I am going to have a remote start installed in my 2012 Outback since it will be parked outside all winter here in Minnesota.
The place that will install can do some extra wiring that will turn on the back window defroster, heated mirrors and front window defroster every time it is remote started.
Any known problems in doing this? I only remote start a hand full of times during the summer to cool down the car before I get into it. The heating elements would be on then also until I enter the car and turn them off.

Thoughts?

My 2012 is a premium with the winter package. The defrost circuit has side view mirrors, front windshield base defrost and rear window defrost on it. Even if the button is lit when you turn the car off, it resets the circuit to off. I did have a remote start installed and the technician was able to get the defrost circuit to go on. I chose the Python Responder one. (made by the same company as Viper)
Python – Remote Start - Python Responder One
Mine was installed by Mobile Enhancements in South St. Paul Minnesota: Welcome to mobile-enhancements.com!
They do great installs and are very inexpensive. I got the whole thing done, with bypass unit so I did not have to give up a key for $275.00
Highly recommend them, have had two remote start systems installed by them in Subaru outbacks.
