The key is next to the steering column. I know, it's not sexy. I had a 1986 900 turbo, so I know what you're talking about. Fred, you're right, that I don't need the started. I promise that if I ever had one, I would use it very sparingly. I realize that a short warmup is better than a long one. And I'm actually pretty tough to the cold. As they say in Minnesota, there's no bad weather, only bad clothing. You don't hear me complain about being cold often. And I don't think I ever will have a remote starter anyway, since I don't plan on ever owning a car with an automatic transmission. I'm sure the biggest obstacle to the makers is liability. My question was really an idle engineering question, i.e. how would they do it if they wanted to? -- Tom Reingold Noo Joizy
