Woman here needing info about buying device that starts car & heats for winter?
I don't know anything about them and I live in "snow country" NYState. I'd like to have one installed in my son-in-law's new car as he takes my infant granddaughter to daycare daily. What do I need to know about these devices? Who installs them and approximately what should I expect to pay? It'd be nice to have the car warmed up and partially defrosted before putting the baby in the car....and it'll be an early Christmas gift :D. Thanks for any info!
I marked that site...I never knew they were sold there and I have one nearby. (And yes, it's an automatic 4 dr. sedan). I just hope installing it won't cost an arm and a leg.
By heating up the car, I was thinking if when turning off the car a person could leave the defroster turned to "High"....then probably when entering car, switch can be changed to "inside and defroster"?....to set it just on "heat" wouldn't do any good as defroster needs the most work (and unfortunately, no garage at their townhouse--they're saving for a home, though).
...and leg warmers :D
if it was just for adults, we've managed all these years...but for the baby?....grandmas spare no expense! ;)
Thanks for the edit, Skyhawk...that's cheaper than the baby shower was...lol.
Thanks, Pat..that's info I needed to know (where to set the knobs)...how to get the best of both worlds..heating the car and defrosting (some days there's no ice really) but car surely is waaay too frigid in early am. And yes..baby gets bundled-she's such a cutie. Daughter picks up baby but her car will already be heated by that time.
Chris, in this case "man" is "mr. mom" because mom has to be to work before daycare opens. Both sets of g-parents helping to cover the $1000 a month expense (til our retirements work out to take over babysitting).. and so the $200 car remote seems a simple bonus they all could enjoy to make life easier ;).
