New to the Ram trucks coming from GM for many years, but I must say I am kinda pi$$ed that we don't get the app with the ability to lock/unlock doors and start/stop the engine for FREE. Its been free on the trucks and cars I've been driving for some time now. I did pay for onstar for years until they refused to open my truck door one night that I was hurt at work and left my keys in the semi. Since then no onstar for me but had the ability to unlock my door if I accidently locked my keys in the truck.
Hmm.... because things like OnStar and even the Honda connect or whatever it’s called in my girlfriends Civic are premium things that aren’t free and cost extra, this is the first I’ve ever heard of smartphone app-controlled features being free.
You’re probably not gonna like this but, and I’m not gonna necessarily say that it was a stupid thing on their part for whoever those car brands are that you’re talking about that offer what’s normally considered a premium subscription for free, there’s a lot of times manufacturers will do some pretty crazy **** just to have an upper edge over the competition. Just ask Phord for example… LOL. I guess they consider having two extra gears in the transmission has an edge, a 3 inch larger screen than Ram’s 12 inch Uconnect as an edge, and a whole bunch of other ****.
I bet those other brands lost out on a ton of revenue from giving that **** for free when everybody else is charged for it.
