No argument there, basically you're getting the service for free or close to it so yes that is the best reason yet to subscribe. Does your insurance want proof of having it?I'm sure you are correct. But you're missing the point. I get a heck of a discount by having the active subscription.
How is it a cost for the manufacturer? It's been a free feature for years, at least the within 50 ft of the vehicle. Now granted if you want to start your truck from the next town over, that's something you will need to pay for but just to remote start should be free. The app they're pushing now is bullcrap. I get the sales pitch in email all the time. Pay the subscription for our app so we can tell you when it's time to come overpay us for services that you don't really need.Honestly, the remote start subscription is not a good example to use. First, this is a service that costs the manufacturer. Would you prefer they make it free and recoup their costs by increasing the cost of the vehicle for everyone?
A better example would be a subscription to activate a feature like HUD or 360 video. I recall some EU company was going in this direction, maybe BMW?
I wasn't clear. I'm talking about the app driven remote start, not the FOB. Of course a FOB shouldn't be a subscription, but the app service using satellite is. Most of these posts are regarding the app service.How is it a cost for the manufacturer? It's been a free feature for years, at least the within 50 ft of the vehicle.

Well, you don't have to subscribe if you have no need for the app?How is it a cost for the manufacturer? It's been a free feature for years, at least the within 50 ft of the vehicle.

Agreed. When I was young I lived in an 80 year old cabin in northern kentucky. It had a coal stove and an old heater. No running water, so no toilet, did have an outhouse. I had to place coal lumps by the hand pump in the kitchen to get water during winter.Man everyone getting so sensitive about one word. Maybe not a necessity by definition. And while I've gone many years without a remote start now that I have it I wouldn't go without it.
To each their own.
App satellite remote start or FOB remote start?Toyota tried the pay as you go for remote start, The flack they got was not good lol
I have it on my CiviC. Love it.I guess I'm alone in thinking remote start is a useless feature. I briefly had a Jeep with remote start, never used it. Maybe I'm a cave man but I just can't wrap my head around what's difficult sticking a key in a hole and turning it.
I'm sure as **** not going to pay a subscription for having a car that also depreciates and I need to maintain on my dime. It's one or the other, either I 100% own it or they 100% own it, none of this worst-of-both-worlds junk.
Actually, if I read it right, the base truck would be built with all the added technology, but you would have to pay for activation. It makes sense for the manufacturer, in that ALL vehicles go down the line and are built the same.
