I have it on my K5. I forget about it and hardly ever use it anymore but it is fun to start it up and scare girls at parties as they walk by. :doah: It's nice if it's hot or cold outside, but you had to remember to leave the A/C or heat on last time you were in it. Other than that and the "look at me" factor, it's not all that usefull. :doah:
I'm having the Mopar Accessories remote start and power running boards added to my new truck. They rolled it into the deal.
I don't have it, but my father in law does (aftermarket tied in with an alarm). It IS nice on cold mornings but Oregon doesn't get as cold as Colorado so I rarely felt the need (especially with quick heating leather seats ). Funny story - last year up camping on Mt. Hood, my dog was waiting in my father in law's truck to leave - all alone inside it, mind you. Next thing we know, his truck started! Chevy (my dog's name............. ) had stepped on the remote start button and lit off the Cummins! Priceless look on his face as his ears went up, not to mention all of our laughing our butts off.
With my old truck I had a spare key and would start the truck and lock the doors. From resent articles in the paper, doing that if someone broke a window and took off in my truck I could get ticketed. But with remote start I'm legal. It's more for cold mornings to defog the windows and hot days to get the air going.
I have the Mopar remote start on my 2005 Cummins and love it. Hit it every morning from inside the house, brush my teeth, put my tie on and then go out to a warm truck. After work, this time of year I turn the A/C on before I shut down in the morning, work all day, fire it up from my desk at 10 to 5 and go out to a cooled off truck after work. I love the remote start and every vehicle I buy from now on will have it.
How did we get along without this stuff back in the day? Before cars it would be someone with an auto horse feeder so his horse would be feed and ready to go, fool probably bragged about it to all his cowboy friends. :doah:
Oh yeah..... I modified a toilet floater rubber ball thingy, connected it to a hose, and now I never have to refill my horse's water trauff....auto water refiller.....beat that. imp: rotfl rotfl :doah:
