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.

It occurred to me that the remote start may not be avaliable on my manual transmission F-type. 🤔

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.

The police are too busy catching all the burglars around the country, I use remote start all the time when I'm out and about, great feature.

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.
