mine is also an 06 and they dont come on with the remote start. it also has to be hella cold for the heater to actually kick on. sometimes the ac will be on and itll be 54 outside like today. this is kinda off topic but kinda on topic. just had my remote start fixed do to the crappy range a few weeks ago, and now the car wont shut off if you hit the start button once its on or if you step on the brake. just curious if anyone elses does this? they changed my fobs and everything so i dont know if its a new remote start and if its not supposed to shut off when you hit the start or the brakes when its running.

I had mine replaced as well. It should shut off when you hit the button. (Mine still does) You may take it back to the dealer. Did your range increase much? Mine is pretty good now. It would only work from about 30 feet away before, now I can start it from a few hundred feet away!

20's are a little to big for me, but i think they look nice on cars that are gp/monte size. I do like the looks of those wheels, though and think they would look super on a white GXP.

You'll get your money's worth if you actually sell your Alcoas.
