My cousin in VA has 3 kids, and she said life with remote start would be much more difficult.

- SUV Turns on and sets acceptable climate
- LCD's turn on for the kids, so they're situated
- Car warmed up and ready to go during cold/hot weather
- Roll windows down to release hot air, or cool down vehicle sun bathing.

She mentions that the kids don't complain about being uncomfortable when seating.
This makes for a happy mommy.

Do anyone know of any aftermarket solutions for our cars that offer Alexa integration? I know to some of you, it might seem petty, or not needed, but I use this function every time I start my car remotely, as it is much easier to just ask Alexa to start the car than it is to pull my phone out of my pocket, start up the Lexus app, use my fingerprint to verify, wait to forever for it to verify, then finally start the car.

matts you have stated no one sits in the rear seats and also that the window operates from the rear switch.

Why worry about the master not working when on the odd occasion some one is in the rear seats, they can operate the window with the rear control.

why waste time and money?
