First chance to try the remote start on my new truck. Didn't realize it was as icy as it was this morning, so I didn't use it. But coming home from work tonight, you bet I used it. Scraping the windows/getting the truck in driving condition sure worked a lot smoother than I am used to. Now I need to look up the Aurora puffer laws, but from my perspective I am good as the key isn't even in the truck, and the doors are locked.

Same here! It was nice looking out the kitchen window to see if the windows were defrosted yet. My Armada turns itself off after maybe 15 mins though so I need to keep an eye on it. Maybe there's a setting to extend that.

Snow?

What snow?

Came back in from Vegas at 1630 today without issue.

LOL

If your vehicle is like mine that have remote start, the transmission is locked out without the key. Even if someone broke a window to get in, they're not going anywhere. I have to press the start button with the key in range once I get into the vehicle to allow it to be driven.

My new-ish RAM truck also uses the outside temp to activate AC/Seat Ventilation if it's hot, and Heat/Seat Heater/Steering Wheel Heater if it's cold. It's not the greatest thing for maximum fuel economy, but is very convenient and a time saver where I'm not having to wait to clear the windows to get moving.

I?ve had remote start for about the last five years and I love it. Especially since my truck isn?t garaged. My wife has been jealous so I?m sure her next vehicle will have it as well. At least her car stays in the garage so she only has to deal with snow and ice at the end of her work day on occasion.

Wow. Another zombie thread full of people who don't post here any more.

Lots of people who should have stayed home, here. Not even 2" and lots of freaking out. Took all the back ways to work to miss the masses.
