The remote start is really nice, especially in the cold. Just a warning though, if you park in the garage. We had a remote start on our old car, and one day we parked in my parents garage to run in the house for a few minutes. Our sone had fallen asleep in the car so we left him in there since we were only going inside for a minute. After a few minutes we heard a noise and went to the garage. The car had turned itself on in the closed garage with my son in the car. Everything was fine since it was only a few minutes. I don't know if the button got pushed in my hubbys pocket or what, but just wouldn't feel right without mentioning it because i never even thought about the possibility. Sorry for the long post.
