Then the car needs to do a handshake to a cloud service as I described above.

If you’re in range for these to work, the fob will also turn the car on. These features are useful if you park at a public place or on a large campus.

If the remote can do it with a local signal, yes, but that’s not the feature in the picture, which uses the app I think.

These features require the cloud, which costs money and uses carbon. If you don’t want them, as many don’t, you shouldn’t have to force the company to price them in at the purchase.

Lmao I started a similar idea using Trogdor
