Key fob works great if the car is close. Remote start by app is fantastic when it’s farther away.

- prmoustache 2y agoWhy would you want to remote start a car if you are a mile away?
- HeyLaughingBoy 2y agoI used to commute into the city by express bus. Drive to Metro Transit Park-n-Ride lot, park the car and get on the bus. On the way back a lot of people would start their cars (via app) when about 5 minutes away from the lot. That translates to about 4-5 miles at freeway speed. Alternately, at the office, some people parked at a lot that was about a mile away and it's nice to be able to start your car when it's 95F or -15F so it's comfortable when you get there.

- HeyLaughingBoy 2y agoWhatever works for you. Me, I like my creature comforts.
- brookst 2y agoUmm… maybe not a mile, but if you’re walking ten minutes in ice/snow (maybe a quarter mile), it is VERY nice to have it warm when you get there. I’m surprised this is surprising.
