Yes came standard on my vehicle
Do you use it?
No of course not totally useless - a solution for which there is no problem - like starting your car from your cell phone. Why would anyone ever want to?

If you lived in Texas, you’d understand. Even a minute of starting a vehicle to cool down from an interior temperature of 150 degrees is pretty cool.
Some days, I'd love to do that! Have the air conditioner going for about 10 minutes before I get in on hot days; the heat on cold days. :-)
Living in Alaska, we found our remote starting key chain rather useful. When it is -20°F it was nice to not have to wait 20 minutes for the engine to heat up enough to actually produce heat inside the truck.
The problem was at work, where I could not park close enough to the building for the range of the remote starter.
like starting your car from your cell phone. Why would anyone ever want to?I take it you don't live in a climate that gets either very hot or very cold.
It would be very nice to be able to be able to start the car (in the parking lot at work, for example) from the office, and let it warm up (or cool down). In particular, in cold climates, it could take 10-15 minutes to clear the ice, frost and fog from the windshield, and I would prefer not to have to sit in the freezing cold car to do so.
If youse name ends in like a vowel, youse might tink it is like a good idea. Justsayin'! Or else eh, fuggedaboutit.
Dah crooked nose guys have a sayin': "Youse wanna make dis easy or do I gotta like chase youse round dah room?"
>>> like starting your car from your cell phone. Why would anyone ever want to?
Depends. Does your ex play with explosives too?
>>> After I heard of cases where the FBI remotely turned on the OnStar microphone to listen to conversations in cars in some cases, I swore I would never have an OnStar
I’m not worried. After a few hours of listening to me sing along to Joni Mitchell cd’s, the FBI would permanently block any further transmissions from my device.
