I've seen something like this before where I guy would hide a key somewhere in his car. If this is what you are doing remember, if the car gets stolen, and subsequently recovered, the G's have a "black box" of sorts on them, it is likely your insurance will not cover your loss.

Just a friendly heads up. I'm interested to see what/how you did this. If you need the FSM to the car, lemme know and I'll hook you up.

Ouch! Maybe you shoulda gotten an x

We had about 20" of snow up in my hometown last week. I just drove back from Richmond VA with my new LE sedan, it sure was nice being in a place where you could actually see the sidewalks (at home I can barely navigate any intersections, the snow is piled so high you cant see around it)

I know it sounds like he's trying to cover his a$$$ but he feels
the electrical systems in these cars are getting more and more complicated and if I ever have a problem unrelated to the remote starter and the dealer trys to blame it on the starter at least I can say "You guys put it in", and the ball is back in their hands. Oh, I had to have the tiny remote with one button on to start the car and to stop it I press the "lock" button on the factory fob 3 times. Seems kind of silly but that's best I could get at the time.

Other than the coolness factor...

Other than the coolness factor, what's the real practical application of this feature? Sorry, don't mean to rain on the parade.

From what I understand, "warming up" a vehicle is not really required for 21st century vehicles (based on an article I read in car and driver). In fact, most manufacturers suggest that a better method for warming up a vehicle is to start driving at a normal speed (don't gun it) as soon as you start.

Of course, if you live in a cold climate, it is simply awesome to step into a heated car with toasty seats.... but for those of us cursed with beautiful weather....
