Remote Car Starter - Toyota Yaris Forums

Revsson · 11-08-2008, 12:53 PM

I had a remote starter/alarm on my pickup truck. It was great for turning it on in the
parking lot at work to have a warm truck on the drive home. You could set it to shut
off after a certain amount of time. Had a nice safety feature that would shut off if
the key wasn't in it and someone stepped on the brake or tried to put in gear. Great
for if kids are in the car. I also had a block heater that I could plug in if I didn't want
to use gas...( I was using company electricity in their parking lot. ). Sounds like you
live in an apartment, and wouldn't want to get a block heater or have access to an
outlet. Of course, the danger is that someone could unplug the cord from the outlet.
I'm not sure about any block heaters for our Yaris, but living in Wisconsin, I have the
All-Weather Guard Package that has the heavy-duty starter and heavy-duty heater.
