Just found this out Sweeeet

Like many of you in order to warm up my car i have to go and either sit inside while its warming up or bring it close to the entrance where i work and stand by the entrance for 10 minutes while it warms up. Well i do this no more. I found out last night that my alarm is able to unlock the doors even with the ignition on SWEET. Now i know this isn't possible with all alarm systems as i tried it with my previous car and yo couldn't do it.By the way I have a Viper alarm.

A lot of companies are making remote starters. Heck, I remember 15 years ago installing one on a 928. I believe some cars are even coming equipped from the factory with this function.
I live in Sunny SoCal, where it's just a bling thing. I bet where you live (especially this time of year), a lot of people have it installed on their car(s) .

My alarm came with a turbo-timer, it's absolutely amazing for mornings and before leaving work. Best one by far though is leaving parties early in the morning and all your friends can get in a nice warm car They love the EVO lol!

I have a Compustar Alarm that has the Turbo Timer Remote Start and Window control to let the heat out when it is hot!
