Remote starters are evil! I need to disconnect the one on my Jeep. It drains the battery after a few weeks. One day it started on its own and ran for a few hours. I discovered it when I walked out to go to work and my Jeep was running - it burnt through 1/4 tank of gas!

Never though to run recirc to get heat inside quicker - I wonder if that's why it takes so long for the heater to get hot? The car comes up to temperature in a reasonable amount of time ... but it's still trying to heat outside air. I'll have to try recirc.
