Doesnt it come with models above SR5 though?

 

for some reason, they did not include remote start in the trail edition.

 

If it's one of those subscription extortion deals, ur better off without it lol

 

why do you need a remote start?

 

Winter

 

just get in and drive

 

It’s a comfort feature, something my wife will enjoy the most.

 

Can you takeover and the take off?

 

You must have the key fob and you need to put your foot on the brake for 3 seconds before shifting.

 

Which kit did you go with?

no wind inside the truck

How was the install? Is it a module that you have to put somewhere?

 

Once you get down to single digits and below, it's so nice to have remote start. Anyone who thinks it isn't useful hasn't spent enough time in those conditions. True, the vehicle warms up fastest by driving it, but letting the windows defrost for a few minutes and the electric heater warm the cab up a bit before the heater core can produce good heat is a comfort I wouldn't choose to live without since I've had it. At this point, remote start is almost a necessity in both extreme cold and extreme heat, unless you like needlessly suffering against the elements. Why even have heat in vehicles if you can just wear more clothing? Why have A/C when you can roll the windows down? Because most people like to be comfortable, and not doing things the hard way unnecessarily. You can have my remote start when you pry it from my warm, cozy hands.
