The remote start is a standard accessory in my 3.2 strada a/t. This coupled with "automatic aircon on" option, I find it useful to cool my cabin when parked under the sun before I ride it, although, I don't use it frequently. Other than that, parang novelty lang ito, imo. I still can't think of other situations where it will be of great use. BTW, the auto start of my strada will start only if the shifter is in P.
