The Market for Remote Engine Start
SBD, Oct 2010, Pages: 41
What does the future hold for remote start systems and how can manufacturers avoid compromising vehicle security?
Many markets require remote start products to pre-heat or pre-cool vehicles due to extreme climate conditions, yet there are many national or local requirements that make it tough for the industry to understand what will be the future direction for this technology.
With an emergence of smartphone apps and electric heating systems that let consumers operate climate control functions directly without needing to start the engine, the demand for remote start will be met in the long term by these types of technological advances. In the meantime, there's an opportunity for OE systems to expand to meet the market need but they need to avoid the legal and security issues.
This report will enable you to:
- Identify target markets where Remote Start is a sought-after product by consumers
- Understand the restrictions on fitment or use of Remote Start in 13 key global markets
- Decide future strategies for Remote Start development, its control and the security implications
- Understand how to avoid the security risks to vehicles posed by Remote Start using current and new technology
This report details the types of Remote Start systems available with examples from different global markets. It also analyses the restrictions that exist against Remote Start, along with the general feeling towards the technology from governments and insurers.
SBD's expert opinion is included on what makes a good Remote Start system, overall market demand and advice on how it should be made as secure as possible for the end user.
