Most will buy the Design Tech Remote Car Starter to fire up their heaters on cold winter mornings. Being in New Mexico, the opposite is true for me: the searing 120° heat of the Llano Estacado summer is what drives my interest in this most useful device.
It's very simple, requiring no rewiring or expertise to install: hook it up to your starter, click the remote from within its 1,000-foot range, and the car's electrics fire up. Security is handled by it automatically cutting power if the vehicle is taken out of drive or neutral without the real key in the ignition, so you won't have to worry about people leaping into your convertible and whisking it off.
It's $85 at Amazon with free shipping.
