Remote Start
I wonder if we will get remote start on the G20 like they have in the US via software upgrade some day?

I was able to do it on my last car which was a Jaguar XE R Sport so I don't think it's a legal thing.

I think as long as it doesn't require the combustion engine to start it is possible.
I know in pure ICE cars, the ventilation can come on remotely for a short period of time, but it won't be cooled or heated (draws too much power). |

Can’t leave a combustion engine running unattended in the U.K. so remote start is a no but you do have ventilation feature on none hybrids and on the hybrid models when plugged in you can preheat them
