Send your car running before you step outside.
Otrac fits a proper remote start and a smart-key upgrade onto the car you already drive. Press start from your phone or the fob, let the AC cool the cabin, and get in to a car that is ready to move.
- Start from your phone
- Cool the cabin first
- Smart-key upgrade
- App control
- Hidden, secure install
Your car warms up while you finish your coffee.
Remote start lets you fire the engine without sitting in the car. You send the command from the fob in your pocket or the app on your phone, and the car starts on its own, doors still locked, ready for you to hop in and drive.
In Lagos heat that one step changes the whole morning. The AC has already pulled the warmth out of the cabin before you touch the handle, so you slide into a cool seat instead of a furnace. A smart-key upgrade adds the same convenience to an older car that never came with it from the factory, and we tie it to your security so nobody can turn the trick against you.
Three things make an Otrac remote start worth fitting.
Start from anywhere
The fob covers the compound. The app reaches the car from your desk or the shops, so it is already running by the time you walk out.
Cool it before you get in
Leave the AC set, send start, and the fan runs while the car sits. You meet a cool cabin, not a wall of heat off the dashboard.
Locked while it idles
The engine can run, but the car stays locked and held in place. It will not move until a real key is in the ignition, so a running engine is not an open invitation.
From a WhatsApp message to a car that starts itself.
Message us the car
Send the make, model, year and your city on WhatsApp. We tell you what your car takes, fob or app, and the price. No back and forth.
We come to you
A fitter meets you at home or the office and wires the module in behind the dash, out of sight. Most cars are done in under 60 minutes.
We hand over and show you
You get the new fob, the app if you chose it, and a walk-through on the spot. You start the car once with us there so you know it works.
You start it your way
From then on you press start from the fob or your phone, let the cabin cool, and get in. One number to call if anything ever acts up.
Everything in a remote-start fitting.
One visit, and a car that responds to your phone the way a new one should.
Remote engine start
Fire the engine from the fob or the app, with the doors staying locked the whole time it idles.
Smart-key upgrade
Push-to-start convenience added to an older car, matched to the ignition you already have.
Pre-cool the cabin
Set the AC and let the fan pull the heat out before you open the door, every morning.
App control
Reach the car from your phone across the country, on the same platform that runs our trackers.
Held while it runs
Locked doors and a held transmission mean an idling engine cannot be driven off without your key.
Hidden, clean wiring
Fitted behind the dash by people who wire these every week, with no loose cables on show.
The roadside kit vs a fitted Otrac remote start.
Same idea on paper, very different car to own once the novelty wears off.
We wire remote start the way we wire trackers. To last.
Otrac has worked on Nigerian cars since 2017. We know which modules survive the heat and the power a car draws in slow traffic, and which ones cook themselves inside a year. You get the setup that holds, wired by a team that does this daily, not a kit taped in behind your dash by a stranger.
Because the start runs on the same platform as our trackers, on an NCC-registered SIM that stays live, you get one app and one number. Start the car, see where it is, and reach us fast if you ever need to.

Remote start is one part of owning a car in Nigeria.
Most owners who add remote start already have the rest of the car on their mind. Otrac looks after the whole life of the vehicle, so you deal with one team for all of it.

Glass tint & protection
