    Maybe you don’t live somewhere where your car is insanely hot or frozen over a lot? I’ve lived in both climates and remote start/ac/heat is a game changer.

      I have the ability to turn the car on and survive for the few minutes it takes for heat/cold to do it’s thing.

        Just for some perspective I’m talking about where you need to remotely turn on your block heater so the diesel can return to liquid, the engine can turn on so the cabin heats up enough to allow the door locks and handles to function and let you in the car.

        Also driving to work in a hot car in southern Europe waiting for the AC to kick in really sucks, we should enjoy journeys, not just survive them.

          Boo fucking hoo when I was a kid we opened the windows of the car to cool down.

          I’m pretty sure places that are cold enough to freeze the gas have other solutions than oem remote start on their miatas
