It's bad enough with the uConnect, XM, and such subscriptions. My diesel Cruze I had a 6 month trial on XM when I bought it. The remote start from my phone was a super nifty feature working in a factory. I could pull out my phone, open the app and start my car before I even left the building (WAY outside the range of the fob). But even that I didn't keep the subscription. As others have said, I already pay for the vehicle. The options it was built with (And charged for on the sale price) should be it, no added fees or subscriptions for specific features. I wouldn't mind trying the uConnect on my truck, at least for the trial period, but I've read that trucks from Canada use a different software that doesn't work in the U.S.
