I have remote start on my trucks. If I run in the store for a few, I'll just crank the air, shut the truck off, then as soon as I get out and lock it - remote start it and let the mutts sit in the A/C. :)
That's a great idea.
I do the same thing. My truck is a dark navy blue, almost black, and heats up quickly. My auto start system does not run continuously, it will time itself out - I am not quite sure on the limit, I've never timed it. I think it may be 10 or 15 minutes... So we generally try to get back to the truck before it times out, or be sure to "restart" it if we know we will be longer. One nice thing about how mine is set up is that you cannot modify the heat/cool settings while it is on autostart. If the a/c is on, it will be running on highest fan, max cold. The truck is an icebox when I come back, which also gives me a few extra minutes before the truck heats up to an unsafe temp when the engine shuts off.
