Reading this thread:How do I leave the AC running upon exiting the car? reminded me of a feature that would be awesome. When I put the car in park, and am getting out of my car, it would be awesome to have a button come up on the screen that says:
"Hold temp for 30 minutes?" [10....9....8....7....6...
Then the button would just disappear after a countdown, but if you tap it, it would keep the AC/Heat running for 30 minutes (configurable?).
This would be perfect for grocery store trips, stops at the bank, any errand where you are out of the car for a bit and come back to a hot car. Yes I know you can turn the temp on with your phone, but more often than not, I go into a building and lose signal so I have to get out of my car, wait for it to lock (or walk far enough away).. wait for the phone app to load/connect, then turn the AC on, then go into the building...
Thoughts? (P.S. Please don't hijack this thread with.. "you know what else annoys me?")
