Remote starters that can reach from inside an office building to a distant end of a parking lot are underrated. I had this for about 6 months before the 3g network was shut down. Now, I'm limited to the range of a keyfob.

Not to mention scheduled starts: say, 10 minutes before you have to drive to work, to make brushing snow off a car much faster, or 10 minutes before you leave work so you don't give yourself a good sear on a random piece of metal in your car in the middle of summer.

Agree on both parts, but the second part can still be achieved from an unconnected car, you just can't do it remotely
