Hi everyone,
I am looking at installing a remote starter for my 2018 CX-9 GT. I went through the forum and I am set on doing the install myself of a Fortin EVO-One (lots of great help on this one from this forum.)
I have also read comments on here of people being disappointed in the fact that the HVAC doesn't blow hot air at idle, rendering the remote start idling period less useful (if not useless according to some.)
My question is for those that do have remote start installed and live in cold climate (I am in Canada), do you find it useful at all (do you see any benefits) or is everyone of the same mind that it wasn't worth it. Understanding the cabin won't get toasty warm while idling, but doest it warm up faster once you get going from the engine being already up to temperature ?
I don't mind a cold cabin, but I am looking to install one for the 3 year old and the newborn to ensure the cabin doesn't take forever to warm up for them in the back seat. I had remote car starters on my 2 previous cars (one for the wife's car and the other one the car came with it), so I am not new to them.
Thanks !
