I use it for the reasons mentioned. It’s easy to use, if you can’t figure it out you don’t need a smart phone. It also told me about my recall 2 months or so before my letter came in the mail.

I used it to schedule my truck to start during my flight back to dfw.. I could also see setting it to start regularly if I were going to be away for a month or three.

It's been crazy hot the past few weeks in Houston; as in multiple days over 100. I use it when I'm leaving the gym midday and just took a shower so I don't start sweating again right after I got cleaned up.

Even with full ceramic tint, a black top parking lot is brutal so I use it to start it from the locker room before I head out the door.

We've had a several week long heat wave in Southern California, my weathertech sun shade has made a HUGE difference in the amount of heat the interior absorbs. It's a pain in the ass to take on and off, but well worth the effort in these weather conditions.

I've been meaning to test to see if that would work better. I do have 80% ceramic tint on my windshield and it makes a significant difference. But I'm sure an actual sun shade would make an additional improvement.

I use it most times I am out, I always forget to lock the truck or think I forgot anyway. And warming up or cooling off after the plane lands when I come home from a business trip. Very handy.

Love the app. I'm used to spending A LOT on a Viper remote start. The app works better than Vipers app. Only compliant I have is no positive feedback on the door lock. You get a message saying they locked or unlocked but once it goes away nothing there to tell you. I also wish it showed the tire pressure. If it say's " monitoring " none are showing low. I let the air out of one to see what it says and got a " low tire warning" but nothing saying what tire. Overall, very pleased.

he's in California. land of the oppressed and loving it. they have to be careful with tint. I have limo ceramic on every window and roof and heat is not an issue here in South Texas

I'm not going to say that it's stupid that I am unable to connect devices to my truck via 3G . But, I've got kids and they think it's stupid that I can't at least merge my phone's hotspot to the truck so they can watch Peppa Pig and Chuggington on a tablet. I personally am not complaining, but there are times I wouldn't mind the option.

I turn my phone into a "hotspot" through the settings Personal Hotspot tab and my kids log into my wi-fi for internet access when we are on trips. Works well.

I use it daily. I don't have windows in my office, so i don't like to rely on the key fob. However, with the app, it tells me when it's started it.

It also nice when I'm about to board a plane and I can't remember if I locked the doors.
