Greetings,
I am Mamasal and I purchased a decent 2015 CR-V 2W 5DR 2WD EX-L NAVI thru a dealership. (WOW, that’s quite the mouthful!) previous owners were an elderly couple, the car doesn’t even look like it’s been touched. They just racked up a lot of miles. ¯\(ツ)/¯
I am actually in the market for some advice regarding installing a remote start component. While living in the Pacific Northwest, more days than not, the climate’s a bit too frigid for my liking. And being from Thailand I suffer from always cold syndrome and would prefer to be able to start my car prior to getting in it.
I did a little research. The part itself is not too costly. It’s the labor that would hike up the price.
Manufacturing the part has been discontinued, but there are some still floating out there. Some folks went with a different option (not Honda made) and ran into an issue where they were able to do remote start, but the feature would shut off once they opened the door. That discrepancy doesn’t bother me, but for some it might.( I am so cold all the time I will take what I can get)
Anyways, I am all ears about people’s thoughts, I would just be tickled pink if I could get some insight. So far it’s a great car, I love it. I would love it even more if I could acquire this ability.
Looking for:
Pros and cons
Is it even worth it to installing it or just cut my losses and suffice with a blanket like I always have?
Go with the Honda brand or go with a different brand but a good high-quality option?
Installing it myself versus letting the pros do it?
And go! 🏁
