Yes, the engine will warm up faster depending on the RPMs and load. OP doesn't care and it has nothing to do with the goal.

And it does have something to do with how far you drive and/or driving at higher RPMs as it will be an offset to any harm from idling. Idling for an extended period of time is certainly not a critical issue.

The point of OPs thread has nothing to do with how fast the vehicle warms up. It is about adding the benefit of a remote start so that it is comfortable when his wife gets in. I think this falls under happy wife is a happy life so if a remote start is what his wife wants than we should be helping him get it done.
