My Milly had a remote start from the previous owner. When the dealer gave me the the extra "non-standard" remote I tossed it in a drawer and didn't give it a second thought.

 

Then one freezing-ass Toronto morning I remembered it, took it out, looked it over, looked out the window at my ice-covered car, remembered what many have said on this forum about remote start wiring hassles, took a deep breath and pressed the button.

 

I'm hooked, baby! She spools up, flashes me a friendly double blink of the parking lights to confirm the fire is lit and doors are unlocked and I'm out there within about three minutes.

 

Truth be told the car really isn't that warm but it's that much closer to warming up once I start driving.

 

I seem to remember it's actually not that good to leave a car idling from cold for extended periods. Fluids don't warm enough to properly protect the engine.

 

I think a combo of remote start, block heater, oil heater, battery blanket and a freakin seat warmer that worked would be ideal.
