Is always using remote start a good choice?

My 2022 Civic has the remote start option which turns on the car from outside using the fob (basically warms up the engine but with the doors locked so I think it's safer and more convenient) and at the same time uses the climate control system to warm up the inside of the car. Is there anything to be concerned about with using this method all the time? In other words is it going to have a negative impact on anything compared to turning on the car normally? I'm assuming not given it is a function the car is made to do, but wanted to make sure.

If it were me, I would exercise the key lock cyclinders once in a while to keep them from seizing up. You never know if you'll need to use them one day when your car battery goes flat, or the fob dies.

Other than that, I see no issues with it.


In the door you mean? The ignition must certainly be push button start.


Yeah the ignition is push button start. And even the door doesn't use a key (it has a place for that little key thing the fob has in case fob doesn't work but no need to use key on daily basis).


Anything with a key hole

I can't see it causing any issue.
