Re: Remote starter advice
 

Good to hear about the range. It makes sense that interference matters
more than line-of-sight. Also, thanks for the tip about the relays, as
I will feel much better going in and talking to them with that
information.

Curly: I didn't notice anything about a remote starter mentioned in my
manual, but I probably just missed it. Aside from doing something like
starting the car and leaving it idle for 10 minutes every morning
before going to work (which I wouldn't do), what kind of negative
impact would it have on the car's engine life?

You didn't miss it, but if you read the whole manual, you'll see that
it's in there by inference. Your manual says to warm up the engine ASAP
by driving it right away so it will get into it's proper heat range.
Since it takes forever to warm up while idling, you wear the engine
faster, plug up the Catalytic converter and waste more gas. You also
accumulate lots of acids in the oil because the engine is so
inneficient.
