Well said. I've said this before but the main thing I'll be telling people here in Texas is that during the summer I can cool my car down with my iPhone from inside before I even step one foot outside to get into the car. That is a huge selling point to me as much as remote heating will be to people up North. There are traditional ICEs with remote starting but none that come from that factory that I can think of and none that you can start in the garage with the door closed due to the exhaust of course.
I've been driving a Ford Fusion Hybrid for over three years that has remote start from the factory that works great in hot or cold weather (to preheat or pre-cool the car...if the car is not in a garage). If the ICE is "warm", it does not start to heat or cool the car using the remote...the heater or A/C work in electric "mode".
