Top 8 Reasons to Tint Your Windows
Saturday, 19 May 2012 23:38

window tinted carWith Spring fully upon us, and Summer’s blasting heat and sun right around the corner, now is the perfect time to bring your car in to have the windows tinted at Extreme Audio!

With that in mind, I figured it was a good time for a blog about the main reasons to consider having window film put on your vehicle.

Style – Let’s face it, a car with window tint just looks better! I know it’s far from the most scientific reason, but adding tint to your car brings out a little more style, and separates your vehicle’s looks from the others like it on the road.

Heat – As you likely know, the sun’s blasting rays in the summer can have you cranking the air conditioning almost non-stop while you’re driving. Adding window film to your windows can cut the interior temperature down as much as 60%!

Health – Everyone has heard by now, how damaging to your skin UV rays can be. Window Tint is like a bottle of sunscreen, blocking up to 99% of damaging UV rays that would normally be raining down on you while driving.

Energy - We’re all feeling the pain at the pump these days. While it’s certainly not going to double your fuel efficiency, not having to run your AC as much due to the lower interior temperatures will certainly help!

Interior - The same UV rejection that occurs from adding window tint will also work wonders for your vehicle’s interior. UV rays kill your leather interior, crack and fade the dash, and discolor even cloth seats. Not interested in dark tint? You can actually have a clear film installed that keeps the vehicles looks the same, but blocks the UV rays.

Safety - Window tinting can also help quite a bit if you’re in an accident. Unlike the windshield, the side windows are not laminated, and shatter into a bazillion pieces when they break. Adding a quality window film can hold those pieces of glass together, and help prevent you getting cut when in an accident.

Vision – Window tint can also help cut down on many of the blinding glares caused on the road. Headlights of other vehicles behind you and the sun blasting in your side windows can be a huge distraction while driving.

Privacy – Not only does window tint give you a good level of privacy by cutting down on people seeing in your car, it also provides a good bit of security for the contents on your vehicle. With all the portable devices we carry in this day and age, making those items left in the car a bit harder to see, is a definite plus!

Interested in finding out more information on adding window tint to your car, truck, or suv? Give us a call, or shoot us an email below, and we’d be happy to assist!

Remote Starter FAQ
Saturday, 19 May 2012 23:38

remstartSo you’re thinking about a Remote Start, but have some questions? Check out our Remote Start FAQ’s (Frequently Asked Questions) If you have a question not covered, shoot us an email!

Q. Will a Remote Start System void my new car warranty?

A. NO. We install remote start systems for many of the area car dealerships. When properly installed, today’s remote start systems are fully compatible with the complex electronic systems in newer vehicles. Federal Law prevents an auto manufacturer from voiding a new car warranty because you chose to have non-factory accessories installed. For more info, Google Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975.

Q. How long will it take?
A. Installation time varies greatly from vehicle to vehicle. We typically would prefer the vehicle be dropped off with us for the day. If this isn’t possible, other arrangements can be made.

Q. What should I bring with me?
A. Please bring two ignition keys that will both start the vehicle. Many of the interface modules require two keys for programming. If you do not have two keys, let us know and we can go over the available options to work around that.

Q. My car is a stick shift. Can you install a Remote Start?
A. YES! We have remote starts designed to work safely on stick shifts. There is a small additional charge for stick shift vehicles.

Q. I have a diesel engine. Can you install a Remote Start?
A. YES! We have remote starts designed for diesels. When you activate your remote start, it will wait for the glow plugs or manifold heaters to turn off before it attempts to start.

Q. My key has a chip in it. Can you install a Remote Start?
A. YES! We have the proper bypass module for almost all vehicles. These bypass modules are only activated when you remote start your vehicle. So, when you vehicle is sitting in a parking lot, the factory anti-theft system is still fully functional. Caution.... Many shops will bypass the factory anti-theft system all together to save a little work!

Q. My vehicle has a push-button start (Smart Key). Can you install a remote start?
A. YES! For most Smart-Key / push-button start vehicles, we are able to install a remote start.

Q. How long will my vehicle stay running?
A. The run time is programmable. Most shops will simply leave it at the pre-programmed 15 minutes, but when its 10 degrees outside that may not cut it! Talk to your sales rep for customizing the options to your needs.

Q. Can somebody take my car while it is remote started?
A. NO. If your car is locked, it will remain locked. The steering wheel and shifter (automatic trans) will also stay locked. Most importantly, you must insert your key in the ignition before you can drive away. If anyone attempts to drive away without the key in the ignition, the engine will shut off as soon as you put your foot on the brake pedal.

Q. How much will I save if I install it myself?
A. Due to the complex nature of Remote Start Systems, we STRONGLY suggest leaving the installation to a qualified and trained installation technician. Just because someone is a mechanic, does NOT mean they can install a Remote Start! Our techs are experts, but I wouldn’t let them work on my transmission!
