Remote warm up for the FR-S? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I was just wondering if you could install anything to remotely start the car and the heat. I know this may be only for automatic transmissions but I am curious since many new cars have this feature.

That is what the parking brake is for anyway. No need to leave it in gear as long as that works.
How did you get around the clutch start switch though? I would love a remote!

its a cheap brand, one way remote,
avital 4113, nice range, starts the car 90% of the time on the first try, sometimes it takes a second try to start the car,

only use it in the winter months

Anything below 60 is cold here haha. My southern skin can't handle it. We had 2 days off of school this week due to <1 inch of snow and also a 2 hour delay due to 25 degree weather. We can't handle it down here lol.

I know I used to live in NC, and one time it snowed (about a quarter inch) and they shut down all of the local schools and military was helping out around town lol.

Right? Cold weather and snow in the southern states is literally statewide emergency.
