I believe it's ilegal in the UK to leave an unattended car with its engine running in a public place, so remote start should only be used when the car is on private property.ralphr1780 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 23, 2024 10:30 am Lucky you, with envy, as this feature is not allowed here on the continent .

I would only start it outside my house or possibly outside work (we have a private car park with a coded barrier) so all good.scm wrote: ↑Sun Nov 24, 2024 9:56 amI believe it's ilegal in the UK to leave an unattended car with its engine running in a public place, so remote start should only be used when the car is on private property.ralphr1780 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 23, 2024 10:30 am Lucky you, with envy, as this feature is not allowed here on the continent .

Whilst it’s a great feature, yes it’s an offence - The Road Traffic Act 1988, Section 42, and the Highway Code both prohibit engine idling, except on private land.
