      Toyota has the worst possible take on this too. It’s not just a subscription to use the mobile app, which kinda makes sense, but a subscription to use the key fob remote start.

      You can’t use the completely offline version of remote start without paying a monthly fee…

        All of the car companies are doing this now, I believe Volvo is not though.
