Sorry if I ask, what does it mean to remotely start air conditioning?

Do you mean you can start it while you are not in the car? What's the purpose of such a feature?

    It's for when it's hot outside, you're leaving a store and you want it to be cool when you get to your car.

    As bad as airing out a hot car is, it takes on a different need when its -20C and you need to thaw the car out before going to work in the morning. Much preferable to do that from inside.

    It's a nice quality of life feature, you enter a fresh vehicle instead of scorching hot After being parked for hours in the summer sun. But I would never pay a €150/yr subscription for that, fuck them
