Remote starter

I want to get a remote starter so I can defrost the windows without going out and starting the car. Do I have to remember to leave the car in defrost mode every time I turn off the car in order for the remote to work? Does anyone have recommendations on a particular model and where to get it?



I did a little research and noticed that some models work with an existing keyless remote. That sounds good.

But I will reply because the mods will move it.



Some good brands are Black Widow, Viper, and Clifford. Yes you will need to leave the car on defrost. I do not recomend you leave it on high. i leave mine on the # 3 setting before I get out of the car. I have a range of about 3 football fields. Mine had an alarm that came with it and it was $525 including install and some features I added, but I got a deal. Without an alarm expect to pay around $200 plus the little addons that add up quick for instalation. ANy other questions you can PM me.
 
Thanks. I wasn't sure which forum to use. I thought this one might apply since it has to do with removing ice and I've seen several posts here about removing snow.
 
Some cars will not let you leave the rear window defrost on, depending on if it has a mechanical switch or just throws a relay. My car for instance, has a relay so I can't just push the button and remote start it next morning. There may be a way around this, but it might be complicated/expensive.



I hope your car has an automatic transmission too, otherwise it can get more complex or "under the table". :D
