Remote car starter

According to Click and Clack, The Tappet Brothers, you will be treating your engine more kindly by putting it in gear within a minute or so after starting and driving away slowly. Let's also discuss the amount of carbon dioxide you are adding to the atmosphere by idling a cold engine for 15 or 20 minutes after starting. Perhaps it is better to bite the bullet and sit on that cold seat and tough it out.

Some newer cars and trucks offer this as a factory installed option.

Some people have had wonderful experiences with aftermarket remote starters. So listen to them.

Me, I would never put one in any car at any time. Too much can go wrong. They tap into/splice into the main wiring of car/truck. Over time, issues do and can develop. Moisture, dirt, vibrations etc.

I bought one used car with an aftermarket remote starter and it did work fine. And it came with a LIFETIME WARRANTY. How can you beat that?

Except the lifetime warranty was with Circuit City.
