BMW is planning the same sort of deal… subscription based options, like heated seats, remote start, etc. You pay for them monthly and can turn various options on/off on demand.
Subscription based remote start is not a new idea. Hyundai/Kia have been doing it for years, granted there was no button on the fob. If there is a button on the fob you should not be forced to pay a subscription. Through an app is a gray area.
Now subscription based stuff like heated seats.. that's a different story.
EDIT: Toyota remotes do not have dedicated remote start buttons, rather a sequence of Lock-Lock-Lock. That's probably how they're getting away with this.
None of this is new.

I'm sure after market We'll find a way around it
Oh I certainly hope so.
I wonder where the law will come down on this? If you purchase a car in cash, it is titled in your name, and you hack a "subscription" feature..
Take it into consideration when buying a vehicle. If enough people shop elsewhere they'll change it.
Ah.......just watched a bit of this......that's Steve Lehto, a lawyer famous for auto related issues. Take the video with a grain of salt.

This is a very old video...isn't it!
The first subscription auto service that I remember is (my favorite pos manufacturer) "OnStar"
This will be our first Ford in a decade, pretty
sure we'll have the opportunity to subscribe to att @ $20 a month so the "complementary" FordPass will continue to work

Toyotas are the worst. Lots of people love em, but lots of people loved Hanson and Limp Bizcut too.
