    The key fob remote start would be fine and for free. Or you could use local wifi instead of the open internet which is a security risk. This is anti consumer bullshit made to get a subscription where one is not required.

      That’s the part I said was an asshole move. Removing it from the key fob. WiFi really isn’t feasible anywhere outside of your house, and even then only if it’s close enough to the house. How would you connect if you’re at work, in a parking garage or the far end of a parking lot?
