> remote start which is very necessary in cold climates

Not just necessary, but very necessary? I understand it's convenient, but I think you've overstated it a bit. You can always start your car and then go back in the house for a few.

This is less secure and even illegal in some places.

Factory remote start is designed to be operated while unattended, and prevents people from stealing the car, prevents it from running too long, etc.
