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.
What's gonna happen to me if I don't use that feature?
The feds are gonna come and whack you
Nothing at all. You're just going to enter a hot 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
On a hot day, cool the car down before you get in. Same for the inverse of wanting to heat the car up before you get in when it's super cold.
