I'd like to be able to turn my car heat/air on using only the key fob. I don't want to go out and purchase a smart phone to do that.

Says the guy who lives where there is never ice on the ground outside.baustin said:If you have to get close enough to use the key fob, it's not any more difficult to walk to the car, turn it on, go back inside, and wait for the car climate to adjust.

That's why I moved here. I grew up in ice and snow, before remote start and FOB's, don't miss it one bit.

So perhaps you shouldn't be lecturing those who have to traverse ice, snow and frigid temps to go out to the car...?

Having had to traverse ice, snow, and endure frigid temps a good part of my life makes me qualified to lecture on it.
Maybe you should brush up on your reading comprehension skills.

Maybe when you're old, and have poor circulation, including Renaud's (sp?) syndrome, you'll appreciate the difference between a frigid cabin (and steering wheel) slowly warming up, and one that's tolerable the moment you get in. You also fail to consider the distance to walk to some drivers' cars. No, you're just making a sloppy, callous argument.

That's enough to activate it from a store window if away from home, or at least in time to get it partially warm as you arrive. I would be able to use my fob from my front window, and with the worthless 2G modem in my car, that would be a huge advantage. It would be far easier for others to step a couple of feet outside and use the fob, instead of walking to the car and back. In any case, I'm done arguing this. You're just wasting my time.
