It’s annoying I don’t have the functionality to warm the car, especially the seats, before I set off.

Is this needed in a car, nah, but it is useful. Better than not having it.

I just upgraded the stereo in my truck as I did not have bluetooth streaming. I got one with Android Auto/Apple CarPlay and it has been terrific. Because this is basically just your phone transmitting commonly used apps to the screen, it cuts out all the arguments with the car's systems. I highly recommend it if you have the option.

I have remote start but my heated seats don't work if no one is sitting in them... but the heated steering wheel does. That sounds silly, but after having one, I'd put heated steering wheels with disc brakes for top automotive innovations.
