re: Why do people use remote start

How long does it take your AC or heater to get into gear and work properly? If you start the car 15-30 seconds before getting in, that's 15-30 seconds less of being uncomfortable. Could be the difference between starting to sweat or not.

I also use it a ton because it takes a few minutes to load the son up in the car seat. Don't want him in the hot car while we are fiddling around with his seat belt an everything.

Remote start is awesome in the winter up north because people have to let their cars run to defrost before they can go anywhere. That way you don't have to walk out of your house and it can be running while still locked

It's also awesome in the summer down south so you don't have to sit in your car (aka as a 150 degree oven) for 5 minutes while it cools down.

Because it's 2016

One guy I work with walks in to the break room when he's done with his shift, pulls down the blinds, and remote starts his truck every day - even if it's great weather like today. Looks around like he's a badass after he does it too - then walks to his truck. Has to come into the break room to do it. Every. Single. Time.

showing off but that feature is AWESOME on a blistering hot summer day after 18. I crank it up while unloading the cart and it's cool by the time i open the door.

I'm the only lazy arse at the gym starting my truck from the cardio room so it's cool by the time I get there

So they can finish their cereal bar.

just to get the heat or A/C going...or if I got packages, I clik to unlock, otherwise the key
