kingfisher1967 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I'm making full use of the remote start feature on my car, where I park is on top on of the building I work at so its a minute or so walk up to the car in the evening, so when we exit the building I call up the app and press Start, mainly because I can, mainly because when its really cold I can defrost my windscreen, but mostly to wind up the other members of staff 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex.S Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 It is a very good feature. Not sure if it’s worth starting a thread over! But yes I agree. There was a thread last winter about auto wipers wiping while frozen . Mines been good so far... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Parking on top of the building? Sure it's a Focus, not a helicopter? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex.S Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 The remote engine start..awesome. (Saves the butlers time). But for manual owners, Remote lock or unlock..there’s not many situations where that’s useful. Key fob works thru brick walls! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex.S Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Heaviest snowfall since I got the focus. Had 2 or 3 inches on top of it. Damn remote engine start didn’t work! Its been working consistently until this morning. Anyone else have the same issue today? Is it possible all that snows stopping the signal getting thru? I wouldn’t have thought so but annoyingly didn’t start it today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frowma Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Yup, had that issue this morning. I haven't used the car since early last week so there was a lot of snow on the car that I needed to clear anyways, still a pain to have to go out and try to get the frozen door open!

StephenFord Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Anyone know where the antenna is located to receive the 'remote start' signal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
