Is there any remote engine start kits available for a 06 Lotus Exige S?

I know its lazy but so i can stay in bed a bit longer and prewarm the car a little bit.

Thanks

I'd speak to an Alarm fitter to see if they can integrate something. thought about this myself as a mean's of warming the Car up properly

Personally, I wouldn't warm a car up at idle - it takes too long to get enough oil up to the valves/cams. Or are modern engines more sophisticated than that?

Besides, you just KNOW you'll leave it in gear one day and try it. smile

Not a wise idea; best to just get in and drive it - does less damage - just take it easy till cars warmed up.

remote starters are illegal in the UK.... (as Merc customers have found out)

also, no insurance co is going to cover them....
