Regarding the legality of the remote starting APP.
The car remains locked whilst Engine is running , so unless you have the key it cannot be stolen/ driven.
So it’s Legal (for UK )
Legal as long as you are not on a public road.

There are a number of cases in the UK ...it's a fixed penalty ticket. Some Mercs have the capability of being locked with the engine running with no keys in the motor and they have been ticketed.
Also the council can probably nab you for idling under The Road Traffic (Vehicle Emissions) (Fixed Penalty) (England) Regulations 2002
Quote:
12.—(1) An authorised person who has reasonable cause to believe that the driver of a vehicle that is stationary on a road is committing a stationary idling offence may, upon production of evidence of his authorisation, require him to stop the running of the engine of that vehicle.
(2) A person who fails to comply with a requirement under paragraph (1) shall be guilty of an offence and be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale.
13. An authorised person who considers that a stationary idling offence has been committed may, in accordance with Part 7, issue a fixed penalty notice to the driver of the vehicle.

I't a bit like they don't warn you not to speed
You are right about your own drive though ...so just need to be careful on the road I guess.

I would argue that when it was left the engine was stopped. It only states that it can’t be left with the engine running

I have an Eberspacher installed from Land Rover, but I can not change runtime settings (I need this one a lot), temperature, heat/cold settings. I had all that settings on my previous car, but I had a Webasto module.
Maybe it is possible but I don't know how?
