Remote start?

[in-e-os]

Hi All!

Curious about this one… since the Grenadier will have an old school key, can remote start still technically be a feature that's included? Can’t find any info on this!

Thanks!!!

You can start it remotely from the drivers seat with your foot planted firmly on the brake pedal and the key in the ignition
You need to get someone else to turn the key though

remote starts have been I talked on keyed vehicles for 30 years. Would be nice if it came from the factory though.

Stupid auto correct. They have been installed on keyed cars for 30 years.

There is a button below your post, where you can correct many miss takes I will correct this one ..
EDITED: mistakes

Had a good look over the key yesterday. Nothing special, just a good old fashion flick Knick style key fob. I just hope the Ineos key ring is as industrial as their vehicle. It’s a heavy, chunky key

I love having remote start and had it in a few F150s that were keyed. Worked fine, but it was a factory option. I know there’s tons of aftermarket starting kids out there so I’m sure it’ll be possible. But I have no desire to have a second fob so hopefully there’s a phone controllable option out there.

As with all new cars , the factory offering is just a start

Though it might fall out of your Armani suit pocket when you step into a puddle outside the opera in your John Lobbs brogues...

Some of the aftermarket options use the factory remote but then you are limited to the range of the factory remote. Most will then offer a “long range” option as well that operates with a different remote or app.

I use remote start on my factory optioned keyed duramax daily. Great to warm up the block and the truck before getting in. The wife and kids definitely appreciate it.

Personally I don't want this in the grenadier. It's not a Tesla

I thought modern EU spec vehicles are now designed so that idling to warm up is not the thing to do. Rather jump in, start and drive.

I never heard that anyone here has a remote start option.
Indeed, related to air pollution, CO2, and fuel consumption etc. it is much better to jump in, start and ride.

But the Grenadier doesn't have an electric heated front windscreen, so when it is -10 in the mornings it's going to take a few minutes to get hot air to the windscreen. The inside of my D4 had ice on the inside last month and that does have an electric windscreen. Even opening the door with frozen door seals was difficult

Electric

Not with the engine. Webasto is a solution for heating up your car before driving since many years.
I have one in my Defender, very comfortable again right now in Austria.

I agree with this, neither my Suzuki Grand Vitara has a heated front windscreen: I had the same problem some weeks ago. But how often does it happen (in Belgium not that often anymore)?

Park under cover or better yet in a garage. Or move to a warmer place
