Default In control remote

Anyone here use the climate/engine start button on their remote app? I've started mine up to warm it up the last two nights about 20 minutes before I leave for home. Works great

I do it frequently. One more good thing about it - it remembers the last seat heat/cool settings.

I wish the normal start remembered it...

I'd prefer if it could be done with the keyfob since it would be easier and the app on the phone keeps loosing its login.

FYI: No need to let the car sit for 20 minutes, its a waste. In 5 to 6 minutes it will be fine.

It's an awesome feature! I usually do it right from my Apple Watch. Never thought I'd see the day that I could set the interior temperature of my car from my watch before leaving work....

I've only used it a couple of times, but I'm more inclined to use it in hot weather than in cold, particularly since I have jet/jet interior. I do agree that the app forces you to log in again to often, but I also use the app for making sure my car is locked or checking on how much gas I have. It's also a great tool for when you need the VIN and or the mileage for a transaction and not have to walk back out to the car.

Now if they would only integrate apple apps, it would be great. I have unlimited data so I'd much more likely use Google Maps or Mapquest for NAV, than the built in one.
