First year of my Turbo...I hardly used remote start button probabily once or twice and Same was with Paddle shifters....but slowly I started using that and in this summer I frequently used that function....just pressing a few minute before and when you enter ....car is cool and smooth...surprisingly I have started to use paddle shifters ... quite odd and complicated for me in start. ....but now I am in love of sporty response of Turbo when I use paddle shifters....I know this is not answer to your question but this is just to share experience of usefulness of these accessories
