I'm sure this has come up before but I was not sure what the proper search term was. summer is coming here in arizona. I have a 2019 rubicon and am curious about what options I have to auto start from the keyfob or maybe even the app to try to cool things off a bit before I get in

Not sure by what you mean when you say “options”. If you have remote start, push the button on the remote twice. My wife has the app on her Grand Cherokee and it takes a bit for the signal to be sent and for the vehicle to start.

With auto climate controls, the heat, heated steering wheel and rear defroster will turn on with remote start if the temperature is below 40 degrees (I believe). In the summer, the AC will turn on.

Additionally if you are low on fuel (low fuel light) remote start won’t run more than a minute or two. It does shut off normally after I think, 15 minutes. It’s great for winter starts - turns on the heated driver seat and wheel as well as climate control provided you have those options. Cold weather package!
