible. The confirmation feature is particularly valuable in crowded parking lots where you might not be able to see your specific vehicle.

Available 2-Way Option:

• LCD 2-Way RF-Kit: provides 3,000 feet of range with a 2-way LCD remote and companion 1-way remote. Works with RS, LC, DS series and SP-402 models. Compatible with RS, LC, and DS series models, plus SP-402 alarm/remote start combo. Features programmable audible and vibration alerts, antenna system, and USB charging for the internal rechargeable battery.

Smartphone App Integration - Modern Remote Control

Smartphone app control represents the latest advancement in remote start technology. Instead of carrying a separate key fob, you control your vehicle through an app on your cell phone. This provides virtually unlimited range - you can start your car from anywhere you have cellular or WiFi coverage.

App-based systems offer unique features beyond traditional remotes:

• GPS Tracking: Locate your vehicle in large parking lots or monitor its location when others are driving

• Convenience: No extra device to carry - use your existing cell phone

• Unlimited Range: Control your vehicle from anywhere within network coverage areas

However, smartphone control requires reliable cellular coverage and won't work in areas with poor network connectivity. The system depends on your phone's battery life and data connection.

Available Smartphone Option:

• MyCar App System: allows control through your cell phone with coverage throughout the continental United States. Includes integrated GPS locator, one year of free service, and the MyCar add-on interface module. 

• Important limitation: works only with RS-Series remote starts and does not work with LC or DS series systems.
