No remote start for me, my vehicles are all garaged. It still gets butt-*** cold, but no frost, frozen windows or locks. As far as comfort goes, remote start would be nice but filling my house with toxic fumes isn't an option. I thought about putting in ventilation or flexible tubes I can hook up to the tailpipe but it's not worth the effort.

 

That's called a garage door opener. They make them....

As for a 30 second warmup, yea right lol when it's below 32 it doesn't even idle down til a minute, besides I wanna have some oil going through the truck before I pull out onto a road that's speed limit is 60

 

I back my cars in. There's really not enough ventilation to get the exhaust out before it goes in.

 

I know what you mean as I am in the same situation, living just off the highway (50 mph). But the fact remains that .
Max 4-5 minutes in extreme cold, one minute otherwise. When the idle drops down to normal, it's time to move.

The problem then is how to manage without rapid acceleration with a cold engine. I don't have an answer for that one. I am fortunate that my highway is rural with sparse traffic, and wide shoulders to pull over if faster traffic comes up on me before the needle starts to rise.
