    You start it remotely if you don’t have a preheater. Not that idling is great for a car engine, but at least you’ll have clear windows by the time you get in the car.

    In the summer you can use it to have a cold car to sit into.

    Remote climate control doesn’t work on ICE vehicles without Remote start or auxiliary preheater.

      Remote start, even if from the FOB, is a life saver where I live. Leaving the car out on a 90⁰ sunbath and just getting in the car is pure torture.
