Remote starters are a helpful aftermarket vehicle option. Cars can be started without a driver. This is especially handy for vehicles parked outdoors in extreme weather. With the engine warmed up, you can quickly set a comfortable temperature with the air conditioner or heater. Remote starters for the Pontiac Grand Prix vary little in cost.
