It's all shits and giggles until someone giggles and shits.....
I recently added a smart plug that is setup in my Home Automation to turn on below a certain temp, and turn off above a certain temp. Just keep my truck plugged in and the automation takes care of the rest.
It's not a daily driver, so I'm usually loading things into it to go somewhere and it's plenty warm by the time I finish farting around and need to drive it.
I was gifted a basic Viper remote start a few years ago and decided to re-gift it so it never did get installed.
On the HA setup, I'm going to work on it some more to also only come on at deeper temps if I'm away from the house, and perhaps change it up a little depending on my location. I just need to get better with stringify. I can always just turn it on remotely at will too.

My Feedback
Credit TFOGGER : Liberals only want things to be "fair and just" if it benefits them.
Credit Zundfolge: The left only supports two "rights"; Buggery and Infanticide.
Credit roberth: List of things Government does best; 1. Steal your money 2. Steal your time 3. Waste the money they stole from you. 4. Waste your time making you ask permission for things you have a natural right to own. "Anyone that thinks the communists won't turn off your power for being on COAR15 is a fucking moron."
I know this is an older thread, but I bought a factory oem remote start from eBay in November for a Mazda and installed it. It was priced at about half what the local dealer wanted and took about an hour to install. Just another option to consider.
Went out to start my car this morning. No go. Can weather have an affect? Gonna have to call in
Yeah, that's a bummer. Defeats the purpose if it doesn't work when it gets cold.
