This is a great way to get your car warm and toasty before you leave for work in the morning, or when it's cold outside.
Some of the most advanced keyless entry systems don't even require a fob. The cars can be unlocked and started by using a smartphone application.

Certain keyless entry systems even keep track of the driver's preferred seat position as well as the temperature of the cabin. This is a huge time saver while you're pulling up to the parking area.
