They removed the start/stop from the key fobs and paywalled it behind the app.

Edit: yes yes, I get it, I was wrong. No need to tell me again lol.

There was a minute when it wasn’t on the key fob for a lot of the Korean cars. My extra wife’s 2022 Kona, fully loaded, doesn’t have remote start on the fob, only through the app.

Interestingly, these do include roadside and the cheaper option is $5/month and the more expensive one is just over $12/month.

So it sounds to me like this would be a good value for you.

All of those things?

While there’s a bunch I am assuming you can’t look up the location of your car through an app or website, or adjust the climate controls remotely, or get alerts when the alarm is triggered.

There are some features in here that require some sort of connection, what I find criminal is that they remove the features we DO have on our old cars from the key fob and paywall them behind an app.

There’s also the fact that remote start, while shorter range, has existed on key fobs for like 20 years. My ex wife’s 2022 Hyundai has remote start, but only through the app, while my 2013 Focus has it on the key fob.

That’s honestly the only feature that’s bundled in those subscriptions that I really want, though the alarm notification is a nice to have.

Curious how I’m supposed to pirate the theater experience.

This doesn’t really seem like a problem that piracy can solve.

Similar experience when my local restaurant/bar theater got bought by regal.

87% shitposts I bet lol

But really, that’s a cool landmark.
