remote start and defroster

[irkage]

So I spent 4 hours (a long time, I know) installing a remote-start add-on to my alarm and I was wondering whether or not I should wire up the rear defrost trigger. It would work wonders in the winter, but the problem I saw was running it during the summer and whether or not it would be bad for the defrost circuit?

If there isn't really a problem I was just going to wire it, if there is I might wire a toggle switch to turn it off during the summer months. What do you guys think?

well if you don't push the button it shouldn't come on right?

The thing is I can wire a trigger from the remote start to turn on the rear defrost (as if i actually hit the button) which would be nice during the winter when I can't see through the glass, but I'm not sure if it would damage it in the summer when there isn't condensation of the glass.

it has a timer relay that shuts the defrost off after 30 min i believe.

i use the remote start in my set up and ive noticed by the time i get in my car its warm enough that once you do hit the rear defrost button it works quick so there is really no need to wire it in but do make sure your heater is on when you turn your car off at night!!

Sounds good! Means I don't have to hang out under my dash again.

Thanks!
