Remote Start

[Ant1981]

Could be interesting for the insurance if the car is stolen. 

No as the way they work is they start with the car locked. When you open the door, the engine stops.

My point was aimed @ this comment 

just have to bypass the immobiliser (or get the chip out of the spare key and tape it inside the dash next to the ignition hole) always ways to get around things

what i normally do is get up a little earlier, get dressed, have a cuppa, then go out about 5 mins earlier and start the car with the transponder key that i usually keep in my pocket. while the car is running with the blowers on i scrape off all the frost.
preperation is always the key too..

Thats what i do too.

how ever ive been told that this can increase wear and tear on the engine due to the oil not splashing enough on idle?

Can you lock the doors with the engine on? Ie start the car with spare key lock it witg other key and have a brew?

Watched this on telly the the other day, bloke had remote start on his van and started whilst walking up to it. It started but had left it in gear and pinned himself against a wall and broke his leg. So basically ran himself over lol

ha ooops! 

Its a nice idea. Even better if you could rev remotely VRUOOOOMMM PSHHHHHH Next to some random person whilst in the takeaway. 

Someone at work mentioned a turbo timer to me. I didn't know they were illegal whys this? 

Edit: I just looked it up. I guess they are illegal for the same reason remote start is. Due to the fact there is no driver behind the wheel. Its dangerous. But i'm guessing a turbo timer could be used as part of a remote start.

I don't think any of it is legal as you're not meant to have a running car with nobody in it.
