ILLEGAL? Do you by any chance know which act covers this?
 
 
 
( On the theft side if you get one of the alarms with remote start, the keys are not in the car, and the doors are locked)

I knew someone would say this, it is ILLEGAL and very dangerous to leave an engine running when the drivers seat is unoccupied!
 
Without preaching there are quite a number of fatalities from this each year, do not ask me how, then there is the theft side, try claiming from your insurance company when you left the keys in and the motor running.
 
Sorry to sound a pain about this but I used to be a road safety campaigner and used to get all the horrific statistics, I do not now as I cannot hack it anymore.

Start the car and leave the engine running for 10 mins, that usually works.
 
Any 12v heater is going to hammer the battery and you need that well topped up to start on a cold morning.
 
There used to be a 240v device that you plumbed into the heater circuit that kept the water warm. Giving you instant heat >from

Does anyone have any bright ideas on how to heat the inside of the car up first thing in the morning?

 

Ideally I would have a 12V heater in the car controlled in some wireless way from the house, and somehow bridged to Homeseer.

 

Any thoughts appreciated.
