THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING AN

AstroStart REMOTE CAR STARTER!

Like you, Astroflex is concerned with the environment. This is why we are suggesting you

to use the two-minute runtime when you remote-start your vehicle to warm up engine fluids.

We take this opportunity to remind you to properly defrost your windows

and remove all the snow on your vehicle before driving on public roads.

Rolling igloos are extremely dangerous!

We wish you an excellent journey with your remote engine starter!
