Do any auto manufacturers offer this?

I see several aftermarket systems here: https://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/a34512303/best-remote-...

Doubt it. Mine's aftermarket. The manufacturer doesn't offer remote start on their manual transmission vehicles so I had to get an aftermarket system if I wanted remote start for those -50 days. Mine's a little older / less fancy than some of those linked[0] but essentially the same.

I doubt it would ever solve my problem (they're still not going to offer half the functionality on a M/T vehicle), but there's no reason they couldn't offer something like this as a couple hundred dollar option on most of their vehicles. They already basically have all the hardware in the car I figure.
