Thanks for the excellent tip, I'll remember that!!Thalo said:It'd be pretty hard to take the cover off when it's covered in snow. Seems like a waste of time.
BTW: secret GTI tip for winter drivers: If you're parking your car for the night and you expect snow, after turning off the ignition turn the key back on again so that the electrical system is on but no engine and push the windshield whiper lever down once. It parks the whiper blades in a vertical position, which makes snow removal easier and keeps em from freezing into place.
Yes you can. You can even get one installed on a manual if you ask nice. Works nice in the summer too. Make sure you get one with a decent range. I have had good luck with Viper.MicMoor77 said:I would also like to get the remote start for my Fast. I was told even before I bought my Fast that it wasn't possible to install the remote starter. Something about the digital encoding with the key and what not. I don't know, but I would really like to have it.
BTW, for those who don't know, the remote start isn't just so you have a warm car to get into. It is also to thaw out your windows when they are covered in ice. It can easily take 20 minutes to remove the ice from your windshield with the heater/defroster on full blast. It sucks not having a garage. :'(
why not just pull the blades away from the windshield (park position)? Push em back down once you have cleard the windshield.cRazEYgUy said:Thanks for the excellent tip, I'll remember that!!Thalo said:It'd be pretty hard to take the cover off when it's covered in snow. Seems like a waste of time.

I live in Michigan, so I'll definitely need it when the snow hits! ;D
Hahahaha! what does a dying car, look like exactly?geoloseth said:the remote starter is able to bypass the clutch, however you just have to remember to leave the car in neutral. I had a couple friends with starters on their cars and it's pretty funny when they started it when it was in gear. kinda looked like the car was dying.
