The uconnect app uses tmobile/sprint network to communicate with these trucks.

Those are the worst coverage networks available in my area. The spotty function is definitely affected by this.

That being said. I usually remote start the truck just before I get off work. It has been running before I get to it 99% of the time.

Yep, I did not renew my subscription after the free trial was up. I was lucky if the truck started 50% of the time using he app.

It takes me 30 seconds to 1 minute for my truck to receive the signal. In the 4 years I've had the truck, I've had uconnect for 3 (let it lapse last year, just signed up again). Over that 3 year span, I can probably count on one hand the number of times it failed to start or unlock, and I always got a notification when it did fail.

For reference, I live and work in/around Houston, so cell signal on any carrier is not much of an issue for me.
