Questions and Answers

    Why does my Directed Electronics Remote Starter have poor transmitting range?
    • R
      Roy MunozJul 26, 2025
      Several factors can affect the transmitting range of your Directed Electronics Remote Starter. Always hold the transmitter high, ideally at shoulder height, or against your chin to use your head as an antenna. Be aware that crowded parking lots reduce range. Check the transmitter battery condition and avoid areas with high radio-frequency noise, such as downtown areas, airports, or cellular phone towers. Metal objects and the vehicle's shape, especially vans, can also diminish range. Positioning yourself directly in front of or behind the vehicle may improve the range due to radio-frequency deflection from the roof and A-pillars.
