Introduction

This system is a state-of-the-art remote car starter system with command confirmation. It represents a major breakthrough in vehicle convenience technology and remote starter systems.

What is “eSH” Technology?

"eSH" technology uses Manchester decoding along with advanced custom data filters to help reduce data-bit transfer errors. This filtering mechanism minimizes dropped commands by the transceiver and develops more reliable range. By using narrow band filtering and unique software driven noise filters, the radio set is able to achieve much better input sensitivity resulting in up to 2,000 feet of operating range.
