You all can thank me for cleaning the ever living fuck out of my truck.... just in time for snow and salt.
We took over an additional building space in our complex, and I originally thought the owner would move over to this office to have the solo bathroom, but she said she wanted the larger office and to be closer to the office girls and that I could take it....
Didnt have to tell me twice.
does your new rig have an aftermarket system?
im contemplating something for my dadvan... there are systems that are plug and play, hit lock 3x and it starts- they are super cheap for newer F150s and work super solid. i think it's the same setup for older gm shit
Factory remote starts are nothing to brag about IMO.
the highlanders factory remote start was so horrible the dealer told us not to get it. Shit range, literally like 25 feet.
I went with a plug and play unit, range is OK, but once you open any door it shuts off engine. Something with Toyota.
An after market system would avoid that.
SHO is not that great either. Almost have to be direct sight...
My 2 prestige systems on super duty and gtp were absolutely flawless. Best range, best settings, best everything.

New whip has nothing, wife’s Tahoe has aftermarket. Sure it starts the vehicle but doesn’t adjust any settings so whatever hvac is at is where it’s at. No heated seats controlling either.
caprice would click on defrost, heated mirrors and adjust hvac for temp then blast the fuck out of the window to defrost.

Viper on my Duramax and Megan's Jeep were/are awesome. Just click it somewhere nearby within ~300ft and it works.
Remote start on my Raptor you have to be in line of sight for it to work. Granted, if I'm LOS, it will work across the parking lot ~150ft. If not, good fucking luck so the range really only works ~10ft away most of the time. Factory remote starts are nice because you only have one fob but fucking suck otherwise.

No not at all, yota had 5 different flavors of the XLE. they literally had business cards of a near by remote start place.
They got so tired of being bitched out by customers for a shit system
Honda needs remote start sooner rather than later methinks
Factory remote start is only worth it if you can start it through an app IMO. Dad150 had that and it was great. My taurus factory remote start was LOS and only worked half the time, legit sucked
My wife's lexus you could start it through an app, but same thing as alex said, it shut off if you open a door. Weird but not a big deal

Gm factory shit seems to work just fine from way far away. Never had a problem with caprice and I parked it out of sight behind a brick building
As a factory option, no clue. I think it was included with sync3
here

Remote start is nice... steering wheel is warm when I get in. Although, the calibration for "heat" is not that great.
It will be 55* in the AM and the truck will blast the heat. Why is it like a sauna in here ? WTF
OR when I want A/C but it's 64* and the truck blows warm air @ the 70* setting because it's "cold" outside.

Yeah, my 07 Silverado's calibration is a bit funky. It'll be 65-70° and I'll hit the remote start just to let it run for a few seconds before I leave and the AC will be on full blast. What I do like is that it will kick on the electric fans to get the AC temp down cold while sitting still. When the heat kicks on it will also kick on the seat/back warmers. It's all factory since it is the LTZ package.
Range isn't that great. LOS might be about 250' on a good day, if I have elevation. I think the antenna is in the driver's side C pillar, right up against the metal, which doesn't help reception at all. Would be better if they integrated it into the shark fin for the satellite radio antenna.
Did an aftermarket in the g/f's Honda Fit and that fucker has like a 1/4 mile range. The only problem is that the park & run feature doesn't work right. While it's running you can click it a few times then pull the key and it keeps running. However when you get out you can't lock the door. I think it's something with the programming.

Besides the range bullshit, mine does the same thing. AC/cooled seats when it's warm and heat/heated seats when it's cold enough.
Currently seeing if it's even possible to add a heated steering wheel and coming up empty handed.
