And what happens if it is really cold ??
Sorry . . . just realized you're from Florida, but same thing about letting a car sit running with the A/C on . . . you contribute to global warming and pollute and possibly overheat the car. What if something distracts you and you don't get out to the car in 20 minutes or more, Feah . . . you don't need a remote starter.
Well that's why remote starters are designed to prevent things like that. With programmable time limits, like 3, 5, and 10 minutes.
To be honest I'm not a big global warming supporter. Sure it would be nice for our cars to be more fuel efficient, more mpg. I think they are making more of a big deal than it really is. And I bought a Compass instead of keeping a 97 Ford Explorer V8 AWD, which I sure counts as my pollution reduction contribution.
My main reason I would like to use it, is during pit stops. I'm one to be in and out. I used to use it on my Ford Explorer. But other than that I would like it because it allows me to warm up my car (get the juices flowing sense). I'm bad at hopping in the car and going. With remote start it would allow it to start, ready to go, and then I'm off. In that sense it would be better for my car.
I'm not trying to start an argument, don't take me in that sense. You make good points that I should consider. I just wanted to get the general idea about Remote Starters, people that have them, and anyone that might have one on their compass now.
Thanks
