isn't it bad leaving the car running in idle to warm up the car? I honestly don't even warm up the car. I just start driving even if its cold as hell but within 5 minutes the temperature gets up pretty good so then I'm fine.

Oh and a little off topic: but do people think they're heated seats are hot enough? Mine seem so weak especially compared to the c300 we just got. In the c300 on the highest setting, it will literally burn your *** it gets that hot!

 

Good point. The Corolla had fabric seats. Leather seats are cold.

Mike, is this the remote start thread?

Yea its the thread. Well worth it

 

I think they're hot enough, I prefer to not have my *** feel like it's on fire. I can only assume that at that heat setting it must be pretty uncomfortable, and chances are (if you're a dude) that if your *** feels like its on fire then so must your nuts, and I don't even want to try and imagine what that must feel like.

 

put a blanket / pilow in your car.

 

Dumb question....put your temp all the way up, fan on high then wait till car warms up....adjust accordingly

 

No. This would blow cold air until the car gets warmed up. If you push Auto, then it will slowly ramp up the fan until the car gets warm.

 

Has anyone noticed the recirculate/fresh air setting that switches by itself even when NOT in the Auto mode. This is really irritating because if I wanted the car to think for itself, I would select Auto. When in manual, I put it in recirculate when driving through dusty areas, but I'll look down and it has switched to outside air. Had many Toyotas before and unless in Auto, the A/C systems stayed where I set them.

On the heat question, I take it out of Auto, set my temp to HI, then set blower speed and which vents I want manually. Seems to heat quicker.

 

So remote starters can be installed in these cars safely? I was told to do so would void the warranty ..... is that a fact? If I might ask, what's the cost to have one installed?

 

yall do know the heaters heat source is the engine coolant right, you're not going to get any heat while the engine is cold. That heat doesnt come out of nowhere

 

Exactly--it's been 15 deg in Philly the past few days. Turning the temp up to MAX won't do anything until the car is warmed up, and while it's cold, Auto will keep it from blowing cold air and making you feel worse.

 

A down-filled jacket is very nice for the first 20 minutes or so.

 

cant say it wont void the warrant but yes it can be done and I can say its just as safe as my other car that takes a key. If you can get it done for 500$ or less its a good deal IMO. I paid a lot less but have sent this guy a lot of business and done 7+ cars of my own with him so they pushed this through the back door for me With my weather I love burning the extra gas
