Duncan.
I fully understand the nature of forums and the debate that generallly ensues.
However my post was not to discuss/debate whether remote start is even needed, but for information, not personal opinion on whether something is needed or not.
Just because you (and others) may not see it as useful doesn't make it any less useful to me, anyone else or indeed the people elsewhere in the world that have an option for remote start already.
I thank the posters who have actually provided information, including legality/insurance issues.
Perhaps Duncan, if you have nothing of actual use to the original post I'd suggest keeping away.
