Remote Control Starting

If I can find a bus in the next year I will have to put it in storage until I can find a place to work on it/park it. I have the property - just not developed yet. Is there a remote control starter for a skoolie that can be connected to a cell phone? I am hoping to find a RE 1999 or earlier.

Compustar Drone-Mobile has a diesel module available for it.. ive never installed one myself however one of my cars had a Drone mobile put in and it worked like a champ..



the biggest issue with remote starting a vehicle that sits a long time esp in cold weather in a storage unit is you cant check for animals sleeping under the bonnet before starting..



where i keep my busses esp if I have a block heater plugged in.. id say 1 out of 5 times when I go to use a bus, I bang on the side of the hood before getting in and off runs a cat or racoon that was sleeping somewhere in the engine.



while a small animal is no match for a spinning diesel engine, if said animal gets caught in the drive belt it can knock the belt off.. now you have an unattended vehicle running with no water circulation...
