Heated seats and remote start. My 6 is now how I wanted it when I bought it four years ago.

Let me tell you: these aftermarket seat heaters are NICE. They heat up fast and they are very warm. They have two levels, as pictured on the switch below:

The highest level is almost too warm for me, but I’m hot natured. My cold-natured coworker rode in the passenger seat and said the second level was perfect. No other visible changes to the seats.

The remote start, as posted previously, works well. I can do it via pressing the “lock” button on the OEM fob three times or through the DroneMobile app, as pictured below:

The only thing that concerns me is the eventual adverse effect on my car’s battery by that Drone thing.

We’ll see, I guess. Overall, I’m happy. I have a 2016 car with 45,000 miles and zero car payment but all the features I want. Win?

One squiggle seems adequate... However TWO squiggles.... Now THAT’s living life on the edge.

Win! I’m a sucker for heated seats. And remote start is nifty as well.

Two squiggles is for sub-zero days, which we don’t get many of here in Kentucky.

I really like the three button click activation. Mine has an aftermarket extra fob that is so sensitive I don’t keep it on my keychain because I would routinely find my car hard started when I got to it without realizing I had hit it in my pocket. It would be nice to just have the regular fob and have it be a three click thing.

Here’s my screenshot of my remote starter I just took, and my car is about a 30 minute drive away from me right now

Kinja'd!!!

I’m amazed that it’s not under freezing in my car right now since it was parked there since 7am

And I have never drained the battery yet because of my remote starter, the longest it sat was a week without using it.

I wish could just turn on the seat heaters by remote control. Also the 16 V60 we got over the summer has not only heated front and rear seats but HEATED STEERING WHEEL. THAT is VERY NICE:
