How does the remote start work? I have a Titanium and theres only 3 buttons on my intelligent access fob. Unlock/Lock/Trunk pop... Is there a 4th button for you to remotely start? Please let me know, if I can remotely start my car, it would make it that much sweeter.

Remote start is an option...not standard, so yours may not have it. Mine doesn't.

It was optional on the 2012 Ti, but was made standard on the 2013 MY.

Yeah for the 2013 Titanium model remote start is standard.

^^This. And it works beautifully. Hit lock once and doubly tap the start button, car on.

The only thing the SE lacks standard to the titanium is keyless start, front parking sensors, backup camera, all one touch power windows. I think titanium also has power passenger seat

option wise the titanium has available handling package with 18s, available parking package, and not sure but maybe available auto wipers.

Sounds just like my SE with black pack option. I compared the Ti to this and couldn't justify the extra dollars for the backup camera and sensors, and keyless start.

Agreed. I HATE those things.

I had to run the car for a bit to help defrost the windows while I had to scrape them clear. The rear with its electric grid heats up really quickly, the front was a lot slower.

In those cases I could use a remote start, but unless I remembered to set the car to max defrost before shutting it off it would be splitting the air flow three ways (floor/ vent / defroster) and then it wouldn't clear as quickly.

One feature I wouldn't mind seeing on more cars is the defroster elements under the windshield wipers. I have that on my STI and love it but I'm fearing how much a new windshield costs.
