Why do u let it go down to an idle the cold? That usually takes a good 10 minutes(it did with my 4cyl accord lx, i gotta wait till this winter to see how fast my av6 accord and 93 civic heat up just idleing)....just let it run for 1-2 minutes and take off(not hard..a nice smooth acc.)...warm air shouild be coming into the cabin in about 3 minutes of doin about 30-40 mph on a back road. Quicker on an interstate. This way u save gas as well.
But the ideal thing would be remote start!! Can a remote start feature be installed by honda? Do they support it? I want to add a vibration sensor to my existing keyless entry system on my accord as well as that if tis possible. That'll be SOOO helpful in the winter. And when ur in a hurry too comin outta the grocery store.
