Scheduled Preconditioning?

Hi Everyone!

Loving my Volt 2017 so far!
How that temperature is dipping near 0C ... time to warm up the cabin before getting into the car with my 4yo!

I know there is a way to set "Departure time".
Is there a way to tell the Volt to "Precondition cabin for departure at xx:yy time"?!

Even the stupid SmartCar can do this ...

Or do i have to use my RemoteApp and hit Start-Car 10min before i leave?

THX!! :)

I just started both volts via the OnStar app. The gen 2 took 9.5 seconds to start and the gen 1 took 11.5 seconds (iPad in one hand with app and iPhone in the other with stopwatch). That is too long for you guys? Ironically, I did the gen 2 first and the time included inputting my pin.
It's not -always- that fast. Sometimes my Gen 1 Volt is quick, other times it can take upwards of 120 seconds to start. It depends on several factors I think, but I do believe they've increased the performance a ton over what it used to be.
