I had this on 2018 Durango and it never worked. I could be sitting next to the vehicle in open daylight and press the remote on the app and it would say it could not find the vehicle. Has the experience improved at all?

Mine worked as long as truck hadn't been sitting more than a day. After about a day it goes deep sleep and stops listening.

I've never had an issue with mine other than when in a parking garage or something similar. The satellite signal doesn't reach. It's definitely not fast by any means. Can often take up to a minute to send a signal. But it's been worth it for me. Especially in Colorado in the winter. Can start the truck from anywhere. The other features are cool but not really useful on a normal basis.

On the newer trucks...that is Sirius Gardian. I was kind bent they did away with the actual connect services.

Bit the bullet yesterday, activated it. By afternoon it did not work...called, they can't figure it out and put in a service ticket.

If you want we can meet up and I can take a look. I’ve never had an issue. We live in the same city. I used to work at the local dealership but went back to the World of aviation (DFW).

That would be cool. Would love to meet up with a fellow forum member. Hit me up with a PM and I'll give you contact info.

I used the phone app a couple of times to start mine but I didnt renew it when it ran out because my key fob works fine for that and I didnt care to pay a monthly charge for the other few things the app would do.

I found it to be unreliable. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it did not.

app is horrible. Mine is only few weeks old. When it can find my Truck, it's almost always wrong.
First time I tried it. It showed my truck 5 streets away. I went out side to see if someone stole it.
So many issues. I just delete that crap.

Definitely not worth the money they charge for that service. It's random for me. Doesn't matter if it's been parked for days or hours, it works when it decides to work. Sometimes it can take 10 seconds to unlock/lock and other times 2 to 3 minutes and most times it doesn't work. We have the My Start Plus service with the wife's Hyundai Accent, I decided to give that a try the other day.

I will never pay for that sh*tty service.
